Jemini Bones Afterlife Artistry

this guy has been the bane of my existence for 18 months, but after multiple form alterations and a replacement pelt he is finally heading home!

‘I admit the deed! Tear up the planks! Here, here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!’

getting ready to send home this beautiful buck- the original plan was to mount this guy, but while I was skinning him out I found the end of a Muzzy broadhead arrow embedded through his gums and into the roof of his mouth. the bone had begun to grow around it! once I made this discovery it was decided that such a unique (and incredible!) skull should be preserved as is. I can only imagine the pain this great animal lived with and hope his preservation will tell his tale for lifetimes beyond his own.
