Snow leopard in scale 1:15

Hi friends! Today I wanted to show You my new work. It is actually re sculpted Snow Leopard which I started some time ago, but one day I felt I really want to finish this So I did :)
Scale of the model is 1:15 so bigger than I work normally...
I want to say big thanks to Willy who helped me and did review of the figure

It looks wonderful,Ana,fantastic job! You are such a talented person!
I would buy it immediately...if I could.

Wow ana its amazing you are so talented, i'm with Vivien I would buy it if I could.

Wonderful work Anna, as always
Can you take a picture of the leopard next to some branded animals, so we can see the size of it?

It looks stunning Ana! Are you planning on mass producing it or just leaving it as a self-project?

A new wonderful masterpiece!!!!

Thank You so much for your words Vivien, Kade, Robert, Andreas and Mihnea!!!
Yes, I will make mold and copies, the same as I did with some of my previous works :)
And here, maybe not best photo but comparison with CollectA snow leopard cub :)

Congratulation Ana, I remember seeing an unpainted pic a few month ago

It is absolutely awesome my friend, at last a snow leopard which look like a snow leopard.

Thank You very much Martin, Rusty and Christophe

Vivien, I answered in PM

Thank you so much for Your words Ethan and Paolo

Paolo, I will try to take photo tomorrow because now my son is running around and I'm afraid something may fall on the floor

G E O R G E O U S !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being the number 1 fan of big cats and figures of them, Ana that is an awesome figure! Please continue making big cats, your figures represent their plight in this world!

Thank You so much Balti!!! I'm very happy You like this Snow Leopard

Stunning Ana! Just what I need! If you could pm me too with the price and show me how I can place an order that would be great. You have a great talent and snow leopard! Thanks

Many thanks for Your words Steve I'm happy You like this cat! I will send You PM :)

Beautiful snow leopard Ana!
I'm agreed on changing of scale. I'm working on the 1:23 siamang and it's difficult to make little details. That's because I'm working on a biggest scale in another project.

Anna wonderful job as always, it is beautiful

:) :)

ALL ANA´S WORKS ARE MARVELLOUS..¡

This leopard is excelent.

Thank you Ana, please take all the time you need .....and only if u can of course

Could you take a pic of your beautiful creation next to the Papo tiger?

One more fantastic work, Ana!
This kind of figures are only excelent made by a competent artist. This kind of painting doesn't work mass produced. What CollectA is giving us is only a interesting figure of a snow leopard but very far from what we can see here! Thanks for showing and for making it for us, it's always a huge pleasure to see your works! Willy imput it's also something that turns your figure even more valuable.

a great addition to your fine work, Ana!!!

Very fine snow leopard!! I am sure I have a place for him!

Thank You so much for Your words Joan, Jean-Luc, Fernando, Roger, Sean and Ken!
Balti, Paolo, here are comparison photos. Unfortunately I don't have Papo tiger so I used Papo lioness instead. :)

Thanks! Very nice!

Brilliant sculpting!
But: to me, the face looks little more like a Manul (Felis manul), the nose has to be a little bigger in my opinion, pinted with some dark parts left and right. And i may be wrong, but the eyes seem to look in different directions?

I esp like the realistic shorter legs and long, thick tail--known for the snow leopard.

Beautiful snow leopard Ana. The pro's dont come close

Many thanks for Your word Steve and Shawn

It's interesting. I like Manul cats, but I think they have much flatter faces Well, it' still possible to make the nose longer, but I'm not sure if it that would be better for this cat. Maybe I will add 1mm, not more. I will consider it. Thanks Philipp :)
About the eyes, I will work on better color for them. In nature Snow leopards seems to have slightly brighter eyes. I will show the effect here after changing this Thanks for suggestions :)

Hey ana,
of course, a manul has a flater face, it's more the expression, the proportions and the whole arrangement of eyes, nose etc...
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
the manul is really one of my favourite animals, as it seems to be grumpy all day. A fuzzy, grumpy muff.

Concerning the nose: i think you misunderstood as i didn't think of the length but the width and the blackish nares.
With the slightly slit eyes, it really characterizes the species.

I thank PeGe for his snow leopard head shot photo, since it's a nice representation of the species, which I think can really be of help to fine tuning Ana's beautiful creation : )

Hi PeGe, I think I understand now :) OK, I will try to do changes that You suggested, I think they may be helpful
Yes manul is indeed an animal with very special character

WoW!

I just don't look at the Custom animal threads very often. I really need to as this is absolutley beautiful work Ana.

The thing about seeing someone do a lovely sculpture of an unusual animal is I check out online for more photos and information about the real animal.
They sure do have a long tail.

Beautiful work Ana. Your family must be very proud of you and your talent.

Thank You so much Sue!!! I'm so happy You like this cat :)

Wonderful creation Anna. Another must need for my collection. Absolutely stunning figure.

Thank you Ana for the photos showing the scale between your snow and Schleich leopard.

Ooh beautiful, I love it!

So at the end i come in, as i already knew about this figurine long ago as Ana mentioned.
We discussed some parts of this model already, and in that were some parts of the face to indeed.
One of the things i mentioned were the eyes, as the snowleopard has a kind of look, that is really piercing, and the cat looked to sweet before, probably the female touch, as we said to eachother before.
Anyway, it is the best snowleopard in business right now, and all of your comments will be thought over by Ana, i am sure!
