"This horrific thing is my NaMoPaiMo project for this yr. It's a good thing I don't dream much anymore because it truly is a thing of nightmares. Jennifer Bray Buxton said that whatever we painted this yr for the event had to be ENTIRELY horse parts. Not some crab/fish/mythical monster. So this beast is made entirely of ONE mold in two sizes, and combined in the most horrible Ai inspired trash heap.
There are 8 Croi in this one piece.
Keeping in the spirit of this yr, which I've decided is going to be me taking art less seriously in order to break past my perfectionism driven Artist block, I just made the most absurd pointless thing I could. Thinking about painting it is already making my eyes bleed. No I'm not doing it a realistic color. The plan is of some sort probably some quality horrific pattern. Idk."
"It is a Croi-bomination. A Croi-tastrophe if you will. A punishment of my own making."
"First coat of primer and she named herself as I barely got the first pass on her. All I could hear in my head was RELEASE THE CROIKEN!!"
"This piece was created because I needed something to practice being imperfect at and was exactly what I needed. Something that was ridiculous enough that the more imperfect it was the better it was. It's so easy to get stuck in your head trying to plan your way through a piece. But ultimately you can't! There are always hiccups or maybe the piece speaks up and tells you your plans are not for them. "

"Croiken" has been painted faux antique copper with eerie glow-in-the-dark eyes. There is a slight green reflection added for day-glow effect on each place the eyes would reflect. Each and every hoof has been sealed with matte sealer for durability (as well as a few other contact points).
