The New Currency, Part 2

This is the second set of clay coins.


This one has Lisa Simpson's face. It says "See You Real Soon Kids," which was Krusty the Clown's epitaph in "Bart the Fink," in which Krusty fakes his own death to avoid being prosecuted for tax evasion.




This one has the face of Tessek, Jabba the Hutt's Quarren accountant. It says, "Cthulhu Fhtagn," which means "Smile! Cthulhu loves you!" (or "Cthulhu Dreams," depending on which translation of The Necronomicon you read.)





This one has a face from a creepy Christmas decoration. It says, "War is Sexy. War is Fun." This comes from the Dead Kennedys song "Rambozo the Clown."




This one has a Wampa face and says "Jesus Was a Terrorist," from the Jello Biafra song of the same name.




This one was created to try out a new eyeball mold.

Halloween Atavisms

Sometimes clay leftovers are too interesting to dump in the slip bucket.

If Wererats Have Gods

I'm not sure if wererats have gods to worship, but if they did, I think this would be a faithful representation.




I often worry about anatomical anomalies. The wererat idol should probably be sitting ON its fleshy humanoid buttocks, but then they wouldn't be as visible.

Treif Chamsa

This is the Treif Chamsa. Treif means non-kosher food. This is a commissioned piece for my brother's friend Rachel, for whom this lobster (or at least the boiled red version of it) apparently serves as a totem animal.

Crocodile #10

I made one last small crocodile because tomorrow's game requires two.

Finally, here are all ten Neverwinter sewer crocodiles together.

Night of the Doll Atavisms

Today I bought some doll molds at a craft store. I tried them out at the studio this evening.

Plaguechanged Ooze

The Spellplague affects everyone: human beings, dogs, the undead, dragons, even those enormous, ravenous sacks of protoplasm that crawl up from the sewers from time to time.

This is a plaguechanged ooze for a game of D&D Encounters. You can tell it's plaguechanged because of the blue streaks. I've since learned that at some point in the game (when it loses half its hit points), it undergoes cell division, so I've already started on two other oozes.

Chamsa 42

The answer to the great question.

The New Currency

I noticed that some of my other small clay objects looked like coins, so I decided to make some that were intentionally coins. The original idea was to put currency amounts on them, hence the 10€ inscription on this one, but I found that writing non sequiturs was more satisfying. The face on this one is sampled from Sara's sculpture.




That's Pee-Wee Herman's face and it says "PENIS." No offense to Paul Reubens. I think he's a genius.





This one uses a skull face from a Halloween decoration and the inscription says "In God We Thrust."




This coin uses the Cy-Gor face again and it says "I Ain't Evolved From No Monkey."

Crocodiles Two Through Nine

These are the rest of the hungry sewer crocodiles for The Lost Crown of Neverwinter.

Crocodile 3

Crocodile 4

Crocodile 5

Crocodile 6

Crocodile 7

Crocodile 8

Crocodile 9
Unfortunately, this, the smallest and least detailed of the crocodiles, is the only one the comes close to being to scale for the game.

Wererats, Part 3

These are the last three wererats of the Dead Rats gang for Lost Crown of Neverwinter.

This one doesn't look anything like a rat.  I think he's a deformed werebadger of some kind.

Last of the Twig Blights

I tried to recreate the lost/stolen twig blight miniature, but several of the tendrils broke.  

Incense Burners

This is the Stingray Incense Burner.

This is the Homoeroticism Incense Burner, since we all have a secret desire to fuck another man's T4.
