    The SAVAGE SEA MONSTER!

    I'm a big fan of Mad Monsters and I was really inspired by CTVT's extension of the line, so I decided to make my own monsters and "continue" the line myself. This is my latest installment...THE SAVAGE SEA MONSTER!



    He's a Scooby-Doo minifigure head on a smaller FC body with Goodwill store junkbin dinosaur claws.



    I really wanted to use the scaly material for his suit, but it was a NIGHTMARE to work with, so I made his little hang-down-things



    I don't normally post so many pics, but I went to the local Botanical Conservatory and snuck into the fountain to take my pictures. A kindergarten class on a field trip watched the whole thing, but kept there mouths shut.









    I REALLY wanted to take a picture of him actually IN the water, but I figured that would ruin him, so...I got close (nearly falling in myself).

    Thanks for looking!

        I love it! That head is a beautiful find. I really like the picture presentation too, sort of more like footage of a real creature.

          Very Nice.

          If sewing it is a problem, how about fabric gluing the scaly fabric to the jumpsuit?

              Very cool. Looks like a creature that might have show up on Lost In Space.

                Can never have enough monsters! Seeing work like this really fires up the creative engine.

                  I like it! Reminds me of a modern version of "the Horror at party beach"

                        Nice work. The water background looks great with the figure.

                              Very cool! I'm not much of an aquatic monster lover (no offense Sandy) but this one is so "poppin' fresh" I think it would be cool lined up with all the other monsters out there. Especially for the Tomland collectors.
