Megaloceros Mossback

This is my first resin figure.
The Mossback is from the dense damp forests of the pacific northwest. The Mossback is primarily nocturnal, but is especially active at dusk and dawn. The Mossback moves across the forest floor quickly and almost silently. The Mossback feeds on many kinds of plants, but is primarily nourished through photosynthesis while sleeping through the day. While the Mossback appears to be a mammal, it also has many plant-like characteristics that make it hard to categorize. It is unclear how many are in existence today because the Mossback is a very shy and private creature that is rarely seen by the human eye

 

I like it...!!! two curly thumbs up...!!!

 

Thanks Sumatra!

updated the pictures with the finished piece. Also with the mini companion.

 

that last wash turned out amazing and it goes really well with the mini.

check your homepage, it looks like the old pics are still linked.

 

Edited with natural habitat shots.

 

it would be great if the tentacles were bendy foam wire armatures!

 

Here's a crappy shot for size comparison. Also shows the patch of faux moss that comes with the figure when you buy one.

 

Finished another one today.

 

the texture on the back of this figure is pretty cool.

 

I guess this is what happens to them in the winter.

 

New mini to go along with the rainbow guy above.

 

is it a slug?

 

I do like the green one, with it's broccoli back, but that 'winter' one is superb! I did think sea/water when I jus tsaw it, so maybe do one in similar watery colours, but with the back in greens/purples, like seaweed?

 

Yeah, its a slug.

I could definitely do one with greens and blues to make it more underwater like.

 

Here's the original slug sculpt. Just took these pictures from my bed since I'm still waking up, but they should work at showing off the details better.

 

Mossback in the Summertime

 

i like that you sleep with your toys. that's dedication!

 

I might be sad right now, but the summertime makes me feel good.

Since everyone likes the green guy so much. Here's another one..

 

Looks like I forgot to post the picture of the final three summertime mossbacks.
So here's that..



but the real reason I was posting was because I am currently giving away some old shirts I had made a while ago that I just found to anyone that buys a resin or whatever.

They look like this, and there are a couple other colors.

 

I can't wait to get this guy!
I really do like all of the color ways that you've made, and the one with the antlers/branches is really sweet! But the colors on the Pink Summertime Mossback really pop. I just had to get this one!

Great job on these sculpts
