Wooden kazipok, the Levian small creature!

My first wooden sculpture. I'm so proud of it! It was easier than expected, but needed a lot of time and work (something about a week, and the legs needed the most time). I really enjoyed the carving though, and I really, really didn't expected such a nice first result.

The carving needs your attention, but not too much. Such things as drawing, sculpting take all my attention: I can't think about anything but the process itself, so I get tired quickly even if truly enjoy. While carving I can think about anything else, but the work doesn't let thoughts to run too far.

But! The kazipok got his cutest look thanks to @villiedoom ! (Also he did photos of the final sculpture in the post). I felt so happy when took the painted sculpture in my hands.

Made from linden wood

Sogdian wooden idol from Kuh-i-Surkh (Tajikistan) 5th-8th C. CE

"Head of a Sogdian carved wooden idol, found in a cave at Kuh-i-Surkh, Tajikistan. The idol was originally adorned with clothing, jewelry, a diadem, a sceptre, and an incense burner, and must have been hidden in a cave after the Arab conquest. In its heyday, the idol would have worn a crown, a long robe, boots, and carried a sceptre and a censer. At his feet were gifts donated by worshippers - swords, daggers, jewellery, armour, among other things."

Made this little snake dude today

I am a very poor carver, and used a box of cheap Japanese wood cutting knives to carve this dude from a small piece of oak trim. He is very sillygoofy as you can see and is quite a bit a head of most things. He is modeled after a Lancehead which is a kind of pit viper. Yes I know the sensors on his face are in the wrong place, please do not murder me herpetologists of tumblr. I mean to attach him to a necklace for my girlfriend.
