Kitbash of Sandy Collora Shark Hunter and MageCraft Lord of the Print Abishai Demon.
MageCraft team has been printing me some large size versions of their creatures.
First attempt at printing 15 inch tall Abishae Demon did not work, but I bought the mis-print torso for bashing.
Utilizing legs and arms from shark hunter with demon torso.
Will have to scratch sculpt feet/claws as shark hunter kit has feet grafted into rock base.
Will have to beef up arms and legs, and reposition legs for more aggressive pose.
Will add a tail from some other kit, not sure which one yet.
Starting with demon torso and arms and legs from shark hunter :
Here are what kits look like if built straight out of the box:
Started by beefing up biceps , and roughed in attaching to torso. Still have to detail.
Cutting out webbing between fingers.
Cut and trimmed down the lower hip portion to make it easier to deal with upper torso.
Also plan to change angle of lower hips , so had to cut it off anyway.

Decided to use lower half of shark hunter torso , as it will make using the SH legs easier.
Will reposition legs different from original shark hunter.
Just quickly attached the SH lower body, lots of blending in and detailing to do.

Hah, that is very true Trevor.
What I enjoy most about this hobby is creating unique one-of-a-kind creatures.
Thank you LOBOREX. I sincerely appreciate your frequent positive feedback!

Roughly attached the shark hunter legs.
I wanted a lunging pose, but I couldn’t get it to look right.
So going with a predator-like crouched threatening pose.
Need to decide if I just sculpt in the feet with current single jointed leg, or go for a double jointed leg?

Beefed up backside to better match beefed up thighs
Extended and cleaned up dread locks
Temporarily cut off front dreadlocks to slim down neck. Still need to add neck tendons.
Started detailing back ridges. Lots of detailing left to do.

Re: Kitbash: Demon Shark Hunter Creature, new pics 2022-07-2
Thanks Trevor !
Still lots of work and detailing left to do.
Put the cut off dreads back on, attach the tail, beef up the abs, detail the beefed up chest, add a tongue,
….And then the dreaded painting phase

Re: Kitbash: Demon Shark Hunter Creature, new pics 2022-07-3
Continuing to work dreads, it is very difficult to get them to taper off evenly
Refining other spikes and details
I am pretty happy with how the modified legs, feet, and tail came out,
Tail is ready to be permanently attached after all the body details are completed.
Thanks for looking, improvement suggestions and comments are welcome .

Reworking dreads (I have developed an even greater respect for the sculptors of predator kits!)
Adding details to legs
Right side before (4 dreads)
Right side now, (3 dreads)
Left side before, front dread angled out front too far
Left side now, made front dread hang more vertically ; cleaned up all dreads
Continuing to Refine back dreads
Adding detail to the lower leg segments that I sculpted to match upper shark hunter kit legs
