The scannable Beaver sculptures took about 10 weeks for the two. That included a half dozen facial expressions for each.
I always wanted to do special effects of some kind since age 13 so I guess I never stopped wanting to. I just kept going and taught myself what ever I could.
Have a look at my website if you want to see other stuff.

If you fancy a go at learning to sculpt creatures at my workshop, have a look at the text competition on the special effects supplies page...but I'll warn you, as a teacher I've brought more than one young upstart to tears! Especially when they are better than me! LOL
