Go ahead and add this one to the list of amazing Hatsune Miku fanart creations! A 3D pen artist named Sequena has created a Hatsune Miku nendoroid-like figure using nothing but a 3D pen as their primary tool. The process, which you can watch in the uploaded making-of video below, is said to have taken 29 hours to complete.

We’re marveled at the artist’s skill and patience, this one came out pretty good! Sequena’s official channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkSPZokRn1VaF57j7KAL9qA
