Me Gaeru and his pet Koi

His name is Me Gaeru. He is a one eyed mutated frog that is the last of his kind. He has been thru a lot of shit.loss of family and friends. Being hunted down because he is rare,hence the bullet shells, and just being alone. But then he met a koi fish that was super attached to Me Gaeru's eye that he never leaves his side. So now wherever he goes, he is on the bacl of his pet koi fish and is having the ride of his life. The koi gave him the stregth to live his life again in peace.

So I will like to show the piece I am entering for the upcoming Dragatomi show "Not Vinyl". This sculpt is done with sculpey and a garden Koi fish statue. His name is Me Gaeru. Me meaning "eye" and "Gaeru (Kaeru)" meaning frog in japanese. He is a mutated frog that loves to ride his pet koi fish. This is before I paint him. I will be posting the final painted piece soon. So keep an eye out.
