Creatures From El

Here are a couple of commission pieces I had made by a local artist Ellen June. She does excellent work at what I think are reasonable prices. Go check out her web site for some samples of stuff she has done and are for sale

One piece she had was a bat type creature. I liked the wings but wanted it in a dragon type form

The next piece I wanted a Unicorn type sculpture but not specifically a Unicorn. I added the extra horn and I wanted the wings to be a specific way. I also wanted a charging stance instead of the typical bucking pose

Ellen does a bunch of snails with flowers or mushrooms growing on the back. I liked the idea but i also wanted a butterfly or humming bird to be taking the nectar from one of the flowers. I also wanted the snail to be slightly turning his head and looking at the buterfly/hummingbird. While sketching wing types for the above Unicorn I sketched up some butterfly wings that I liked

It takes several views to get the idea of this sculpture
