Lynx and Rhino repaints (for Pege)

Hi Philipp here's my 'before' and 'after' pics of the Schleich lynx and Collecta white rhino + calf. I don't have decent shots of 'before' so I hope these cutouts will do

Before: This is actually a touch up before I started on the full repaint.

After: There's not much I did aside from repainting the coat and adding markings here and there. I'm very bad with painting markings on big cats so you can see the stripes are big and sloppy

White Rhino
Before: I don't know why the manufacturers almost didn't paint the rhino. They only gave him a light brush of grey paint and two black dots for eyes

Thanks for viewing! :)

Magnificent repaints, Alvin

Phantastic repaints

great work--what brand is the rhino calf?

thank you! the rhino is really amazing. The lynx is a little too white in my eyes but i realy like the way you painted the markings, especially those of the head,...!

Lovely repaints!!very well done!! (o)): (o)):

Thanks to all! :)

Thanks for your feedback Philipp! I agree that the coat of the lynx is too light. I based it off the illustration from Carnivores of the World. Will see what can be done on this!

Susanne: Thanks for the link! I didn't know Christophe made a walk around on the calf!!!

thank you for the pics again Alvin, your repaints are really nice (o)): It is too bad I can't find enough time now to do the same because it is very inspiring.

What kind of paintings do you use ?

Congratulations! Your repaints are wonderful Alvin

Thanks Ana! It wasn't really good though, I think I've confused the colours of a bobcat's with an Iberian lynx!! Not enough homework done before repaint!!

I use acrylics, Christophe. And water-based matt varnish, because the last time I used a solvent based varnish the finished coating becomes sticky over time. Is it due to a chemical reaction or something like that?
