Taxidermy, Cosplay, and More!

As a being that has observed the passage of time, Frieren has seen villages grow into cities, and kingdoms fall to ruin...but the forest, though it may change, is always a welcoming home.

She has a long golden mane that shimmers like diamonds in the sun, and soft lavender eyes that gleam with hope for a new adventure.

Frieren is with me today at the @worldodditiesexpo on Denver!

Come see her and many other mythic creatures we have available for new journeys and quests! 10-7pm at the National Western Complex!

One bonehead that will be willing to go head to head with anyone is Haxen! With nothing on his mind but a good clash, he is the prince of persistence. His favourite quote is to "take life by the horns,"....and he dares you to take his!

Haxen is with me at the @worldodditiesexpo ! Come grab him while he is on the loose!

The skin itches before it burns and bubbles. In this torment Plagueis scraped free the skin of his neck, as Malgus cracked and twisted bones to emerge into sight. An infection so violent against the natural world as organs squelch into their new mutated formation. Anger seated in every pustule and the gnashing of teeth unlike any other. When this horror finds you, paralysis comes not from venom, but from a toothed hand that pulls you down a malevolent throat.

Plagueis and Malgus is a creepily mutated hybrid from the collaborative minds of @mccracksticks and @zhoncreations merging taxidermy with horror.

This collaboration will be showcased at the @worldodditiesexpo and available to the first person who desires a unique and horrific piece!

Come to the greatest strange and unusual event this summer in Denver! June 6-7th!

She is the soul of the woods and the gentleness of nature. Rinoa has seen all the beauty that the earth has to give, no matter how small the presence may be. Many people may not notice the littlest sprout on the ground or the softest of birdsong...but she will. For it is in the littlest things that bring the greatest joy✨

Come and see her in person this weekend at the World Oddities Expo!

Find me at the National Western Complex from 11am-úpm both days!

[zhoncreations]

Though he may look terrifying, Bross is an obliviously lost puppy. He wanders through pastures trying to find a pack that would accept him, and tries to blend with every new herd he finds...but can never quite fit in. The locals say he bites, but Bross's nature is as soft as the wool on his head.

Would you give him a good place to stay? He promises to be a good boy. Honest! 💚

Bross will be showcased at the @worldodditiesexpo this weekend!

Come and find us at the Zhon Creations booth and see if any mythic creatures would follow you home!

Saturday and Sunday, June 6-7th at the National Western Complex!

Didn't you listen? Don't go in the forest. Especially during the night of a new moon. Therein lies a stallion with a glossy obsidian coat. His eyes shine with the stars of galaxies far beyond our own. Siddion has a mouth full of sharp teeth and crowned with a single saber horn. Should you be lost in the woods, just remember... Sometimes the only way out, is through.

--------

Siddion was made using the skin of a naturally deceased horse that a friend had given me. There was a lot of pre-planning before the old-timer crossed to the afterlife.

The eyes were custom glass-blown spheres with opalescent debris inside that were artistically manipulated into windows to nebulous galaxies by the talented @wizards_lizards !

Inspired by the movie 'Death of a Unicorn'

If you would like to see his magnificence, he will be at the @worldodditiesexpo this weekend! June 6-7th at the National Western Complex.

He will be available to purchase there first!

Come and see the mythical, curious and strange!

[zhoncreations]

A small demon by comparison, Meyrick is an often overlooked shadow. He is always watching from the sidelines as the world unfolds around him. The sun may warm the earth and make the trees dance, but the true magic shows itself when the dark skies begin to shimmer. With vast worlds beyond our own, we take comfort in the night knowing we aren't alone.

Meyrick is available and will be looking for a new home at the World Oddities Expo coming to Denver! June 6-7, come and visit the Zhon Creations booth and take home your very own magical beast!

[zhoncreations]

One too many beers and you find yourself in the middle of a fight! Modelo here is a scarred but battle-proven brute! With a damaged eye and lip scar, you know he was behind several inebriated choices!

Modelo will be at the @worldodditiesexpo June 6-7 at the National Western Complex with many other grim and whimsical characters!

See you there!!

[zhoncreations]

From the depths of something great and sinister, arises Zieraxes! A demon to most, but an ambition to some. He who speaks words that could poison or heal. After all, not all prisons have bars.

-------------

This beast was made using a sustainably harvested goat cape, resin eyes and hand painted jaws on a fully custom sculpt. Three sets of reclaimed pronghorn antelope horns make up his crown. Carefully crafted to be an odd and unusual piece for those who love cryptids of the dark and mysterious!

-------------

Zieraxes will be showing at the @rockymountainpunk Goth Night Market, May 23rd (4pm-9pm) along with many other ✨new✨ demons and creatures.

If you want first look at the Spring herd, stop by! There will be more artists at this art show than ever before as we celebrate a collaboration of talent!

Bring a friend or make it a date night!

💚Enjoy!

A great friend of mine had taken an adventure to the Scottish highlands in 2023, and one of the iconic sheep that he brought back was a Racka. The breed originated in Hungary, however, over time their homelands expanded to the grassy gnolls of eastern Europe. Bred as an all-purpose and hardy sheep, they are excellent wool producers, and loved for their milk and meat. One famous trait the breed has are those near-vertical corkscrew horns.

It was an honour to be able to make that sheep for him, and as it hangs in his house, he remembers the beauty of his magical trip to Scotland every time. ✨

I love learning about new and old sheep breeds, comment below what your favourite kind of sheep is!

(Mine are the "desert dragons" 😉 )

I had completely forgotten to post this guy from 2024.

He is the blonde brother to Phillip, meet Light Peter.

He has found a loving home and has been up to magical shenanigans ever since!

He is a fully posable softmount, capable of many life-like postures!

A beautiful warrior of a Corsican ram done for a friend of mine. This old bruiser definitely spent his time clashing with other hard-headed brutes to earn his badge of resilience, showcased by one gnarled horn.

If anyone would like a sheep or goat made this year, it would be an honour to work with you! Those are the subjects I absolutely love to create!

[zhoncreations]

It's not often I take in a pet commission, but I made this little baby goat softmount for my good friend Ricky just before Christmas! It was a surprise for his little girl who loved this cute little furball with all her heart, and unfortunately , "Baby Blue" passed away from complications. I had the honour of making Christmas the best one yet for that humble Alabama family as a little girl was reunited with her beloved baby!

They don't make forms for goats that small, so all those details were hand carved and sculpted. Truly a one-of-a-kind!

This new year has me busier than ever!

I meant to post this little tyke around the new year and time got away from me.

Hope y'all enjoy!

This weekend only!!!

Get down to the National Western Stock Show and visit the trapper's booth for your very own Wile E. Coyote mount! Done by the artists behind ZhonCreations and special thanks to @paracausal_creations on the creation of the ACME rocket!

Mountains of furs, tails and skulls available, but the show ends this weekend! Get out there! 🚀

[zhoncreations]

This is perhaps one of the biggest and most beautiful bobcats I have had the joy of making.

This particular piece I made as a commission for a guy who is taking it to the stock show. This big boy is available!

If you want a quality traditional taxidermy with all the beauty and composition of a competition piece, you can find this kitty at the Colorado Trappers Association booth at the National Western Complex this week into weekend!

Enjoy! 💚

[zhoncreations]

I wished I had gotten more detailed pics of this guy!

Made on commission for @tk_custompro_flies of his once in a lifetime hunt. This bighorn has a ton of character, including a battle scar on his brow.

I don't always make monsters, and quite enjoy making the stoic animals that make you double-take if they are alive.
