It looks to me like the one that Poppa teaKey did would be very hard to cast...Judging from this one picture, it appears that one would have to cast those front feet separate, then add them on to the main body after. Also looks more like a dog to me than the original drawing. The thing that I really dig about the drawing is the personification (hands, etc.) of the beast with the added tiki favoring thrown in. Sweet! It will make for a very cool production mug when you do decide to go that route. Good luck to you both.
