Commission and quite possibly my most detailed regular fig yet. Based of the classic British comedy 'Life of Brian', 'Bwian' is my first full 360 painted figure (excluding sides of torso. Wanted to sculpt his hair, but the heat at the moment made the clay too dry to work with, so painted instead. Seems I'm slowely incorperating my 'artwork series' style of painting into regular figs (many different shades making up one part). Hair is prime example of this, but so is the torso basis, which uses very light tan and lots of little white strokes to create a fabric look. All in all pretty cool figure and sad to see it go, but hey, thats why I made it lol.
Also I have 10 legolas heads to work with, so the face styles in upcoming figs, may look fairly similar.
Might do some more 'Python', i.e King Arthur, but I know some others are currently working on those, so he'l be at the bottom of my list.
What do you think?/ Have you seen the film?

Python bivittatus
A young adult found on the crawl after a heavy thunderstorm in the Florida Everglades. At only a two to three years of age, pythons can exceed 6-7 feet in length and are as large as any native snake species as found within the region. Their growth rate and generalist diet makes them quickly able to outcompete native species and not get bothered by many predators. This snake was removed from the national park and turned into scientists with USGS where it will be humanely euthanized and necropsied.
Also known as Brongersma's short-tailed python, or the Red Short-tailed Python
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
Length: 2.7-2.8 ft.
Toxicity: Non-venomous but quite bad bites (be careful).
The specific name, brongersmai, is in honor of Dutch herpetologist Leo Brongersma. This species is a sought after among exotic pet keepers, hence its location is always kept secret by scientists and herpers.
Behavior: P. brongersmai is a primarily crepuscular species – usually active around dawn and dusk.
Size/Length: Hatchlings of P. brongersmai range from 25–43 cm (10–17 in) in total length (including tail). Adult males typically range from 91–152 cm (36–60 in) in total length, and females between 120–180 cm (48–72 in) although a few have been recorded at 240 cm (96 in).
Reproduction: These snakes generally look overweight due to their robust structure. and reproduce biennially, producing 12 to 16 eggs (Shine et al. 1999). The species feeds on human rodents in oil palm plantations (Shine et al. 1999).

Carpet Pythons are a common sight across northern and eastern Australia, with many households unknowingly having residents pythons in their roof - handy to keep rats away!
This large python was photographed in ambush position on a log in monsoonal forest in Darwin.
smooth feels wonderful to the touch.
Not slimey as some people think.
Beautiful patterns.
Beautiful colors.
the front end of the Python was attached to my arm.
I think he was about five ft long so only a little one.
Southern African rock python.
German: Südliche Felsenpython.
The approx. 2m (2.2 yd.) long constrictor is just as frightened as the two Zulu men.
Rock pythons can grow up to 5m (5.5 yd.) long. Habitat Southern Africa.

Morelia viridis, commonly known as the green tree python, or as it is known in the herpetoculture hobby, chondro is a species of python found in New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia
I'm not a huge fan of snakes but the more I see them at the zoo and learn about them the less intimidating they become.
They are usually asleep or curled under something when I visit but I was lucky to see this huge olive python slithering around on a branch.
The area where the snakes are is also a hard to photograph area and I have never been happy with any of my shots in this area but this one I am happy with.
One of the least discussed repaints, but a surprisingly nice looking figure, albeit overpriced and pretty useless.
Simalia amethystina
This fellow is in ambush mode, waiting patiently alongside a gully for passing prey.
This image was taken in the Iron Range, individuals in this area seem to exhibit less bold patterning than those found further south in the Wet Tropics of Queensland.
Wikipedia: The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is a species of snake in the family Pythonidae. The species is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is the world's longest snake and listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution. In several range countries, it is hunted for its skin, for use in traditional medicine, and for sale as a pet. It is an excellent swimmer, has been reported far out at sea and has colonized many small islands within its range. It is among the three heaviest snakes. Like all pythons, it is a non-venomous constrictor. Adult people have been killed (and in at least two reported cases, eaten) by reticulated pythons.
This particular python was killed by my friend who lives a few blocks away from me. He raises prize chickens and some of them went missing. He caught it raiding the chicken coop one night. It was 3.1 meters (10' 2") long.

The Dead Parrot Sketch
Monty Python
The Pet Shoppe
A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
C: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
O: We're closin' for lunch.
C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
O: There, he moved!
C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
O: I never!!
C: Yes, you did!
O: I never, never did anything...
C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
C: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
C: STUNNED?!?
O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
O: No no! 'E's pining!
C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
O: I got a slug.
(pause)
C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
O: Nnnnot really.
C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Thanks for viewing and favein.

Morelia spilota bredli
Also known as Bredl's python, this is a very beautiful, rarely seen species that inhabits the central ranges of Australia. Finding this species was one of two special highlights amongst a host of amazing wildlife encounters I was lucky enough to have this passing wet season.
were named "carpet pythons" because their patterns were thought to resemble oriental rugs. "Shaggy" is a jungle carpet python (Morelia spilotes cheynei). Carpet pythons are native to Australia. Photo by Frank.
