Bolthead, one of the Gnomes gang. I imagine these guys would be the size of a small Rat. I thought that giving them a rat like tail and eyes would make them more creepy! #monster #horror #art #blender #zbrush

Creature/character design sculpt from 2018. Some additional sculpting was done by Clare Price on this guy to help me hit a client deadline.

I sculpted this Kemushi caterpillar Kaiju during the summer of 2018. The main influence for this design was the Hickory Horned Devil caterpillar.

I tend not to do fan art generally (nothing against it) but i got so immersed into the world of Spice Frontier that I was inspired to design a creature that could fit in this universe stylistically.
