DESCRIPTION

Popeye is a classic cartoon character who starred in his first comic strips in the 1920s and later in a animated shorts in the 1930s through the late 50s. Popeye continues to show up on TV, in film, and comic strips around the world. I hadn't heard much about Popeye in some time, so I created a composite of his various designs for animation. Translating this classic super sailor into 3d was tricky, but fun. Capturing his classic profile, bulbous forearms, and awkward proportions was an interesting challenge. The model is only 80mm tall, but it is fully detailed and his corncob pipe is also included. Printing him at 100mm tall or around 125% should work for the pipe and Popeye. Supports are helpful, but I'd suggest printing him upside down and a slight angle, tilting the toes up to avoid most issues with overhangs in his chin and fingers. This will also allow his shoes to print cleanly, which is helpfully, since he is a freestanding figure. It will be easier to clean support artifacts off of his back and shoulders.
