Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj (1657–1689) was the son of the great Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He was a fierce and courageous ruler who continued his father’s vision of establishing Swarajya (self-rule). Despite facing numerous challenges, including betrayal and imprisonment, Sambhaji Maharaj never surrendered to the enemy and upheld the Maratha pride till his last breath.
He is often called “Chhaava,” which means cub (baby lion) because of his bravery, warrior spirit, and fearlessness from a young age. He was trained in warfare, administration, and multiple languages, making him one of the most learned rulers of his time.
His resistance against the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was legendary. Even after being captured and brutally tortured, he refused to convert to Islam, choosing a heroic death over submission. His sacrifice and unwavering spirit continue to inspire millions.
Let’s Get Into the Project!
Inspired by the fearless legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, I decided to create a 3D poster based on the Chhaava movie. This project brings the iconic movie poster to life with added depth and dimension, making it a striking tribute to the great warrior.
In this tutorial, I’ll take you through the step-by-step process of making this 3D artwork, including the materials required, techniques used, and a downloadable template to help you create your own version.
Let’s dive into the creative process! 🔥🎨
To create this 3D poster of Chhaava, I used the following materials:
✅ Printed Poster – A high-quality print of the Chhaava movie poster Download A4 Tiled Print
✅ Cardboard / Foam Board – I have used file card
✅ Craft Knife / Scissors – For precise cutting of different layers
✅ Fevibond, Fevicol, Flexbond – For strong adhesion and layering
✅ Epoxy Clay – Used for embossing effects to enhance details
✅ Fevicryl Fabric Glue – To create a 3D outline effect
✅ Glitter Pen – For adding highlights and decorative elements
✅ Metallic Colors – To bring out a rich and vibrant finish
These materials help bring the poster to life by adding depth, texture, and intricate details.
