| Hello. My name is David, I'm from Spain, and this is my first post. First at all, congratulations to everybody for such an interesting forum, without a doubt the best site to enjoy and learn on this hobby of miniature animal replicas. A few days ago I decided to model my very first miniature, and (as expected) I have realised the extreme difficulty of this art. Nevertheless, since I have seen how kindly advised are the novice sculptors in the forum, here you are: my male (scratching) gaur Bos gaurus. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Obviously, it is still unfinished, and I would appreciate any coment to improve it (sorry for the low quality of the picture). Thanks in advance... |

| It looks very nice. Great work! Welcome to the forum. _________________ "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away!"

| Hello David and first of all welcome to this forum. I really hope we'll see more of you; both your own sculptures and your collection. About this sculpture: I'm actually speechless  You say this is your first try? It's looking so good, as if you've been doing this for years! I can't help you any further with advising about it, because I find anatomy very difficult and I'm not as professional with sculpting as some others here on the forum. But I just want to say: please continue sculpting and I'd love to see more of you - much more!  Thanks for sharing! |

| Welcome, you come in with a great topic  I also can't say nothing about anatomy or give you any help about your sculpture. What I can say is that I think it looks great already, can't wait to see it painted :3 Hope you have a great time here and thank you for complementing this forum  _________________ ~Karin~

| Ola David!  Another artist from Spain, how great! Kosta is also an artist and he loves art. Your gaur has a lot of expressiveness so comments are not easy once we dont' want to remove your remarkable style from it. Though, if you want our suggestions to turn it as much realistic as possible, we'll need larger and better pictures for sure. From now, a big welcome from Portugal, a big congratulation for your talent and a big thanks for your words! |

| Welcome David!!!!
I think you have a great personal style with deep personality and really intense expressiveness. It looks having some beautiful oriental influence... I really like!!!
I have no clear idea how we can help you if you want to develop pieces of art as for sure this one is.
A quite different thing is if you want to make replicas of animals as realistic as possible, with marked scientific sensibility...then we need more and better pictures from different points of view (what is called "walkaround"). However, even if you want to go through this option, I recommend you keep making from time to time animal figures using your own personal and promising style...
Any way, I really wish you keep showing us your future works...
Congrats!!! |

| Oh wow, David, they are all gorgeous  I already really liked your two gaurs, and it's great to see these photos of them. But I really like your three new sculptures as well! They a look pretty realistic, but still with your own style. Love them, well done |
