Wayne Barlowe's Expedition: Daggerwrist

Collaborating with Author and designer Wayne Barlowe to produce a statue based on Daggerwrist from his iconic 1990's illustrated book EXPEDITION.
We have set ourselves the challenge of creating an extremely accurate three dimensional representation based on the original artwork.

"This is, perhaps, the signature painting and animal from the book, a painting that seems to appeal to the public. It is an intentionally iconic image of what was to become my favorite animal on Darwin IV. I’ve always wanted to go back and do a more in-depth piece of short fiction evoking Jane Goodall’s research, investigating these bloodthirsty animals, their social structure, their cannibalistic tendencies and, more interestingly, their interactions with humans. This was the second painting I did for my EXPEDITION proposal and, with it, I set some important templates for myself. There was to be no hair, no eyes or external ears. And while the biolights don’t appear in the late-afternoon light, they do show up in the second painting of the animal later in the book."
