This guy was a long labor of love, and I'm really pleased with how he turned out. He changed quite a bit from the initial sketch I did in Chavant clay, but I hope for the better.

See my gallery for additional photos of this piece, including some detail shots of the finished piece:


As always, thanks for looking!

EDIT:
Thanks to ^Astralseed for selecting this piece as a Daily Deviation, and thanks to everyone for the +favorites and +watches! I'm overjoyed that you all enjoy my sculpture!

I'm awe struck at all the details you put into this! Like the veins in his skin and the way his fur morphs into flesh. This is a very well deserved DD. So impressive!!! :wow:

I've always wondered... What was it with ancient cultures making mythical monsters that were just a man with the head of a beast?

Good question... I think it was probably important that the audience could imagine the monster being described in the story. that could easily be why so many of them are combinations of two or more animals, or an amalgam of parts from disparate creatures.
