• This is one of my newest explorations into non-cast creatures.
• The creature will be shipped with wing supports/padding; you will need to remove the padding and reassemble the dome unit and frame back. I will provide instructions and help.
• The white cell-textured background behind the creature that I designed was designed in Adobe Illustrator and is laser-etched white acrylic.
• The moth dome module can be removed from the round frame.
• I designed the mechanical/organic frame in Adobe Illustrator, laser-cut the parts and have glued and pinned all layers together.
• The creature is adhered with various adhesives, screws, fiberglass cloth, and epoxy sculpting clay. The wings are coated in clear resin.
• The white dots on the frame are the pin-holes used to align the layers. I enjoyed that small detail when it was complete and choose not to color-match those spots to the frame.
• The outer edges of the frame are hand-painted white to complement the white mat and background around the creature.
• There are slight imperfections in round frames — enough to know they were all assembled, painted, and finished by hand.
• Comes with certificate of authenticity.
