I don't know exactly what a gizka is. But I do know that people who play KotOR seem to have a love/hate relationship with these creatures. Seems the two factions currently battling over them are of two radically different opinions: :hungry: and :glomp:.

While I still don't want to eat a gizka, I will happily chop, dice, or pureé the next gizka I see, as I have grown interminably weary of the sight of this thing. It consumed the last two weeks of my time and, for now, anyway, that is more than enough. :giggle:

(It's awesome to be getting back into sculpting, though. ;) :w00t: :party:)

:omg: :wow:

The details Linda...FANTASTIC! It looks just like the gizka in the game! :hug: How are your hands? Mine are sore just looking at this. You wonderful person, you. I have been an admirer of your sculptures for a while and I'm thrilled you are doing them again but this one is, seriously, fabulous. :winner:

It goes without saying, instant :+fav:.

Your comments = :rofl:

Linda, this is absolutely amazing! I can't believe you actually managed to finish it this quickly. Not to mention, you got the likeness of it down to a "T"! I would also pay to have one of these little fellas sitting on my shelf :D You did an amazing job! I love it, love it, love it!

Well, then you seem to have the right idea when it comes to gizka!

Excellent work! This is gorgeous. And, as Tory said, the DETAILS! I knew it would be good from the WIP, but this is just amazing. Congratulations. All of that work. I hope it keeps you in the sculpting mood. :)

Oh look - dinner!

... Okay, yeah, I joke. Best sculpture of a gizka I've ever seen, hands down. Which is not to say that there are many people crazy or dedicated enough to sculp them, but even if they did, this one would kick those wiggly little arses. You're a gem, Linda, you really are. :handshake:

Oh, my daughter's reaction (age 7):

"Oooh! What is that...is that a gizka!? How cute! (eyes get big) Ah, we need to buy one!"

My son (age 4):

"It looks good. It looks like a gremlin..." [referring to Far's gremlin gizkas, hehe]
