Re: Spirit Deer sculpture
I see your point but that said it's amazing to even get it looking like one of the cat family at all !!!

Re: Spirit Deer sculpture
Also the body shape is so good that your brain says cheetah .... that's before you even give it a paint job

Thank you!
Spent a few hours making the face more 'cheetah'. Will add more brow once the sculpt hardens.

I think it's the largeness of the mouth and length of the nose that is making it look more lion than cheetah. They have a short face with small nose. Regardless it's amazing and I love the fluid motion you captured in the body and swoop of the tail!
Can't wait to see it finished.

Re: Spirit Deer sculpture
They look as though they're living creatures which is incredible in itself !!! How do you sculpt incidentally ?? Cutting away , scrapping or just using fingers like you would with plasticine ??

The largness/longness of the face is an issue...I sanded it down as much as I could without ruining the detail. So now it's a cheetah lion hybrid. heehee. That's what I get for not looking at reference enough when sculpting!
Thank you Zinc! I enjoyed getting some real motion in this one. The clay I use starts like a sticky putty (it comes in two parts) and over the course of a few hours it slowly hardens until after about six hours it's rock solid like metal. I use my fingers, paintbrushes, and various tipped metal sculpting tools to work in the detail. The end product can be carved and sanded to add detail and smooth out mistakes.
Added the primer base, will paint tomorrow. I've decided I'm going to due the tear drop on the face (and *maybe* the spots) in bright gold over the faux bronze. Give it an art deco look
