Description My Piranha Plant sculpture's head.

In creating it, I based my design on this question: Had it been based on a real living plant, what would it look like?

I used clay, a strengthened wire skeleton and a special mix of acrylics to get the right appearance of flesh (particularly the inside of the mouth).

That is freaky how the textures match up as well and everything. Like it looks terrifying in my opinion. Well done!

Kalapusa, if they make a new live-action Mario movie, they need to hire you for the creature shop. You would definitely get at least a nomination for special effects. You've made the piranha plant quite scary here.

It looks so real with allΒ the wetness in it's mouth and stuff.

You really need to get into designing... this would look great in some sort of Alton Towers Mario ride lol (if they make one...)
