Rakul is part of a series of 3 spirits I made from my own imagination. Most room guardians remain nameless until the owner names them but these particular three have very strong names that came with them. I have yet to decide on a name for their race though. Rakul was the first of the three I created and the one I decided to keep. I'll just call him a late birthday present for myself

Rakul is a very noble spirit with a sodalite heart.  Unlike his more grandiose counterparts, he prefers to interact with things a much more passive way. He slinks at the edges of perception with little indication that he is there aside from the feeling of his presence. He is more of a silent observer, there when you need him to be, but elusive when you call for him. He works in subtle ways to guide and steer you in a certain direction, but will not give you any obvious answers. 


What is a Room Guardian??

Room Guardians are small creatures that protect one's home from negative spirits and energies. These friends can be easily placed on window sills, kitchen shelves, dressers, or wherever to keep watch over the room. Each guardian has a soft faux fur coat and each is individually sculpted from the wire frame to the clay face and hands, so no two are alike. Room Guardians are not plush, they have a solid body but their arms, tails, and necks are bendable and Inside each of their chests is a unique crystal heart to give each one a different energy. These little guys have a lot of character and they love having a home to watch over.

 1. How did you come up with the room guardian concept?
 The idea caught fire when a friend and I were walking through an antique store. On one of the bookshelves sat two stuffed foxes wearing riding clothes. I contemplated buying them because one could convince themselves that their expressionless stares were actually seeing and watching over the room. It was as if they were alive though th

Aaaak when I come here and check my stack theres always soooooo much from you!!! Dont get me wrong though, Im super happy to see your new creations! One of the best things on DA actually. But maaaaaan are you fast! I dont think nothing or no one beat how fast but still insanely well you make your dolls, its something I can only drool and be in awe about.  
Love this dude, when I saw his head in the photo with you I thought it was a faun but now I see its not, this is even better! I very much love the face of this guy, he look so intelligent! And also Im stunned at how you can use the Instamorph, I think that stuff is rather bleeergh, but thats cause I suck at it! XD

Hahaha well I must admit that these ones have been finished for awhile. 
I had a few weeks in there where I didn't post anything while I was making commissions
and stuff, but I try to be quick 

I'm glad you like him though! Instamorph is definitely hard to get the hang of haha. 
It's best to try to keep it in one piece while you work with it

What a beautiful design - it seems very fitting for a spirit-guardian. And sodalite sounds like a nice choice.
