Sep 24 2009But It'll Scare All My Garden Gnomes Away!: Super Mario Piranha Plant Lawn Ornament
DeviantARTist Kalupsa went and made an incredibly detailed (and frightening) Super Mario Piranha Plant lawn ornament out of modeling clay. And I think we can all agree, it's scary as shit. I sure as hell wouldn't water it, if you know what I mean. I'm talking about try to piss on it. NOT a good idea.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a video of how it was made.

DeviantART rules,
I want one of these plants, the only problem is they would probably sell them at hot topic and it would then be LAME like all those tweens with GOTHness

Do you have to bake the clay afterward or something? Like, what happens when it rains?
Still, FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Spectacular job done on this. I would love to comission one, only problem is I'm certain some pudstain would steal it off my lawn fairly quickly.

35. I AM THE KEYMASTER - September 24, 2009 8:13 PM
i think that dog wants to mount the plant, as in - stick his little doggy penis inside of it

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was sitting in a van observing a garden, and when the cops were called he was eventually arrested.
39. ted - September 24, 2009 10:36 PM
that's pretty sweet. Too bad (for me) it's homemade. I'd totally pay money for this thing. It would totally have to go in the backyard or be big enough so the jackasses can't steal it. totally sweet.
40. Ryu - September 24, 2009 11:21 PM
The detail on that thing is friggin fantastic. That guy rocks
41. That uncle who did that bad thing we don't speak about - September 25, 2009 4:22 AM
How much do you want for it?? I'm totally buying that!!!

43. GoSS Jerk now sterilized for your pleasure - September 25, 2009 9:26 AM
ok First of all way too cool for you lot, I will have it and io won't share.
@ FIRSTARDS, just stop before this gets nasty
@ BathCaptain, your page sucks bigtime
@ FAH-Q, (post 23) that was a big hit in the office, i can still hear ripples of laghter all over, thank you!
@ my firewall... drop dead
44. Tidal - September 25, 2009 10:02 AM
47th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <- For all the firstards to realize have lame they are.
I wish they would sell this sculpture for real! I'd buy one for my office!!!
45. NES--still-the-best - September 25, 2009 2:16 PM
I'd get that Piranha Plant indoors sometime soon if I were the creator. Not only due to the risk of some idiot stealing/defacing it, but anything that's red tends to sun fade in little time. Sunlight might screw that sculpture up.
46. graf zeppelin - September 25, 2009 3:18 PM
how... phallic. and now: show me the plant nomnoming the mutt.

Now, if only the original artist could say, make a few in teracotta...you'd need some kind of matte glaze for most of it, but you could use a gloss on the fangs/inside of the mouth.
Acrylic cast would be my next suggestion, then you don't have to worry about weathering, shipping damage, etc. Also it's about 10x lighter than clay, even if aforementioned is hollow, and probably a shitload cheaper.
