I wanted to create an overall sleek design so I kept the intricacy to a minimum. Luxury items were the inspiration for my flashlight. I tried to imagine how I would customize it to match my taste, and the resulting product proves to be an accurate depiction.

This flashlight was created using one curve, which was then revolved to create a solid. The three rings on either end of the flashlight are grips, which were made by using the torus command. Lastly, I added my initials in a monogram as an element of personalization. After choosing the text, I used the "flow along surface" and "bend" commands to get the letters to form around the flashlight.

The head of this flashlight is made from a champagne-colored axalta material. The body is made from a clear, hard plastic. The grips are made from black rubber. Last, but not least, the monogram is made from twenty-four karat solid gold, with a matte finish.
