Geospiza fortis' Animal Models

Thanks Widukind and A-J! I should really repaint it, though, I'll see about doing it later.

I've been texturing my elephant- here's the face so far:

I'm just about happy with it, maybe I'll add a few more wrinkles. I have to get myself in gear to finish this in time.

   The elephant is amazing! I would suggest for the tusks to bake them separately and then attach.

Many thanks 4U! (Double meaning) Yes, I am going to do the tusks separately. I'll bake the first half and use the holes from the wire to attach the tusks.

Looking great as always! I'm just in love with the bison... So cool sculpture! Exciting to see how is the elephant progressing!
The tapir looks so cute

Doing a great job with the texturing   

Nice elephant too!

The elephant's looking great!

I just finished my project as far as school goes. It was well-received when I presented a video in front of my peers, as my teacher showed it to other teachers and requested a model made of an owl. With little need to say anything else, here come the pictures:
First, Ryan and Esther:

I started this pair in January and I can't believe it took this long. After close examination I also think they were wood bison, meaning I might have some flaws in the anatomy.
Also, I have my peacock:

The leg had broken after the pictures were taken, so I'll probably fix that.
Lastly, my elephant is now finished. Its my personal favorite out of all of them, both in the finish product, and the construction process.

Thanks again to Elephas_maximus for the assistance.
Tomorrow I'll be bringing some to school as was requested by my teacher to show. From here, I also plan on not sculpting as much, but when I do, I'll be sculpting prehistoric animals. So far, I'm thinking of late maastrichtian fauna, and perhaps a separate triceratops, maybe a dimetrodon as well. Among my ideas are also a mammoth or other mammal.

The peacock is gorgeous! We rarely see males with their tail down.   

I hope you do continue to sculpt! I love your figures

Beautieful elephant and a really wonderful peacock!!

Congratulations with the good result of your project, - of course your teachers were impressed    

Your models are fantastic !!!
The peacock is stunning, - I love your personnal style    

These are absolutely fantastic! How great you're classmates liked you're presentation and even more nice the teachers were interested in those! So cool!
Wow, I like the bisons a lot! I think its just good we make mistakes with our models, so we can learn something new.
I agree with LeeAnn, the peacock is just so beautiful! Hope you can fix his leg. ; )
This elephant! Wonderful work, this color suits well on it. Big congrats,you finally finished them!   

Love seeing the updates to your menagerie! Great work on all of these!

I love your elephant!
He is beautifull! :)

The rest is to afcourse.

Thank you all so much! I totally agree, Jonesee, I learn best by mistakes. I'll probably have a 1/40 triceratops in the works. Any ideas on coloring? I usually go through a lots of ideas when it comes to this.

Great work, your elephant turned out very nice. You should be proud of all the models you have sculpted so far, very impressive.
