Recyclops process

Birth of the Recyclops

Preliminary stages of sculpting my "Recyclops" protagonist character. He's a teenage cyclops octopus who believes his alter ego is that of a super hero who commands the forces of good in the war against garbage. He spends his spare time cleaning up garbage and re-purposing found objects in the name of environmentalism.

Some innocent looking kid

These are studies for one of my process book characters, he's "lost innocence" cause he never really seems to find where he is going, therefore he gets lost alot.
