DBFZ Yamcha and Ten cookies...done!!!

Soo I've been on a mission to recreate the Yamcha and Ten cookies from dragon ball fighterz because they're adorable...and they're finally real!! :'D process and info below! (kind of long lol)

I saw someone share these screencaps from the game a while ago and as someone who never played DBFZ I was so charmed at how cute these things are. I wondered if anyone had ever made cookie cutters for them, did a quick search and didn't really find anything, so just kind of moved on.

A few months later I remembered them again and was like, man, I really would love to see these brought to life lol. And I searched again and actually found someone who made them!!... But they weren't selling them anymore. 😭💔

^Reddit post from user ShadowLord898.

So in the next few days I went into the DBFZ game files, figured out how to navigate them and locate/open the proprietary file types (took...a lot of googling), and eventually found the cookie textures!!! Which I then painstakingly traced over to create vectors.

I thought once I had the vectors, it would be easy to drop them into a 3D program and extrude them to make the cookie cutters. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! It's probably just my inexperience working with vectors in 3D programs, but I tried Blender, Fusion 360, and Tinkercad and had problems in each one before finally figuring out the right approach. (I really almost gave up 🤧 but I hadn't realized that your geometry/topology don't need to be perfect when 3D modeling for print as opposed to, like, something you plan to create a texture for.)

Tinkercad and its extremely user friendly interface, plus SVG import functionality, saved me.

Oh then I realized I forgot to reverse the design, which you have to do for a cookie cutter because of how they work. I thought I would need to flip all the vectors and re-import them, recreate the models... but thankfully there's a "flip" button in Tinkercad. Fixed.

I sent the files over to my friend @.theprocrastinatingengineer on Instagram, who has a 3D printing service, and he was able to print them out for me!

While I was waiting for them to ship I downloaded Cura ("slicer" program for preparing 3D files for print) just for fun. (I was really eager...)

And here's when I finally got them!!!

Despite choosing all the dimensions carefully, I was still surprised how dainty they were when I actually held them in my hand. I wasn't sure if they would work...

So I made the dough and everything, used some 5mm thick chopsticks as guides to roll out the dough to the thickness I wanted. I put plastic wrap over the dough to prevent the cutters from directly touching the dough due to food safety concerns. Here is my first attempt to use them:

After this my mindset quickly shifted from caring about food safety to "what's a little more plastic in my system?" / "I'm here for a good time, not a long time!!" / "welll the dough gets baked anyway so that kills the germs it should be fiiine" **I Do Not recommend others to be so careless... also important note: I was the only one eating these so I didn't have to worry about others' safety 🥴

^The difference between using the cutters with and without the plastic wrap.

This first rolling out of the dough was actually a little too thick; in my design I hadn't accounted for the way the dough squishes up when you press the cutter into it. There wasn't enough vertical space at all, and the dough kept getting stuck in the cutter. It was a bad time!!! (didn't get a lot of photos of the failures here because my hands were covered in flour)

After lots of broken cookie cutouts, re-flouring the surface/cutters/rolling pin, and re-rolling the dough to be a bit thinner, I managed to get these out. I had to support Ten's head like a newborn when moving the dough onto the cookie sheet because the connection to the body was so delicate 😢

AND HERE THEY ARE...fully baked and ready 🥹

For the most part I was going to leave them undecorated like how they are in the game. But @.lamichicuenta made this really cute drawing of the cookies where Yamcha had chocolate decorations and Ten was a salty cracker, and I really wanted to try decorating some to resemble those!! Here are the photos of both versions of the cookies the next day once I was able to get some natural light for nicer pics.

(I meant to poke some holes in Ten's cookie to look more like a cracker but I forgot about it until they were already baking.)

They tasted fine...yamcha was better thanks to the chocolate. 🤭

If you read all this, thank you for following my cookie cutter journey... 😌🙏💖

Oh yeah and I made the vectors, 3D print files, and specs/info all available in a google drive folder here for anyone to use if they want! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hQ7uq3leYPK64pGgt3LhFw-70IZnkYzh?usp=drive_link

OH and one last thing, i ended up revising the 3D models to hopefully fix the issue of not enough vertical space. ...turns out I hit the maximum for photos and videos in this post, but you can see it on my twitter here! https://twitter.com/freezebobs/status/1875720926840680678

I didn't get to try these revised models, but they are the ones I put in the drive folder. 😊👍

Controlling Saiyan Saga/Scouter Vegeta in any Dragon Ball game just feels like this

Like I’m babysitting a gremlin

PICCOLO SCREEN CAPZZZZ!!!! Pt.3!!!

(These one are from daima aswell. Hope you enjoy!)

Awh, look at him. Such a cutie : ), though I do hope nothing happens to him in the future episodes since namekians are seen as valuable in the demon realm.

(Stay tuned for more drops as new episodes of daima come out!)

EAM Eighteen (Dragon Ball Shitpost)

*Krillin slowly opens his eyes, as he finds himself chained by his wrists & ankles, and verily naked*

Krillin: *shocked* "What the?! Where am I?!" *attempts to tug at the chains, but is unsuccessful* "No! NO!!"

????: "Ah, you're awake now. We can get started now."

*Krillin looks around, realizing that he is in a laboratory eerily similar to Gero's underground lab that he and (Future Trunks) destroyed all those years ago*

Vomi: *stepping out of the shadows* "You people are certainly a troublesome bunch, but, for this to kick off, I at least have to start with someone."

Krillin: *glares* "Who the hell are you?! Are you behind those weird clones attacking the world!?"

Vomi: *giggles* "Duh, Mister Obvious." *turns to her left* "Oh, EAM #18."

*Krillin's eyes widened as another figure stepped out of the shadows, who appeared to be Android 18; but her colors were dull, similar to the Clone Fighters*

Krillin: *sweating* "What the hell is this?!"

Vomi: "A duplicate of your precious Eighteen, though with obvious differences. As for EAM: it stands for the Energy Absorption Model. Obviously, she can absorb energy."

Krillin: *blinks in confusion* "I...I don't see any dials."

EAM 18: *monotone* "I have other means of absorbing 'Ki'."

(source: FunSexyDB)

*The EAM Android opens her mouth, lolling her tongue out to present an absorption dial placed upon the muscle*

Vomi: "Let's just say, I got rather creative~."
