Don't let that stop you Sickie.....the celluclay is great to work with...much, much easier that normal paper mache. It really makes molding in fine details possible. It is also very reasonably priced, so if you don't like what youv'e made you aren't out much.....get a styrofoam wig head and get those hands dirty.....its alot of fun!
this guy has a whole storyline that goes with him....the short version summary is that he lives under the roots of a fallen tree deep in the wet, dirty hole. He lurks in the night, roaming around like a street bum, collecting random pieces of litter to furnish his den. He is most definitely a very cunning hunter, and likes fresh raw meat.....
The bucket is essential to this character....goes back to when I was a kid there was a bum known as the bucketman....insane dude that roamed around swearing at nothing but his own craziness....carried 2 buckets everywhere. Just a creepy figure from my past that I am using for inspiration. This guy, though, is mean to the core....and will have a different use for his buckets.
why thank you octoberist.....he was partly inspired by a catfish, so your comment makes me feel pretty good.
