I'm a sucker for a good creature....especially when imagination is utilized. Nice work...post more if you got 'em. :chug:

These are looking really good, your folds in the skin and the womans dress are a good start. I really like your creature disign as well. The bottom one reminds me of the creature from Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, awsome man... Um I was wondering if you draw your creatures out first or just go at it? Look forward to seeing more, u should create and owner or rider to go along with the last creature, perhaps a sadle!

Hi! thanks for all of the comments!
To answer your question Spacemanchuck- For all of the maquettes I have concept turn arounds done before I even start. I also think of a little personality and reason for the textures and looks I give them. I feel I can work better on them knowing more about them. I give reason to their shape and textures. Everything is there for a reason, builds the creature/character to a more realistic level.
I am challenging myself on the next one I started a couple of days ago. A self-portrait bust of myself in sculpey. Definately difficult when you see yourself different than others do. I will post that as soon as it is finished or WIP if I can get pictures halfway, it will be a couple of weeks though, taking my time on this one for my portfolio.

Thanks again to all who commented!

This is my most recent start on my first bust, and yes it will be a girl when I am finished. The ears are still a WIP :) Any crits welcome!

Thanks everyone!
By the way it is a little bit over half scale and yes I do plan on trying to put hair on it.
