Clouded leopard, second try

Ok, so I did a second one...

I´m happier with this one. The sculpt I think is better than the last one, and I´m pretty happy with the head :)

I cinda like the colour, But I couldnt realy get the "live" feeling to it that I wanted.
It has some flaws, like the patterns look a little weird, and I think I made to many black spots on the legs, but I can always fix that later.
I did however make a big misstake that I wont be able to fix. I forgot to put wire in the tail, connecting it to the body, wich means that the tail is very fragile... Well, you learn from your misstakes, right

Of course, I didnt get the eyes the way I wanted, close up they look a little funny, but for now I´m gonna leave it as it is.

And to be honest, I accually like him

Ohhh, Anna, it is beautyful

The first one was beautyful also, but this one is gorgeous.
I think the one who makes the figuere can always find some small thing that they would like otherwise (Ana maybe the exception ), - just see the professional animals designs from Schleich, Safari, Papo etc, - always something.

But in this case I think you are the only one wha can see it

*thud* That's just... wow and wow again!

Excellent work Anna!! Congratulations, it's wonderful model of clouded leopard

What a beauty!

Very nice animal, great work

Great work Anna!
Really nice to figure regardeet beautiful posture.
This bed is also remarkable, really pleasant to the eyes. Thank you for sharing.

Very beautiful animal, excellent paint job and a really nice sculpture!

Great job Anna, the painting, the pose and sculpting are very fine. Congratulation

Wow, i just love it Anna!
Fantastic job, i wish i could make them like this, then i wouldn't buy to much anymore i guess...

Second figure, WAY better!

Anna is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Congratulations on creating another superb clouded leopard, it's really beautiful and I love the painting on it too, stunning

A really successful model! It´s fantastic .The first model is also very nice, just maybe the beard should be omitted.
A very impressive work, Anna. May I ask again how much time do you need for a model? For me it always takes an eternity since I've usually not much time.

I agree, the second one is even better.

By the way, I stand myself corrected because I thought the first one was a Snow Leopard that's why I mentioned that it was better than the Safari and Bullyland's counterparts. Nonetheless, whether it is a clouded or a snow leopard, definitely consider a masterpiece.

Thanx guys

@Susanne; You are so right, when you do a sculpt you always find some detailes that your not happy with, but overall I like it a lot, so I decided to just be happy with it as it is

@Sumo; Glad you like it

@Ana; It means a lot that you like it, ´cus you are realy the queen of customs. Cant wait to see yours, I know it will be astonishing

@SyLoBe, Skysthelimit, Lucky luke, Philter4, Christophe; Thank you, I´m soo glad you guys like him

@Willy; Thanx Haha, I think you would still buy new, `cus you can never get enough animals

@baltimore zoo; Thanx. I agree with you

@Harriet; Thank you soo much

@Yurumi; Yes I should probably have skipped the beard on the first one. The reason I put it there was that the animals I looked at when I made it looked like it had a beard, but it didnt turn out so good

It takes about 5-10 hours for me to make a aculpt. This one took me about 15 hours of work (about three days) But when I start on an animal, I can hardly stop until it´s finished, so I use al my spare time on it, and usually stay up all night, just to finish it

@Lasersword; Thanx Aha, ye I can understand why you could think it was a snow, the colour is quite similar.

WOOOW!!

I don't have worrds to classifique it

Congratulations Anna!!!

ANNA IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think (a more detailed, no rush paint job)Clouded leopard Version III will be the best : )

Custom figures are always the best! If I was able to make a figure I surely will think that it was the worst but at the same time the best!
Congratulations for your talent and you are very happy, you can choose always the animal you want!
I need an Ibes and where to find it? It would be a miracle if the answer was... in my hands!!!

Oh I missed this thread! Clouded leopard look so good and good details.

Thanx guys

Baltimore; I will probably try to make another clouded sometime, but I think I´m gonna do a few other animals first, try to get a little better at it

Most excellent model there,great detail and love the tail!!

Totally understand, I just think the next version will be the final product : )
Cause you're so close to perfection!

I love your sculptures Anna, keep them coming - I so enjoy looking at them

Absolutely beautiful. You did an awesome job on this one. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.
