The Pakku Rotundus sculpture is, to date, my best known piece of art. Every now and then a new friend will go “Wait… you’re the Pac Man guy?”
I based the eyes on shark eyes and the mouth on a human/snake/bearded dragon hybrid. The skin was a mix of human, reptilian and elephant skin. The colors were based on fruits, mostly banana and grapefruit.
It was rather ghostly without paint.
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.
