Inspired by Warcraft's Tuskarr, a race of peaceful walrus fishermen. Fisherwalruses. Fisheruses. But there are no female Tuskarr in the game as far as I can tell, and I wanted to make a lolrus lady, so I had to use my imagination.

That is beautiful!

...can you make a cast of it? *wry grin*

[mihrimah]

I think it's got too many pointy bits to make a good cast. I might be able to make another one, though.

[archangelbeth]

You could make one to test-paint, perhaps...

*marvels s'more at the wonderful detail you've got there*

That's just exquisite. The tusk detail is the most striking part.

I really like that. It's walrussy without looking depressed. I totally want to stick a cactus or bamboo or something in that backpack.

[mihrimah]

It's not waterproofed yet, so nothing like flowers can go in.

I was thinking crochet hooks, myself. I don't know if it's quite deep enough, though.

[fadethecat]

Stitch markers, maybe? Though it may be big enough that those would get lonely in there.

That... is wonderful. ♥ You make me want to get back into sculpture.

[mihrimah]

You totally should! I remember your little dragonets with great fondness and squee. :)

I was never any good at carving, and I can only crochet or sew plushies if I have a pattern and a lot of patience, but clay-type things like ceramics and polymer clays are fun. I'd like to try resin casting, but I don't know if I have adequate ventilation.

I think I've said it before, but SO CUTE. She looks like she's just chillin, taking a little nap there, while waiting for someone to bring her some wolf babies stolen from the still-bleeding arms of their mothers... (sorry, the Tuskarr are freaking EVIL!)

When Wilford Brimley Attacks, tonight at 11!

I've always wondered about the puppy quest, as well as the fish-pimping quest. The collecting supplies makes sense, but really, if reef bulls and reef cows are too stupid to get together on their own-- especially considering that they can *see* each other across the strait-- then maybe we shouldn't be helping to perpetuate that particular species.

I think it's beautiful as-is, all in one color. Kind of primal, like some of the ancient figurines archaeologists sometimes unearth.

The balance between simplicity and detail-work is evocative and thoroughly charming.

[mihrimah]

I think I agree, and I'm going to leave it unpainted. :)
