Description Cockatrice is one of my favorite fantasy creatures in legends and folklore, they are so cute.

The head is not so exact as a real rooster, and the body proportion is a little messed up, too. But still feel proud of it. ^^

Yeah Cockatrice is more like a little dragon that has a rooster head.
I prefer that design, too!

Awesome work! I always preferred this interpretation of the basilisk to the one that that just looks like a giant snake; it's a much more interesting design.

I prefer the rooster-serpent appearance, too~
The legend said that Basilisks are more like serpents or lizards with a comb on the head,
and Cockatrices are the combination of serpent and rooster. 0_o

Very nice portrayal.
Nice spurs, I wish my roosters could grow them nice and even like that XD
(Mine look like fiddler crabs, with one long spur and one blunt)

You have real roosters?
Wow that's fantastic!
I think they still could walk or run normally even have the spurs like that?

MollyDollies In reply to seraphpiyo [2011-10-19 14:28:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have around 40 chickens total.

The roosters get around fine, they just have goofy spurs

Wow they are a huge flock.

About average for an egg selling flock, actually. Each hen only lays every other day so it's not as much as it sounds like.

Thse feathers on tail look great <3 And the feet too~

If I had the skill and nerves I'd sculpt Kyouchou Anzu myself right away! D: TEACH ME MASTAH!

Why not just have a try? It would be fun.

Hmm, what does "Mastah" mean? 0_o
A word from LOTR?

Pffffffft~

Btw, I might have asked this earlier, but what deco clay you use for your works? Cernit?

seraphpiyo In reply to Kassu91 [2011-10-22 10:02:27 +0000 UTC]



All the clay is from local brands in Taiwan,
which they often called "super light clay" and mostly is for kindergarten children.
