Another gift from a friend - this monster is large enough to encompass your head. It is the pelvis from a cow. It is heavy and the form, texture and scale is difficult to convey with little pictures.
The skeletal deer transforms at a snail's pace. Cleaning every bit of tissue from the spine proved time consuming, but the stench of death no longer clings to the bones. At this stage the spine is reassembled and structurally sound and the PVC fittings to attach arms and legs are in place. The skull is sporting new blank eyes and fangs - all ready for detailing.
He is whispering in my ear that he wants wings. More to come.
These deer crucifixion images were submitted by a friend. It was apparently strung up near where we live, so I like to imagine the person who did it as a young aspiring artist rather than a deranged nut-job.
