I'm in a greoup show with a bunch of friends and I decided to sculpt one of my GF's drawings. The gallery theme is Science Faire, and the idea was mixed and matched animals. Here is a Goatcrab.

I did a little sanding after these pictures, and next I'm going to paint it. It's times like this where I wish I had/could airbrush to make things nicer. Let me know what you all think. There are a few more pictures on my flickr.






I understand if it's a little too western looking for you all.

western or not great job with the sculpting. I wish i were at that point in my sculpting ability.

I tend to see rabbit ears in the sculpt instead of the horns. I think they perhaps should be angled forward a bit more? It could be the lack of paint, but from what I can see the horns appear ever-so-slightly streamlined & therefore giving off a rabbit-y effect.

western-flavored? yes.
damn clean looking sculpt so far? yes again!

I thought it was a rabbit as well. Solid sculpt though.

Thanks for the feedback, I get what you're saying about rabbit ears. I think the paint will resolve that, I'll post some paint pics later this week.

Put a pentagram on the forehead...!

Seriously, great illo and sculpting skillz

I agree with everybody about the awesome job you did sculpting this. You perfectly interpreted the drawing. Nice work.

I'm sure paint will help make it look less like a rabbit (which I also thought it was at first). I'd also try adding some ears on there. Might make the horns stand out more and make the head more goat-like overall.

I just painted this guy Friday and took pics this weekend. I am debating adding a little clearcoat to the claws and eyes, to give a little more shine, what do you think? Any suggestions in general? The paint did make it look a lot more like a goat than bunny.

This guy will be for sale in a group show gallery next weekend(April 10th), along with prints of the illustration be Megan.

bit of a Disney feel to it...which is not a bad thing. maybe needs more cohesion between the goat and crab body so it doesn't look like it's just a goat head that's been plopped on the grab body. pretty fun

very awesome...he has the potential to first claw your ass, then ram you with his horns!

Great sculpt and paint! Looks good as-is. I wish there were a few brush strokes where the black and brown meet so it looks like hair and not a stuck on, solid piece. Very cool work though.
