More Malacandra sketches and Making Of

My Earliest sketch of a Sorn, circa 2008. I had paid too much attention to the book's mention of the "long drooping mouth," and none at all to its mention of a nose. Nevertheless, the ghoulish "scream mask" design stayed in my brain, and I tried to incorporate it into the model, originally.

Alternate Pfifltrigg concept, with a more alien head.

Meldilorn, Circa 2014

The Sculpture project

One of the pink giraffes herded by the Sorns. I thought about sculpting one. I tried to give its head some mosquito influence.

 

The Sorn was so tall I had to make a special stretcher to fit him in the oven horizontally.
