Here we have the elusive North American Pugeon.

Typically found beneath beds, couches, or dressers. Really, under any heavy furniture that is rarely moved. This is because these places provide an abundant source of dust bunnies, their main food source. As such, larger populations can be found in college dorm rooms or other residences with poor upkeep.

This particular Pugeon however recently had its habitat destroyed by an over zealous cleaning spree. He has managed to adapt to a new living environment and diet change. His habits remain nocturnal and has quickly laid territorial claims to the Xbox 360 since the release of GTAIV and the local supply of Red Bull.



************************************************

Made of polymer clay, acrylic paints. Body is tea stained faux fur stuffed with poly fiber fill and weighted with glass beads.

Spent a lot of time learning new things with this guy. First time I've ever sewn a "stuffed animal" body. Might just make more species like this.

The name came from the fact that it looks like a cross between a Chinese Pug(dog) and a Pigeon.

Total time: 5 hours sculpting and painting. 8 to 10 hours figuring out how to sew the body >.<
