This is actually an adorable ceramic figure created by one of the art teachers at school. ( I love her work and have a whole collection of pieces.)
I gave the figure a slight distortion in Picnik and then added some seasonal special effects. So now, instead of being cute and whimiscal, the creature is threatening and, dare I say? spooky.
funny how cute stuff can be so scary after a little editing! i did the same thing today and the result is very similar! gotta love those editing tools!
