Eusmilus Sicarius by WormsandBones

Eusmilus Sicarius

WormsandBones

Probably our most labour intensive sculpt to date, this toothy fellow is Eusmilus Sicarius. He is heavily researched in an attempt to portray his anatomy as realistically as possible.

Each eusmilus is roughly 16" long, and about 6" high standing on all fours. They have excellent balance going on though, and can stand on their hinds or their forefeet without too much trouble. Armatured from teeth to tail for realistic poseability, he can sit, stand, lie down, pounce, curl up and strike with his enormous boney forepaws. Eusmilus' skull and feet are cast resin from our original sculpts, based on a number of partial skeletons of eusmilus with a few gaps filled in by different nimravid skeletons when the eusmilus fossils we needed weren't available.
We've done these guys in a variety of bone colours by now, including a deep walnut 'tar pit' shade I'm particular to.

    :D I am so glad I checked out your shop last night and grabbed the darker version of this guy! I love the personality the skull faced ones have. Next I need a hyena one once your making them or doing customs again. Though, a painted dog could be awesome too - think of the ears! haha

      Thank you! I have sorta a soft spot for these guys, if only because we spent so much goddamned time squinting at terrible photos of bones to get everything in the right spot. Oh my god, I can't imagine having to find a fur for a painted dog... and the airbrushing otherwise... twitch
      I'd really like to do a jack rabbit actually, but don't know if there will be time for that before anime north. Con season, who needs sleep? :3

        haha yeah, sadly it is hard to find reference for skulls for extinct species :C But think of the result! haha Though, a jack rabbit would be awesome :D Con season is best and worst. Love it, but the stress is awful :C
