It's always cool to check in and find more encouragement, especially from such a talented crew as Marcus, pat, kirby, Notch and Benjamin. Cheers fellas!
Something new again today - similar to a couple of earlier pendants, but also with some influence from one of my favourite TC painters. I'll ignore my "don't post it til it's finished" policy, as this guy is almost done and there's no fear of him disappearing into the box half-finished. I'm hoping to get the last few hours in this weekend.
After seeing Tiki Shark's incredible new work-in-progress and then watching "Creature from the Black Lagoon" again for the first time in about 30 years, I had to make a new Bumatay/fish/man/tiki/thing...thus was born "The Creature"! This guy would look pretty smooth in slime green, so a remake in jade is on the cards at some point...
