Snow leopard in scale 1:15

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...

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.

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!

G E O R G E O U S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

It's never too late to say: "WOW!"

Thank You so much Silvia, Willy, Gebe and Balti :)
