Sculpture
Mixed Media: Some |
I started off with creating a drawing of a skeleton the desired size of the sculpture. After creating that drawing I used it to make a wire base matching the bone structure. Then I added foil to bulk up my creation before adding clay to limit the heaviness of the clay. Upon having the foil added i covered it in clay and added until I had the desired portions. After I smoothed out the clay and baked it to hold it in place. Once baked i sculpted the feathers that cover its body. Each and every feather was make individually crafted and textured before I added them onto the sculpture. After the sculpture was covered in feathers I baked the sculpture to secure it and went over with paint to achieve the color i desired. Once i completed the sculpture I attached her to a wooden board before creating the terrain around the creature. I used blue sand to create the dirt and cut pink fluffy fake plants into pieces to create the pink grass. Once I glued these in place I added rocks that I had dug up myself for this piece and tumbled them to get a smooth look. I also added shells that I had picked up while on vacation for variation. Then i sculpted a bug out of clay to add to the scene. Once sculptured I baked it and painted it before glueing it in place.

The Mircea Fox
This fox like creature is about the size of a big house cat and is covered in vibrant feathers. It has six amber eyes and four horns atop its head with a fan of feathers adorning its tail. This creature is mostly passive but is cautious and timid. It mostly feeds on the vibrant berries that grow throughout the enchanted forest. These berries are bright colors of green, yellow, and blue. This berry is highly toxic and poisonous to most creatures however the Mircea Fox has a high tolerance for toxins and prefer this as its main source of food. The berries vubrant colors are what affects the pigments seen in the fox. This creature relies on this fruit to keep them healthy and colorful. They use their colorful feathers to show off to males. The fox eats about eight berries every two days. If the fox does not consume enough berries their colors begin to fade and they grow more prone to exhaustion and weakened senses. Since the berry is so important for their health they evolved to absorb the juice into their fangs to make the effects last longer. This makes their bites very venomous to other creatures.
While the berries are very resilient and can often grow in any conditions it is not their ownly source of food.
They will also hunt water Beatles. Water Beatles are creatures that are about half the size of the fox and contain a semi clear bottom that has liquid stored within it. This creature had one eye which causes it to have poor perception but it makes up for it in its intense speed. These creatures can be quite hard to catch but thanks to the foxes agile mobility and six eyes allowing them to easily keep track of the bettle movement they are able to easily hunt these creatures.
Not much is know about the water Beatles because of their swift nature but it is theorized that the water they store is their source of food. These insects will absorb water from caves and will store it into their pouches. Once stored they will begin the process of separating the minerals from the water. These insects feed off of the minerals found in the water they absorb. They prefer cave water due to its high mineral content. These insects are incredibly nutriouses due to their diet. The fox that consumes them is unique in its tendency to not drink water. This fox creature instead gets its hydration from the berries it consumes and the water battles it hunts. The fox has two front fangs it uses to help extract the juice from the berries and tear into the water Beatles rich mineral veins insuring nothing goes to waste.
These creatures also have the unique ability to mimic the sounds it hears. These creature will feel the vibrations of the sound in its horns. When it mimics the sound it will use its horns by sending vibrations through them to help it adjust its frequency and tone. This comes especially in handy when they feel threatened. They will try to stay hidden and will mimic the noise of a much larger predator when faced with danger. If the creatures can not hide they will puff up their feathers and wave their tail with the fan of feathers above its head to give it a bigger appearance much like a cat. It will growl in a deep tone and mimic other creatures as it stops at the predator. They do this to appear confident and intimidating as they try to confuse and surprise their enemy.
They tend to be solitary creatures but will form packs when a predator enters their territory and makes the foxes feel threatened or when food is scarce. They will form hunting packs to take down much larger creatures than they would otherwise be able to attack. When in a pack they can take down creatures up to four times their size. With their combined numbers and their venom they are a dangerous predator. They are also smart and will herd the creature using fierce mimicked growls and snarls to make the creature panicked. When in a pack they are much like coyotes. When they face a dangerous predator in their territory they will hide within the foliage or the trees and echo out multiple cries of mimicked beasts. The many foxes mimicking these sounds together creates a frightening sympathy of noise. This will often startle the predator as they will not be able to view what is causing this noise and will leave the forest. These creatures are naturally curious and playful but is also intelligent.
Because these creatures ingest toxic berries their saliva contains small amounts of toxins but the majority of the toxins in the berry are absorbed into the teeth. the saliva is relatively harmless on its own. however when the creature bites into something the toxic minerals in their teeth mixed with their saliva being exposed to blood causes it becomes highly toxic. Their saliva is purple like the purple juice of the berries they eat. They also have blue mouths. They eat bugs, fish, and berries. Fish are their favorite food however due to the water being so hazardous they rarely get to eat them. Sometimes during mating rituals they will offer up fish to get the attention of a male. During mating rituals the female will fluff its feathers dance much like the birds of paradise. The males also often have more horns to help the be more vocal as well. These males horns are also often bigger than the females. The males will also stay with the female and aid in raising the pups. After the pups are old enough to be on their own the male will normally leave however on rare cases the male will stay with their mate. If they grow especially affectionate with their mate they will stay with them for life however this is a rare occurrence.
The grass is a nice pink, and the dirt is a dark blue. Water is green. The sky is a reddish pink. It has four moons. At night the sky turns a deep orange.
The water beatle normally lives in caves and feeds on the water and moisture in them. Due to them feeding on the water from the caves they are high in minerals and nutrients. When a fog passes by the forest they will often leave their caves drawn by the moisture in the air. This makes them easier to hunt as the fox has adapted to seeing well in the fog as well as being incredibly quiet and quick in order to catch their prey.
the males is that they have pink and blue feathers to blend in to the soil and grass. They also have more horns for better vocation. They are a bit smaller than the females as well. They are good hunters because of their small and agile bodies. They use their vocation to lure in prey or to scare off predators. They are typically more timid than the females. Females are much more bold and territorial than the males but they are great for defense and protection due to their size. Their lesser amount of horns make it harder for them to make the soft sound of a prey animal this makes the males the superior hunters. This is why the females have the coloration of the fruit as they feed on it more often than the males. The females also have a much stronger venom than the males. Since the males hunt more they adapted to have better camouflage and due to them not eating the fruit as often as the females they are not affected by the fruits pigment. Even though males are the better hunter due to the females size and venomous fangs they are great at protecting and fights. Due to this the females are often the ones trying to court the males. The females are often the ones protecting the pups and territory while the males are primarily the ones gathering food and hunting.
The males dont have the feathers on their forearms like the females. The females have the feathers as a way to look bigger and more intimidating. These feathers also help in impressing the males
The foxes also have a similar flexibility to cats as well as retracting claws. Due to this they can climb trees and they often like to climb to get a wider range of view. They also adapted to use their tails for balance. Due to their similar builds as cats they can also always land on their feet
