My inspiration behind this guy was play-doh - and those sets where you pushed the play-doh through stencils and such to make hair/shapes. It ended up kind of evil/creepy looking, but I ended up rather liking it!
I do find it rather creepy, lol. It took me forever to figure out it was Play-doh. My first thought was that it was based off a creepy Rainbow Brite character..
Mmm, it's a tough one because no toys were actually shaped anything like a kora! I just knew I had to have a play-doh nostalgic pet, and this one was so weird looking it seemed to fit the bill!
No emotion? Fidele, bring my Kora's back! - Just kidding!
Amazing ^^
