Throwback Thursday to this piece I made a while back, before I had this Tumblr account!

I made a fan art sculpture of King from The Owl House because he fit so well with the rest of my sculptures. I’m still really proud of how he came out! Just like my other sculptures, I wanted to give him his own designs based on old New England gravestones. It took time to figure out what I thought would fit best, but I combined the patterns from two different stones to get the final result. It’s still my favorite pattern I’ve ever painted!

Below are pictures of the gravestones I referenced for the design.

The first gravestone is from 1728 and is in Middleborough Massachusetts. The second gravestone is from 1752 and is in Kingston Massachusetts.
