God of Gelatin -- Work in Progress

God of Gelatin, Regency era and primal. Delicious treats!
(Click images to enlarge.)
Added some gelatin-containing foods to the sketch (counter-clockwise from the far left): Trifle, animal hide glue in a pot, licorice allsorts, gumdrops, jelly beans, and marshmallows. I'm hoping to stick a glorious giant aspic in the back, full of hard boiled eggs and bits of meat. 

And I still have to work in the nymph/fairy/pixie Isinglass. Isinglass is the swim bladders of fish, also used to make gelatin. I kinda think Isinglass is a lovely name for a mystical creature!

Here's my initial post on this sketch, with more details.

  3. Heh! No, it's not Joseph Smith. Although after google image searching him, I can kinda see a resemblance! Kinda funny. I didn't really have anyone in mind when I was drawing him, but I think he turned out looking a bit like Seth Meyer :P.
