Sharkbait makes stuff sometimes

I think this is the right spot for this. If not, mega apologies.

A few months back I started this matryoshka yokai project to be raffled for charity at the east coast collectiondx summit. I used a store bought doll as a base. All of the sculpting on the large outer shell is apoxie sculpt. I painted everything with craft paint and various citadel paints.

This is the head of an Abura Sumashi I'm doing for Sanjeev. It's been primed black to check for weirdness and has since been [imgwidth=][imgwidth=][/imgwidth][/imgwidth]very messily sanded. Not sure if I want to add a scar over the bum eye. Anyways it's apoxie sculpt over a wooden sphere and styrene for the connecting stem. Will have a shot of the body wip later tonight I hope. Thanks for peeping!

Haha yes! I approve of this comparison. Thankies!

So I've been posting photos from my phone and just now realized they're mad huge on the board. Yeah I'm a little slow. Here are shots of the body wip and hopefully they'll show up smaller. Also the neck will be trimmed down when the body is 100%. Thanks for looking!

Looking good, Josh! Very faithful to the folklore...but the "deformed" style is very unique. I dig.

Oh, I got a chance to handle that Matryoshka doll at the Summit a couple months ago. Everyone loved it! The raffled earned over $100 for the ASPCA!

You make me blush! I'm hoping to have this guy done soon so I can maybe do resin casts or even *GASP* see if its worthy of vinyl. Who knows!

Also! Money raised was for the Humane Society. :P Not quite the same as the ASPCA but in the same ball park.
