"The word Maata in India means mother. I decided to base my character on the hypocrisy and the way we look at and treat animals.

My character depicts a Mother who is a human as well as a cow. I have found that including human traits and making the art more realistic makes people relate to it more."

This look is a original design by me, during the pandemic I turned myself into Santa by creating the nose prosthetic sculpting and making it at home in my kitchen! The design was to show Santa when he was younger before he  discovered Christmas and became the jolly man we know and love today (I also went on to do a tooth fairy before she was good makeup look too) I used only a minor prosthetic and a moustache to show that you can create a character from big ideas with simple things.

This is my Character design based of one of my favourite book series Skullduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy, the book has soldiers called cleavers and they are never described to what they look like under their helmets just that they are uniform, don’t talk and do as their told. This look is based on The white cleaver who is one of the cleaver soldiers who was resurrected. I sculpted and made the cheek and mouth pieces and applied the makeup look, this was also my first time applying a bald cap! 

In the indigenous Guaraní culture of northern Argentina, sorcerers were said to change forms by wearing jaguar skins, and only after stealing these skins it was possible to overcome them.

This Is my character design for one of the royal monkey guards in Wizard of Oz. I Decided to create an orangutang because of the Animals smarts and nature I thought they would be perfect for the leader of the guard. I designed, sculpted and made the pieces as well as applying the final look, the costume was also made by me! This is one of may favourites creatures I have created and I hope you like it too!
