Exclusive Artist's Renderings of Justin Smeja's Juvenile Bigfoot

In 2011, it was reported that a bear hunter in Northern California shot and killed two Bigfoots. It was an adult and the other one was a juvenile that died in the his arms after being shot. According to the story, the hunter said the Bigfoots appeared sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four legs. They got aggressive with him and moved very close to him. At one point, one got on a ledge above him and seemed to be threatening him. He shot it out of fear it was going to attack him. The young Sasquatch was shot in the neck. The wounded creature fell and rolled down the hillside landing next to the hunter's boots.

The event happened in October 2010 and many have ask Smeja (who held the dying juvenile in his arms) what the juveniles looked it. Commercial illustrator Ernest Boetz wondered the same thing and contacted Smeja directly. Over the course of 9 months, Boetz gathered as much information as he could about the juvenile by listening to Ro's Sierra Kills interview and by listening to Smeja's detailed description. Boetz explained how this all came about in an email to Bigfoot Evidence blog:

Myself and my team research partner, Pat Turner, are Sasquatch researchers. We are both skeptical in our thoughts and approach but we're also advocates for the possibility of these creatures' existence. Our group's name is The Prime Ape Objective.

Upon hearing Justin Smeja's interviews about The Sierra Kills, we were both compelled to believe his story. We listened to every word in Justin's first two call-in interviews as well as the video interview with Ro many, many times. Both Pat and I remarked at how Justin described the appearance of the juveniles, and how nobody had yet done an artists' rendering of them based solely on Justin's words. (The only rendering we saw of a juvenile was a photo-shopped image of a baby gorilla, which looked nothing like what Justin described seeing. -Simply not at all what Justin said he saw.) Pat Turner suggested that we should contact Justin directly and offer our services.

I have been a commercial illustrator for 25 years and I am very experienced in creating artwork for all manner of clients and usages. Pat Turner contacted Justin through Facebook about having me create some drawings and thus began a 9 month -or longer- process of us speaking directly with Justin and making revisions at his request. The drawings attached are the final pieces that Justin personally art-directed, through multiple revisions and conversations. He said that the resemblance is right-on.

We shared the drawings with amateur zoological researcher Jay Cooney of Bizarre Zoology blog and these are his thoughts:

With the first reconstruction looking like a photograph of a juvenile gorilla, this new illustration is compelling in the respect that it exhibits hallmarks of both the adult sasquatch which Justin allegedly killed and known ape species (both human and nonhuman). With its scrawny yet athletic-looking build, disproportionately large head, sharp teeth and nails, and human-like feet, it isn't so hard to understand how Justin could be disgusted by such an animal yet still find it scarily human-like. Although I'm still skeptical regarding Justin's claims, I could empathize with him for feeling that he made a mistake in killing such a human-like animal.

  2. I prefer to think of Smeja as a liar. Because if his story was true then he is a cold blooded killer who deserves what he dishes out

    1. His story is intriguing but it just doesn't add up. It's not like he's making loot but if those things are even part human, he deserves some kind of punishment.

    4. No one would shoot a baby squatch and just leave the find of the century in the woods, especially since a pickup truck was right there. In the story, the pickup's window frame was used to steady the shot.

      The Sierra Kills story is BS from top to bottom.

  5. If you guys listened to the interviews "many times", where did you come up with the story that he shot the juvenile because he felt threatened and was in fear of being attacked? I don't remember EVER hearing him say that. Or is this the new spin so his story sounds a little less cold?

    1. The bear samples were obtained on one of the return trips weeks after the shooting...They hoped the samples were from the remains of one of the bigfoots, but apparently a bear died in the same general area...

  23. The illustrator should have spent more than 2 minutes looking at simian anatomy illustrations before putting these drawings out. Stop trying to be Pixar and draw something useful from an investigative standpoint! Sorry, but I can say this being a career professional illustrator myself. The head is waaaaaaaaaaay too large, even by baby-primate standards. It's ridiculous. I guess this is why he's got "commercial" tacked to the front of "illustrator"

    1. I concur. I have worked as an Illustrator for twenty five years. This person has a poor grasp of anatomy, the reflections in the eyes show an almost amateur skill level. Frankly, it is not good work.

    2. Guys, you're being a bit unfair to the illustrator. The article states he worked with Justin and Justin said "They were spot on"...

    3. If Justin said this is exactly what he saw, could it just be he mistakenly ate some bad shrooms on that trip to the woods that day?

  30. Is Justin trying to say he shot Daffy Duck?? This is the best. ^^^^^^ To be fair, illustrator did say he had been working with Justin for nine MONTHS before he signed off on the final drafts. Meaning, these renderings came from Justin's head. Too funny if you ask me. If you want to know what an actual bigfoot looks like, maybe better 'not' to ask Justin Smeja?

  33. Okay, so an artist's rendering of the make believe juvenile Smegma "supposedly" shot and killed. Okay. Assuming that were true, how then does he mistake it for a bear or for something that he alleges was going to kill him or hurt him?
