As I’ve said before, I love studying animals and their infinite different visages. Last year I was on a serious mole-rat kick: not just the popular naked mole rats, but all of the other varieties, including the clownish African Mole Rat, also know as the Big-Headed Mole Rat.

I also recently got interested in walrus’, which took me down a tangent of reading about poor Freya, but I digress.

I decided to work on a creature face that would have a hanging, flattened jowl somewhat like a walrus and as it evolved I also noticed rodent characteristics like my beloved mole rats. I settled on very large, low, far apart eyes. This was a fun design and I love the result. I placed the teeth sort of where you’d find them on a mole rat, but not as close together. And, while the teeth aren’t as long as tusks, the shape of the jowls definitely screams Walrus.

This baby will be available as part of my next drop and the adoption fee will be $175
