Desire (2025)

22.5 x 31.5 in

I didn't do an exact 1-for-1 from the reference, as I wanted to try my hand at a properly groggy expression to work with the to-go mug. This piece was really an exercise in making something 3d out of a 2d image, so it's pretty experimental- I had a tricky time figuring out the anatomy on the left side, which isn't pictured in the reference. I think it turned out all right.

I'll probably paint this one as well once it's been fired. I'd like to put some moss on the rocks, and I absolutely want to put some kind of bright, cheery logo on the to-go mug. Huge, pointy claws will be added post-firing as well, of course.
