1:22 scale Greater Kudu Cow

She is still a work in progress. Please say if there are any anatomical errors that the model has. I just had to take a little break from the saiga male, but his head is almost done.

Very nice, shoulders are a bit too strong and scull a bit wide, IMHO...

Very nice, congratulation!

Great beginning! I quite like the way the head is developing, even if the skull is a bit wide. As for other things you might improve: The right hind hock is very low and the right hind knee shows insufficient flexion for the position of the metatarsal bone of the leg in a weight-carrying step. The shoulders are also very buff and the area behind the scapulae should be more filled in towards the spine (latissimus dorsi stretches over that gap). Other than that, I see no major anatomical issues that refining the sculpt as it develops won't likely fix.

Looks great so far!       I like the head, excited to see this one complete.

Very interesting! Looks great.

I was going to say the same as Lea :) It´s turning out pretty well

She's beautiful!

Its really nice.    I think this is the first I saw a female kudu figurine. Points for uniqueness   

Thank you all for the kind words. Thank you especially to Roger and Lea for their criticisms. Lea thanks for being so in depth. I think I addressed all the problems, but do tell me if I still need to fix something or if I made a problem worse. I do have one question, are the indents between an eye and an ear for both sides of the face too deep?(particularly look at the last 2 pictures for reference of this possible problem.)

this is super.... cant wait to see the final result !!!    

Very nice Greater kudu cow   

If it could help, I think the joint between the neck and shoulders is too rough. I also think the ears are fixed too high on the skull.

A phantastic model

Thank you NandO, Kiki, and Andreas. I worked on fixing the problems and I will hopefully post photos tomorrow.

WOW!    It looks very promising! You have abilities! I'm waiting for the ready model!

Great to see more of your work, Kudu! Thanks for sharing! It's looking great!

Thanks Bjarki and jonesee.
Here she is updated, she lost a lot of weight not her body is a bit less like a cow and more like an antelope. Criticism is still welcome.

She's looking wonderful Ethan!

You are doing a very good job so far but in the painting that will make the big difference.

It's not easy to come this far to make this figure, but it looks really close to the real thing now! May I just add a tiny suggestion, if you could make the neck a bit curved like that of a swan, that would give the kudu more elegance to the neck.    

After you changed your materials to better ones, I see a huge improvement :) The kudu looks awesome, I can't wait to see it finished!

Thank you Harriet, littlebear, Alvin, and Agata for the compliments and advise. Here she is with the updated neck. Please don't mind the blue, it is colored pencil and will not be a problem later. Critism is still appreciated.
