Welcome To My Forest

Little Menaces - Ivy Tiger

Revamp of Melon the hognose snake, a character I made as a sculpture a few years ago. I have a lot of other designs of similarly sweet snakes, but ofc I had to start with the original.

A while ago I made a quick design for a proposed MLP style line, but it's snakes. I called this character Melon.

Well, I'd actually started sculpting an actual figure of Melon the Snake, but then forgot about it. Only found the sculpt I'd started when I went looking for my air-dry clay. So I finished it and got her painted.

I might one day (if I feel like it) try again. I don't really like working with air-dry clay. It's hard to get smooth, takes ages to dry, and it shrinks, which can distort the sculpt. I struggled a lot and can't say I'm 100% happy with the results.
