Paranoid Carrot Has Second Thoughts

My Piranha Plant, its baby and a few friends.

 

In creating the mother, I based my design on this question: Had it been based on a real living plant, what would it look like?

 

For the baby, I followed the exact same steps except I applied softer textures, brighter colors and a teething mouth.

 

I used clay, a strengthened wire skeleton and a special mix of acrylics to get the right appearance of flesh (particularly the inside of the mouth).
