Model Description

It's a 3 layers multi material print. Bottom layer is the face. Layers have to be 0.2 mm for this effect.
I used 4 PETG filaments for this: blue, red, black and white. Blue (and red ideally) need to be slightly transparent for shading. Black and white can be any compatible filaments.

A couple of pixels on claws unfortunately fell off. I will fix that later by adding maybe a 4th monocoloured layer to hold the whole image together.

I took the idea of mixing layers to achieve various shades from this thread of TheSameNameTwice:
