Serpent Slayer, frontal view. A Garou warrior battles a serpent. It has wounded him greatly, but now he has it pinned with his spear.
The gravel on the base is real. Serpent Slayer was painted with acrylics. The depth on the fur was created by painting him a flat black, washing him in diluted blue acrylic, and then drybrsuhing him in a light grey with a fan brush.
The blood effects were created by mixing red acrylic with clear glue, to create a viscous looking paint.

Serpent Slayer, side view. A mighty werewolf warrior drivers his spear into a serpentine foe, which writhes around him in its death throes.
Serpent Slayer was sculpted in ApoxieSculpt over a wire and foam armiture. His interal skeleton is made up of coathangers and 20 gauge steel wire. despite this, UPS managed to break him in three places during shipping.
Serpent Slayer stands a full 2 feet tall, 2 feet across on his longest side, 18" on his narrowist.
He was professionally photographed by Dave Baker, http://devbrain.com/photojournal/, who I highly recommend for anyone in the Danbury, CT area who needs artwork photographed.

Serpent Slayer, side view. A werewolf drives his spear home in a giant serpent, but he finds himself caught in its coils.
Each piece of hair in Slayer's Crinos mane was individually hand rolled and then pressed into place.
The fur texture was made with a razor, by making thousands and thousands of tiny incisions.
The scale pattern on the serpent was made by pressing the plastic mesh from an onion bag into the modelling compound and then pulling it slightly out of shape to create diamond shaped scales.

Serpent slayer, detail. Close up of the snake's face and the spear pinning the head.
The snake was sculpted partially as a seperate piece, and then the sections were asembled around the central figure and the spear. The body is shown thrashing up over the pinned head, much like happens with a real snake when it finds itself pinned upside down. it will throw coild up over it's body to try and right itself.
The spear was also crafted as a seperate piece and was then placed in position. The hands were then sculpted over it to provide a better grip.
