Description
So heres my first real piece of fan art for a book series that doesnt get enough love now days, Edgar Rice Burroughs "John Carter Of Mars" Series.Over the past week Ive been listening to the audio book for the first story "A Princess Of Mars" And this character is by far one of my favs, Carters faithful companion, The Calot named Woola.
The Original description is thus "A calot stands at about the size of a Shetland pony on ten short, splayed legs. Its head is described as frog-like, with large eyes, only with three rows of sharp teeth inside." I took a few artistic liberties with he design as you can see, But Im quite happy with how he turned out.
Calots were made by ERB

Jazon, I'm a long-time fan of ERB's Barsoom series - and I love your interpretation of the calot! Woola is one of my favorite characters from the books.
I was looking for a good model of a calot for one of my paper mache sculptures [link] - and I'd like to use yours!
Regards,
Lyman

Yes alot of artists, I know myself and my girlfriend included, prefer a comment to a fav, A fav takes a simple click of a button, a comment takes a bit of thought and time. So I try to reply to every comment i get, excluding of course, idiots XD
