I’ve always been drawn to designs that mix cute with creepy, and these two little bunnies hit that sweet spot perfectly. I printed them on my Bambu P1S using Elegoo High Speed PLA+ filament, then customized them with just a few touches of acrylic paint to bring out their eeriest features. It was one of those quick projects that ended up way cooler than I expected.

The base prints were done in black and white filament—no filament changes or painting the whole figure. Just a clean, fast print using the color that would make the rest of the design pop with as little post-processing as possible. The P1S handled it like a champ. I printed both at 0.2mm layer height, and the details came through really well—especially around the eyes and face, where the expression really matters. No supports were needed, which is always a win, and the prints released clean from the bed with no warping or fuss.

Once they were off the printer and cooled down, I went straight into painting. I wasn’t trying to do a full paint job—just hit the important areas to bring these little creepers to life. On the white bunny, I used black acrylic paint for the eye sockets, nose, and mouth. I gave the eye area a smudged, shadowed look by brushing and blotting the paint around the edges, which gave it this hollow, ghostly expression that kind of stares right through you.

The black bunny was more of a dry brush job. I used white and silver acrylic to lightly paint a skull over the face. The goal wasn’t to make it look sculpted, but more like someone had painted the skull onto its face—almost like war paint or a mask. It took a few passes to get the balance right, but the rough, imperfect brush strokes ended up being exactly what it needed. It gave the figure a gritty, haunted vibe that really stands out.

Since the rest of the body color came straight from the filament, I didn’t have to worry about painting large areas or sealing the whole model. The Elegoo High Speed PLA+ took the paint really well after a quick light sanding on the areas I planned to paint. Nothing fancy—just enough to help the acrylic grip. I didn’t bother priming or sealing afterward, since they’re just sitting on a shelf for now and I really like the natural matte finish.
