Been juggling a number of different concepts sculpts the past couple of weeks which lead to having 3-4 different projects in different stages of completion. The best way to deal with this was to start another sculpt and just ignore everything else for a little while. Either way, this was fun to put together and it feels closer to the aesthete which feels familiar and 'homely' I guess.

As mentioned, I have this ambitious personal project going on in the back of my mind, which I'm using as a sort of foundation to experiment with forms and types. When making this, I was considering a hybridic type of creature/inhabitant where the 'armor' is a more organic extension of the character itself.
