Final assignment for art class. Took me forever to take good pictures of it and then get the motivation to put them all together

I chose Mixed Media because there are no limits!!
And I was looking through some of my doodles of dragonfish and anglerfish and they never actually glowed so I wanted to make it GLOW!

Head is carved out of high-density Styrofoam and covered with paper-maché pulp (to help shape his face better and make it harder).
His mouth is full of nails, screws and toothpicks. The esca is some sort of craft wire and the thing at the end is just a thing of syrofoam.
He's mounted to the canvas (which has a wooden support through the middle of it - lucky canvas choice!) with two bolts (Thank you, Jordan! ) and some hot glue.
To make him glow, I used glow-in-the-dark silk-screen ink and painted it on Originally it wasn't very scary because in the dark you just saw a bunch of dots, so I took some of my glow-in-the-dark make-up and spread some on his face and teeth so you can faintly see them (as if the light on the esca was illuminating his face ). He's much scarier now!
Everything was painted with acrylics.

Many references were used. Mostly this one, though: [link]

The photos don't show the glow-in-the-dark perfectly, but you can get the idea.

I named him Ludwig
