Many years ago, I had a crush on a friend who was really into Little Shop of Horrors. As a last minute coming home gift, I tried my hand at sculpting and made her a replica of Audrey II. That one broke so I made her a new one, this time with more detail and less of a rush. Seeing this, another friend commissioned me to do a piranha plant from Super Mario Bros. Though it was meant to be a cute replica of the iconic plant, I had a lot of fun putting in extra detail on the tongue. I wondered what it would have looked like if I wasn’t under a time constraint, so I decided to start a new, fully detailed one with an “it’s done when it’s done” attitude. Six months later, I ended up with this. I followed it up with a much simpler, softer, and brightly colored baby version.
In the end, I was reduced to a sleepless, shaggy-haired zombie, but it was worth it.
