“I’ll start it off with my first personal choice! @3dvegas is a true creative when it comes to bringing the MetaZoo world to life! I expect great things from him, and I’m very happy to award him the first of the new Crafter Medals!”

3dvegas was awarded the MetaZoo Crafter Medal for his community involvement, Fan Art, and 3D-printed figures. They have been awarded the Content Creator, and Silver MetaZoo Supporter Medals as well. 3dvegas Instagram

3dvegas’s Story-

During the pandemic, my daughter and I started collecting Pokemon. When we were at a local card shop I came across MetaZoo and soon after buying a few packs, I was hooked and completely forgot about Pokemon. 😆

I mainly do 3D modeling and 3D printing. I’ve been doing that since March of 2021. I also like to create a variety of different art projects. I’ve made things my whole life and enjoy any type of creative medium, analog or digital.

When I first found MetaZoo I came across the Medal applications on Discord. I thought it was so cool that I could apply for a Content Creator Medal. I made it a goal to create fan art until I got noticed, and was awarded the Content Creator Medal. I was even more stoked when it was announced I would get the Crafter Medal! Thanks Mike! I still plan on making more projects in the future but life has been busy lately. Got a new job and moving. But I will always be creating something.

There are a ton of amazing artists creating some badass MZ fan art/content and I can’t wait to see some more medals get awarded! The new Supporter Medals look super nice too. I think it’s a great way to get people involved. I wouldn’t mind that Dingbelle one. 😉

Shout out to MetaZoo, Mike, and all the staff and artists. Shout out to my daughter, she is the best! And shout out to all my MetaZoo friends and family I’ve made along the way. I think that the best part of this hobby is meeting people and making friends!
