Fine, I do.
But dammit, they are cute! Embarassed

As you can see, there are a few differences from my first model. As it turns out, every *bleep*ing shop in the country has run out of Green Stuff at the same time, so I'm forced to use Apoxie. This means less hair detail and thicker extremities (it's less flexible, so ears and tails have a tendency to break), which also explains the base.

I wasn't looking at my other model when I was working on this one, so in the end they turned out quite different both in color and shape. The new guy - because I've decide he's a he - has a thicker neck, wider face, and more alert-looking ears.

If anyone has any suggestions for the base I'd appreciate it - I'm terrible at working out what colors/patterns look good together.
Oh, and if anyone has a lemur they want to sell or trade... these guys are scary addictive!

I would use a sienna color for the base. Your lemurs are awesome!

Thanks!

What kind of sienna, burnt or raw?

Subject: Re: I do not have a lemur problem Sun 16 Jan 2011, 21:22

Maybe a mix of them, I mean, the lighter one as base color and then the darker one as the shadow of the lemur , just around the animal:)

You must have found just the right way to keep lemurs, sice they breed so well Very Happy

They are fantastic, Sumo !
Can I ask you for a picture if the one no 2 from the right? Please ?
It is hard to see what it is sitting behind Wink

The baby? Unfortunately it's not sitting behind anything, it's sitting on a mound of sculpted sand on top of a wooden base thingie. I had to put something underneath after I sculpted the new tail - turns out the original tail was keeping the model upright.

I love the one on the far right, they're gorgeous Sumo! cheers
