Meet Finn!

I've been busy this week...

Apologies for the sometimes crappy pictures - until I got to borrow my dad's camera I had to make do with my phone which doesn't like dull indoor lighting lol (For those not in the know, Nigel died on me at the MHL live show and has been sent away to be fixed...and won't be back for about 4 to 6 weeks. :( )

---------------------------------------

This is Finn.

So yeah, this is what I do when I'm pining for my camera and have time off from college work! XD
Finn is fully posable from his neck all the way down to his long and extremely fluffy prehensile tail. He's made from wire and pipecleaners with a super sculpey head and feet and covered in ridiculously soft fur fabric. ^^
I'm not entirely sure what he is to be honest so species name suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :D

Here he is in three stages of construction.

Suffice to say this won't be the last of these I make and it definitely isn't the only time you'll meet Finn. ;)

Apologies for the massive lack of updates recently. Since starting college I've been rushed off my feet with projects that I fell behind on and I'm only now getting back into the swing of things. :)

  1. Ah, this is so cute! What is your DevArt ID?

    He looks like a cross between a llama, a lemur, and a dog... llamurdog? XD

  2. I am in love! XD

    Hmm, fur colour and tail reminded me spontaneously of an anteater, but then he does not have those block-stripes. *g* I will ponder this further.

    *does silly things in front of screen to catch Finn's attention*

  3. I can be found here on dA! :D http://elreniagreenleaf.deviantart.com/

    I took him into college the other day where he was dubbed a 'monkey-horse' *rolls*

    I want to make him a mate at some point, perhaps with white or cream fur - a winter variation if you like!

  4. Ah, OK, I'm already watching you then. :) "Monkey
    horse" works!

  5. I LOVE IT!!!!! I'd love to try making one if you allow me to do so... but i can tell you now it will have nothing on Finn! I have a horse named Flynn (similar enough XD ) and your cute creature actually reminds me of him. XD
