Geospiza fortis' Animal Models

They are very neat, and they look all very promising   I also find it interesting, that you work on several models at the same time. That is cool   

You're very busy, for sure

I am very excited to see the Przewalksi's.      

Thank you for your very nice comments. I work on multiple animals at once so I do not become bored with any one particular sculpture. As for my przewalski, I will probably start it when I finish the lion.

Here's my tapir:

Nice tapir, I see it has already a good shape, surely you'll carve it more and reduce mainly trunk and lower legs thickness.

Thank you, Roger, for the tips. I don't think the torso needs carving down, or do you mean 'trunk' as in proboscis? Regardless, I still need to make the legs thinner.
Anyway, here's my camel, although its not nearly Hump Day yet...

I think I need to extend the legs on this one, I don't want to repeat the mistake I made with my reindeer.

I mean proboscis, body is good as it is now. Sorry for my confuse English!

Okay, that makes sense. I like how English is like that, with so many things meaning different things and the same and whatnot. It can be fun sometimes.  

Very nice, a lot of nice unfinished models. I look forward to their completion.     

Camel and tapir look good so far

Wow! Looks so good as always. The tapir bear and camel looks very nice. Interesting to see what they will look ready!

  

Great! I cannot wait to see camel ready! Tapir looks lovely and is in very nice pose! Congrats!

Thank you, Zelvik, 4U, Jonesee, and Ana. This week I finished a few more sculptures, First, here's my Hood Island Tortoise:

Once finished with my tapir, I'll start a bongo. I am also planning on doing an elephant next month. Does anyone have any helpful information about male indian elephant anatomy? I want him to be the centerpiece and finale of this round of my custom models. Thanks.

Ohh I love the bear! Very nice job on all of them!
You're such a artist!

The camel and the other ones are so beautiful too  

Ooooh, bongo!    

Your others look excellent!

Also great paint!!

Exellent tortiose    

Another favourite is the lion   

Yes, I have two favourites  

Congratulation   

I need more pics of your painted fellows   

Great to see the tortoise and the bear painted - they look great!
I'm impressed that you can keep so many projects going at one time.
I'm especially glad to see the spectacled bear. I love bears, and I think that's one species that is under-represented in model form. You did great job with it!

Thank you all.   The bear is actually my least favorite of the bunch... but I guess I can do away with that insecurity now. I made the spectacled bear, as those are the ones I saw in the National Zoo last year. They were really fun to watch, especially with the new cubs. Kikimalou, I should have some pictures on the way.

Thank you   

Alternate pictures as promised:

Sorry it took so long. I've been busy, and not because I was making models
Also, here's my male bison. I think he's too beefy (pun intended). What do you think?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I took the picture as to show the animal's width.
Also, does anyone have good measurements to go off of for the head-body length of an Indian elephant? I'm not quite sure about the sizes I've gotten from various sources.   

Beautiful!

Thank you   

Very nice!

It's so great to see those again. I really like the bear   good job on it!

Hmm I think the bison is too beefy like u said. What if he wants to slim down a little bit?
