LaBrea the Vampire Smilodon 2″ Toy Sculpt
I’m working on sculpts from DynoGuard and other “Battle Animal” characters of my own as a side-project to give myself something to free-sculpt on. LaBrea is the first Fossil Ghoul sculpt to be finished in this style.
For LaBrea, I explored some of my recent fascination with 90s-era Playmates sculpting, but more toned down than the likes of Wakey-Wakey (Eggs and Bakey). The asymmetrical drips and the extra sculpted details in her “hair” were fun to do.
Thoughts, reblogs are all welcome.

You were said to be descended of his descendants, though no one who lives was there to see him born or raised. You know of his early life only because he told you stories of his youth. Threaded between the gaps in his recollections, the long pauses as he struggled to feel around for his memories, was his supreme age.

Smilodon Attacking Wild Horses, Roy G. Krenkel
Death clutches at the horse in an emptiness. The horse feels naked here. All that lays below is earth, and all that rests above is sky, and vulnerability flows between the two. It is a lonely place. Though the hooves of its companions thunder nearby, the horse does not hear them, just its own heartbeat and the big cat’s breath and the last desperate drummings of its feet against the dirt.

Jowly smilodon is one of my favorite things.
Except they would drool endlessly. Like neopolitan mastiffs of the cat world.
The other, less extreme saber tooths had bone pockets to hide their fangs in. They would be covered by the lower lip.
Smilodon had no such bone pocket, and they tended to fracture their teeth a lot, so they probably had no protection.
(Here’s a believed Homotherium depicted from life, with a big meaty chin)
This is the most believable example of Smilodon tooth protection I’ve seen, but they would have had to have very close, dry lips, not constantly slobbery mastiff ones:
