  This piece was done for my Sculpture IIB class. The assignment was open to create something in line with the direction we've each been heading in. I decided to try and create one of my creatures in 3D. The creature design was originally inspired by my Crubitz drawing, though many major changes have been made.
  
  CLICK HERE to see the Crubitz Creature pencil sketch... A rough version of the Creature was first sculpted in clay. I originally intended to create several versions, so I made a latex mold of the clay sculpture. I then cast the creature in plaster and carved in the details. I used acrylic paint for the coloring. As you can see, I even went as far as to detail the underside of the creature even though it wouldn't be visible during the class critique.
  
  Original Critiqued Version
  I had at one point coated the sculpture with a thin layer of rubber latex. The latex gave it a nice skin quality, but started to peel off after a while, taking paint with it. As you can see, I changed the skin coloring for the re-paint.
  
  Morph Animation
  This is a morph that I created to compare the initial hydro-cal cast stage to the final carved and painted stage. Because I had originally hoped to make several Freavers with their own variations, I left the mold fairly undefined. This morph shows the amount of second stage carving I had to do.
