aloha tiki tribe!

So the other night I was a drawing …designing some tikis for a up coming project really…

I wanna design a new "Shark Tiki"

…here's some sketches…Ideas like a water line. It's crawling with sea life, as if it were half sunk. And swimming' with Shark Aumakua (spirits). Here it's holding a Pirate Treasure chest…that may be a bit too much. Dunno yet.

Here's an early doodle, just thinking of the concept…but how to translate it to a actual 3-D figurine? Tricky stuff.

Here's six ideas for six Tikis… very rough… top left is a "Dragon Wrapped Tiki " an idea I've been kicking around for a while now…

Here's a sketch I did a while back. I was inspired by Big Toe's "Fink Dragon" Wanted to do a painting, still do, now this project came up and I was wondering it if could translate to a 3-D figurine. Sure will need to be made much more simple to be put in a mold. That parts for sure.

Here's the start of a side view - I already am in question of what the heck to take out and how to make it work as a figurine. This one may not make it. But I'm gonna try.

Another idea I like was my old design of a "Hero" type Tiki. I like this design. A warrior but with a modern twist.
Old idea I had, but it should translate well I hope...

More Laters…. Thanks!
