Here are some more photos.

Let me know what you think

   

  He's so cool!    

He is looking very good so far     But maybe you can put the hind legs more together?  

Very nice... I like the way the shorter hair around the head progresses to the longer on the neck and body. I find it interesting that you do the texture before adding the detail of eyes and ears.

Thank you Paige Jonas Bonobo and MiniZoo   

@Bonobo: I'll try to, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that because he might topple...
@MiniZoo: Thanks, doing the texture first doesn't really have a lot of advantages. Though because of the the clay (super sculpey firm) I can still touch the figure without damaging the fur too much. But I had to redo some parts of the fur.

He is fabulous! Love the detailing!

Thank you Harriet

Very beautieful    

thank you Andreas

He survived the oven so he officially finished (the sculpting part).
The next step is to try to make copies. I allready have the "stuff" to make a mold. I only need some sort of liquid resin to pour into the mold.

Here's a picture:

Such a shame isn't it. They are really interesting creatures
