Could you please make a comparison picture to a papo or a schleich?

Goodness, your sculpting talent has no boundaries! o.0
Your animals have their own charm <3
I love the colors, he is not all snow white and that makes him so realistic.

Thanks Karin

I am sorry but I do not collect animal figurines from companies and I do not have those figurines.  The most I can do is to show you a picture with my model on my hands, to give you an idea about his size:

Thank you :)

Beautiful polar bear!

Mgarat, this bear is the proof that there is no limit to your talents

It is WONDERFUL

You're clearly a versatile sculptor! Your polar bear is a very fine one, painting is just superb! Although your work is irreproachable, I am only tempted to make two comments related to aesthetics that is a personal thing. I'd love to see a less conspicuous tail and a motion of rear body more adjusted to the front body. I think you could easily work to a company and listen to boring comments like mine from the manager of that company.
By the way, being a 1:20 scale, it is almost surely and noticiably larger than polar bears from major companies, much probably more in scale with AAA large polar bears.

Roger, your comments are always welcome. I learnt a lot from them...

That is why I would like you to be a little more specific about the motion. I am afraid I do not fully understand what you mean...

About the tail, I can understand you don't like it so conspicuous, but...don´t you like this?

Daniels, I was just making a comment related with aestethics as many managers do but I am not a manager nor a sculptor. The Artistic sense should be kept with what the Artist think is better to his work. If it was a commercial figure, I would suggest a less conspicuous tail, maybe it is a little big, unless it looks when compared with the funny picture you provided.
About motion, I mean that front legs are giving the impression that the bear is walking while rear legs are not giving a sensation of movement. Of course I can find several pictures like that, I just think it could look better if back legs where spread according with the way front legs are. For example, extending the back left leg backwards and blending partially the tail with the inner back side of the leg. It is hard to explain and much probably useless once the figure is very beautiful and finished.

Ok. Understand! And I think they are, as usual, very useful comments that help to improve the models. Thanks for that.

By the way, my name is not Daniels but Nenumu
