Personal Project Research
Start thinking about concepting a personal project for 3D print in the future. A creature with a character (Toothless with Hiccup as inspiration). The dragon assignment for 3D II could be the first half of the project, later on adding the other character. Stat planning the overall layout, look for concepts/references, could try to concept something on your own.
