Artist's Comments

The design for Nilmo was made in art class with a mechanical pencil and manilla paper.

It took all of my senior year in highschool to finish him.

He has papier mache as his core.

Next, to add strength, came cloth and glue.

His horns are made of wire, cloth & glue, and finally a tough outer covering of felt material soaked in glue.

The teeth are air-dry clay with acrylic paint.

The eye-stalks are wire covered in red felt and the eyes themselves are gourds painted with acrylic.

His finished skin is a craft fur that I burned and then tacky-glued to his body with the help of string.

Nihilmortage loosely means "belonging to the void of death" :D

(I'm so proud of him! He turned out just like the concept sketch!):w00t:

Wow. That's awesome, incredibly creative. Reminds me of my own art project, when I (attempted) to make a dragon. I planned on it being maybe as big as my head, it came out half my size (good thing I'm a shorty). Ah, I'm rambling.

Meet me at the sunset carnival
On the dock of hanging dreams
After hours we'll watch the stars
Reflect off the mysteries of the sea

It took a while to make him, but unfortunately he cannot stand up any more. Oh, and all of his top teeth were broken off... aww he's almost :tombstone: or something. Maybe I can fix him up, but I'm not sure I can stop Lou Gering's disease lol.

Thank you :). Yes, I thought about scaring little children with him, but he's so lazy you know?

that's awesome!!

How big is he? YOu can kinda tell in the photograph... but not really.

I love the detail in him. You can tell it took a very long time and lots of passion went into creating this piece.

LOVE the burnt fur!! That is so creative.. and just adds that lil touch to him. The eyes are really neat as well... it's really almost disturbing - but so cool.

Great work!! :)
It's really nice to see something different and unique every now and then.

Thanks alot :D
I went crazy with him, and I especially love how he looks so much like the drawing even through the transition to 3D.

I left the string I used on his feet. I thought that added a nice touch to them.
