creature sketch, angry little goat

a belated monday creature sketch! not sure why he is so angry, maybe he has a headache from carrying all those horns, or maybe he just needs a hug.

monday creature drawing - swamp monster

ovok sculpture army

a super awesome customer just sent me a pic of all of the oddfauna sculpts that they've purchased over the past year. I think they are slowly creating an ovok army.

new ovok sculpture!

so i've been working on a new ovok creature sculpture, i wanted to make one that was even bigger, and that had all of the detail of the face and fur sculpted instead of painted on like the other guys. my hope is that he would look good unpainted so that i can sell him for a little less, and then do a few different colorway paint jobs that would be sold as limited editions. i'm just trying to decide now if i should cast him myself in hydrocal gypsum (he'll be super heavy) or get someone with a well ventilated studio to help me cast him in resin. hmm decisions decisions....

I'll also have plenty of my mini accordion fold oddfauna books!
