Cool monsters every one! You preferred "devil-man" to the more CAS-ian "cambion?" It was the Rob Zombie reference you were after, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteFreaky cool critters you have there! I don't know if I would want to encounter them, except for the fact that it might be fun to see them in action ;)
ReplyDeleteRawhed is a clever idea. Agree with Trey on the Cambion.
