Description
Snagasaurus Pup, 2008
7ish x 6ish x 5ish in
Polymer clay; Wooden base
"Found native in North America, Europe and Asia during the middle to late Jurassic period, Snag was an omnivore - not smart enough to know what he was eating so he tended to eat everything.
Snag is one of the only dinosaurs - probably through blind stumbling and wandering off from the group - to travel from Siberia to Alaska across the Bering land bridge.
Most Snags became extinct, the Alaskan variety evolved into the American Eskimo dog which explains their small brains and vacant stares."
-----------------------------
The idea here is that it's a name my father calls his dog... so I was combining a t-rex and an american eskimo. I definitely got the vacant stare down... I wanted to open his mouth a bit and have the tongue hanging out but it's not really an action the dog has and there's the slightest cocking of the head and the curled tail.
I decided against the fur aspect... left the texturing on the skin to be either scale-like or fur-like mattering how you look at it.
Definitely for next time though, I'll cook the teeth and attach them. I haven't bashed into something so much in all my life. Every couple of minutes I had to straighten the fangs back out.... it was unbelievable!!
