Description
The story of this little statue is simple -
I was visiting my friend. His 5 year old son had some DAS clay, they had made several mushrooms and creatures from it. He asked me that I'd make him Nekobus... It was too complicated, so I just made a little Totoro.

Anyway, I had wanted to try this cheap air hardening children's clay myself and to make something rough and quick out of it. Just for a change, as it usually takes me way too long to finish anything.

There's this nice Werewolf image in Hellboy book. So, as this clay is too soft for sculpting without armature, I made rough thin clay stick/figure one day, and the next evening, when it was dry, sculpted this over it. Took some 4.5 hours. I made some minor tweaks and corrections later, but basically, that was it.

It's not perfect, I know, I know. But it's nice and heavy for 15 cm statuette. And it looks old.
