Shiny Umbreon Sculpt

I needed a slight break from making dragons, so I decided, what the hey, why not make a shiny Umbreon? I've been a Pokémon nerd freak since I was a kid, so it just made sense. Plus, Umbreon's nice since it's mainly black, so I only had to work with one color of clay. Okay, two, if you count the little blips of yellow I used for the eyes. The rest of the details - all the blue circles and bands and the pupils in the eyes - were all painted on afterwards.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The pose could have been a little better executed - I was going for something like a crouch, like he's preparing to pounce or leap forward, but I'm not sure if that really got conveyed. Eh, whatever. I like it overall, so I won't complain too much.

Hope y'all like it, too! Lemme know what you think!
