Peek Into A Magical Universe With These Incredible And Adorable Sculptures

You could say that Evgeny Litvinenko created an entire world. That’s because he has. His creation includes a mystical planet inhabited by highly intelligent life forms. Litvinenko’s world is one with a complex history detailing the rise and fall of civilizations and all manner of incredible creatures.

Litvinenko, who hails from Russia and goes by the moniker “hontor” on deviantArt, draws inspiration from both the natural and fantasy worlds for his creatures. These beasts range from guinea pigs to dragons, and have heritages that include both ancient traditions and Disney films.

Each creature is also embellished with swirling, geometric forms that evoke ancient artwork. In fact, Litvinenko describes a lot of his pieces as “totems,” suggesting a mythical association. The designs are pressed into the wet clay using a patterned “brush” made from silicone, and then embellished further by hand. The creatures are made from colored clay and painted for added detail.

In addition to creating the clay creatures, Litvinenko, in a testament to his limitless imagination, also created the universe they inhabit. You can find this world on his deviantArt page. If you’d like a creature for yourself, you can purchase one on his Etsy shop.
