Royal Mantis

Here are some photos of the latest creature I have been working on.  What started out as just a few sketches in a sketchbook, looking at ways I could make a praying mantis type character, ended up being translated into a clay sketch and then continued as a sculpture.  Lots of fun to sculpt!

A bit fisht part 2

After some more sketching, I decided that I wasn't happy with the look of the fish creatures so I have changed it again.  This is what it looks like at the moment.  I'm interested to see how it actually ends up!

A bit fishy

This is something I have been working on recently.  It started as a drawing of lots of fish and then as a sculpt of a pretty normal looking fish but has slowly changed into something...else.  I have a vague idea of what this creature is going to be but I like the way it is changing and evolving so where it will actually end up is anyones guess.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Snakey birdface

I ran out of clay so I haven't been able to finish this creatures other arm off but decided to photoshop him anyway.  There are some more working photos too.  I think I'll revisit him when some new clay arrives!

Cockatrice

What started off as a quick sculpt inspired by the Skeksis from Dark Crystal is starting to turn into a bigger sculpture resembling a creature like a Basilisk or Cockatrice.  Here are some work in progress shot of the sculpt so far
