My sculpt of Oswald The Lucky Rabbit from the Walter Lantz's short "Hell's Heels". I still need to sculpt the bell for the tail. Going to be making a shadow box frame with some background painted and the rest sculpted. I will share pics of it once i am done. #art #artist #artwork #oswaldtheluckyrabbit #sculpture #disney #oswald #WalterLantz #AWalterLantzCartoon #sculpt #sculptwork
