Transformation story
tattoo
By Allen Fleming
Follow the full path from original artwork through artist intent, protected elements, refined and render stages, and the outcome potential that makes the work ready for public proof.
Artist intent
What the artist wanted to carry forward
Meaning: Intent category: Glass Art Artist intent: Create a single, watertight 3D-print model from the approved yin-yang render as a 3.00 in wide x 3.00 in circular face (76.2 mm x 76.2 mm). Use one transparent clear, glass-look material for the whole piece. Keep the circular yin-yang silhouette, split relationship, and both heart-shaped openings exactly as authored; the hearts are through-holes, not painted marks. Preserve proportions and orientation. Do not add colors, separate parts, symbols, frames, or unrelated objects.
What must remain: Circular yin-yang silhouette, split relationship, and both heart-shaped through-holes.
What can evolve: Printability, edge sharpness, and manufacturable relief while preserving the authored design.
What should never change: Do not add colors, separate parts, symbols, frames, or unrelated objects.
