A representative of the Wristmons family is the Smilodon watch, which was given the features of Smilodon, or sabre-toothed tiger, a prehistoric predator that disappeared long ago.
The authenticity of this model is concentrated in the unusual day-of-the-week indicator, which Chaykin has placed in the «mouth» of the Smilodon.
Pastel strokes on the pencil outlines present the color palette of the Wristmon. The combination of the pencil sketch on the right and the detailed colored sketch on the left shows the evolution of the master's thought as he works on his new idea.
It's important to note that the sketch captures Chaykin's original idea of designing the lower lugs as tiger paws. Later it was abandoned and this detail was implemented in the classic style.
