What Prowls the Wilderness II
Posted: 23. 01. 2021.
I'm working on a small range of sculpts inspired by scary European folk costumes, traditionally appearing around Christmas, New Year's, and at winter's end. I presented the first batch last month, and now here are five more monsters of bell, horn, straw and bone.
Bellman I
Bellman II
The Ooser and Straw Children
The Bellmen were inspired by fierce-looking Croatian carnival bell ringer costumes. The horned armless thing is the Dorset Ooser, an English folkloric figure/costume of debatable origins. The two little Straw Children came from straw costumes widespread accross Europe.
If you want a custom miniature or piece of scenery made for you, drop me an email - you can find it in the bottom of the page, together with the Gardens of Hecate Facebook, Instagram and RSS links.

I like the Straw Children especially, adorable and a bit creepy at the same time.
Thank you potsiat!
I can confirm that your sculpts paint up really well. I am REALLY looking forward to getting my hands on these!
This weekend I painted three of your Custodian Wraiths. Very excited to get more of your sculpts, I hope there will be these and others from the previous Wilderness blog post maybe?
@Wonky Dog - Thank you! Glad to hear they paint up well.
@neuzd - Yes, all the wilderness sculpts, plus one that hasn’t been revealed yet.
Hello! Are they gonna be on sale? Where can we buy them?
