And now an episode of TERRY'S CREATIONS!!! *cue theme music*

The Butcher

Yes he is finally done! it's taken me something like 7-8 months to freaking finish (mainly cause I had a massive creative block). 

I made his knife out of a scalpel blade and his little bucket is a lid of a pump bottle. He also features tiny hand sewn pants and apron, shiny boots and a tiny hand rolled Cuban cigar.

That is my head btw, it runs around on its own little legs, it's hard to catch when it detaches from my body, I have to beat it regularly to make it stay. behind my head is my bedroom shooting range... yes that's a feature of my bedroom.
