⊰ Brick, The Last of Us ⊱
I made my daughter a brick from the game The Last of Us.
The bricks are used as weapons for hitting, and throwing, also for distraction.
I find it amusing, when someone picks it up and braces for a weight, that isn’t there, because it’s foam.
(In addition to two shirts and a bag, which I’ll add to the site in the future.)

After painting
I used AI to help plan the size of the brick.
I tried to figure out the standard size of a brick like this and calculate it relative to a hand.
The dimensions it gave me made no sense, and were too small, so I wrote down the measurements that seemed right to me. The AI then presented those exact measurements back to me as if they were its own idea…
⊲ Types of bricks in the game [4] ⊳
The brick waited patiently for its turn on my list for a long time, actually, since we played the game and I first saw it on screen.
I had to choose between several types of bricks (shown above): with or without holes, and either 8 holes or 3.
