“Kin”
Two gremlin fetuses painted by me. The first is a mold of the gremlin fetus, or ‘bullet ball’ that was used on screen in Gremlins 2. I then used this as a base and sculpted stripe on top of it, smoothing out the texture of his skin, adding hair and changing the facial horns and expression.
Three rare photos of a Dagonite in a coastal stream taken by a crew cleaning up litter. This small specimen was glimpsed briefly before darting away into the water. Given it's size it is guessed to be around two weeks old, as is it already showing multiple appendages. Dagonites this size live off small fish and insects, eventually graduating to larger prey like birds and larger fish. As it grows, the Dagonite will work it's way down stream, eventually ending up in the ocean where is is free to grow unrestrained.
While their full size is unknown, lore describes them as being massive. These creatures have been observed throughout the centuries, entering into seafarers’ tales of monsters from the deep. It is believed that H.P. Lovecraft’s tale Dagon, describes an ancient one of these creatures, from whom it gets it’s name.
Piranha mask.
I wanted to further explore more organic textures techniques that gave the impression of real bone. I also opted for a naturally occurring skull instead of making one up. I had seen many animal skull masks but no fish skulls...this one seemed a natural choice.
Under my bed and in my mind, early morning is a strange time to find.
