Studio Vanitas is an artistic venture of Willow Paquette, a 3D artist by trade in the video game industry, using 3D printing as her primary medium.
Vanitas was an art movement about appreciating images of life by acknowledging death

Design was drawn in Procreate and run through an embroidery tool in Substance 3D Sampler to get the look! It's been cool to integrate some of my game art texture workflow into my 2D art.

I know we're all feeling really frustrated lately. My way of dealing with it has been donating to causes that are fighting for my rights, working out so I won't get winded in a crisis, and making art about how I'm feeling.
3" Sticker with this design coming soon!

Sometimes when I have art block, I do studies. Pinterest art tutorials aren’t deep, but they’re fun.

Last month, the fires in Los Angeles were some of the worst natural disasters in US history.
We set out to donate 100% of our January profits to the LA Food Bank to do our part and help out our community.
With my day job matching the donation, we were able to donate a total of $778!

Do you play #Lorcana or any other TCG that uses counters?

I couldn't stand the cardstock tokens that came with starter decks. After several iterations with feedback from friends, these might be the most engineered #3d prints I've designed.

They're also a fun fidget to spin with the magnets!

As sure as the sun will rise, trans people will continue to exist. Today, we keep up the fight for our existence.

Subtle #pride merch I’ve been playing around with. I’ve been considering doing 2D prints in my shop as well as our normal 3D.

“God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: so that humanity might share in the act of creation.” - Julien K Jarbo

Process video for some subtle #pride merch I’ve been working on.

Whenever I have trouble thinking of what to draw, I do a study. This time, I got inspired by a stunning photo of @bukkitbrown.bsky.social

As a #3dprinting business that strives to be as close to zero waste as possible, we got creative with #recycling our waste filament.

Despite the studio name, I'm a single trans artist with a very supportive wife who does the paperwork. I design goth and queer 3d art that I print myself. We're also donating all profits to the LA fires this month, so 2 causes in one.

Probably my favorite prints that I've ever designed is my set of cathedral window coasters.
This started as a test to see how 3 color filament looked in different top layer patterns. The spiral pattern looked like stained glass and this was the natural next step.
