A Christmas gift for my dad

Back when I was around 10-12, I made my dad a D&D mini out of purple air dry clay since he's always loved TTRPG's. It was honestly kinda bad, but it was kept on a shelf in the living room for years. And then this year when my mom was doing some cleaning, my cat Mochi decided that the very lightweight sculpture was a perfect cat toy and utterly destroyed it. There was no way to repair it with glue, it was chewed up into little bits

So this year now that I have vastly improved skills compared to a decade ago, I decided to recreate the sculpture and give it a much needed upgrade. This time I used a more cat-proof material, polymer clay reinforced with wire. It took me days to sculpt all those little slime details, but I'm seriously proud of how it turned out
I think I also had perfect timing with this gift since lately my dad has been into painting minis, which is why I left it white since I think he can do a way better job at painting it than I could
