Creature of the Wood
The Soom MD Amber I ordered ages ago arrived today, so Davlin finally has his tail and his proper hooves. I might need to do a little bit of work on the hooves, but they fit well. He's now basically complete. He still needs his clawed hands, but otherwise he's good - antlers, Saint head, Heliot body, Sard hocks, and Amber hooves and tail. Hybrid, we have one. XD
In celebration, I took him down to the park that's a five-minute walk from my apartment and shot some photos. Lyrics (slightly edited) taken from "Creature of the Wood" and "Creature in the Wood," both sung by Heather Alexander (the latter is a parody of the former, with a female narrative voice rather than a male one).


I am a creature of the wood
Forsaken in my solitude
My song is pleasure and is pain
My song can drive a man insane
So come with me, my pipes I'll play
And we will dance 'til break of day


I've been alive since time began
Not beast, not god, and yet not man
I am the music and the dance
I am the piper who enchants
So loose all ties to mortal kind
My pipes shall play within thy mind

Come unto me, my handsome lad
I see thee bathing there unclad
Those roots that drift against thy thighs
May be a lone man’s hands and eyes
We'll feast on fruit fresh from the vine
And I shall sample the fruits of thine


Sweet love I'll make for thee alone
And show thee sights before unknown
I'll be thy master and thy friend
For I am the gold at rainbow's end
I am the Beast within all men
I am the rhyme past mortal ken

I played my pipes before man's dawn
Seen maidens ripe turn pale and wan
Taught men the art of song and dance
Yet had to part from mortal clans
I must return to silent dance
No fire burns where nature dwells

So take thy rest within the shade
And as the evening hours fade
I'll take thee deeper in the glade
My cloven hooves through heather wade
I'll teach thee things man has forbade
Our souls entwined and unafraid
I shall be thy lover
