1:20 Southeast African Lion (Panthera Leo krugeri)

Very good job on his face :)
It will be a great model. :)

I think it is looking better now and I am glad my comment was useful although I was not able of being objective. The important is that your lion is really lloking great and as there are more lions in your project, particularly the Asiatic lion, you'll notice how some little difference, apparently not very visible, can determine a correct look to each subspecies.

What!!! you were completely objective....and your comment extremely useful!!! ...and helps me to understand the little (and no so little) differences between lion subspecies.

Thanks again!

He reminds me of Aslan, the big male lion from Narnia.
He is stunning and I can't wait to see him painted

Beautiful figure with a perfect modeling. Leon relaxed posture is very attractive. Congratulations !!

Absolutly great so far!
Great to see those hidden species knowbody talks about becamming a masterpiece of model arts

I am glad that you think like that! Thanks also for being so kind!

Hello fellows!!! I am back to this topic. The reason why I was out these last days is because I was learning and trying to make copies of my own models, now I can customize them to appear different variations...

This is the result!!!

Now I will continue with the Felidae Family Project

Wow, it sounds wonderful
It's so nice that now you can do copies, and the material is very nice as I can see: no one detail was missed in processing of copy

You learned quite fast how to make moulds and as Anasta commented, it seems copies are perfect! I believe that is a very good news for you and also for the friends of the forum.

Wow, that`s realy great Mgarat
Will be very very great, if you find a time in the future..and try to make one tutorial for making copies I realy hope , that you will do that for us :)

Very nice figure

Thank you Anasta, Roger, Kosta, Zelvik and Karin for your nice words

Almost finished!!!

Wow, wow, wow
He looks very beautiful: those perfect details, this pose, paintwork... Wonderful
But don't you think that his eyes are too big? Not really too big, I can see it very well from profile.
Please, don't be offended, but his back looks a bit strange. Look at that (I made this wolf when I participate olympiad of sculpture):
Sorry for photo quality, photo is taken by my phone.

No offense at all. I always appreciate your comments.

I will check the eyes size. Perhaps is not the size but emphasized by the painting

Respecting the back I tried to reflect the typical way how the cats twist the spine while lying in this posture. Canidae (dogs, wolves, foxes…) can’t do in the same way.

Maybe about the eyes
I know tht canids and felidaes are different in anatomy; but the pose of backbone and ribs is the same. The mainest difference between lion and wolf spine is width. Wolf's one is wider. You just should do this side smoother than it is now. Not as my wolf, I just showed you an example about how it works. I feel like down side of your line has not enough rib volume

Maybe...I will consider your points. Thanks

I think your model has nice sculpting overall with good painting but I also feel the eyes can be modified to be more realistic.
I have made a quick modification to show what I mean.  I think the eyes could be smaller and angled slightly at the tear ducts.

Quite convincing picture!!!

You both are right... I will work on it.

Thank you very much!!!

Very good. The mane in particular gives it the feel of a real lion.

Wow what an great lion! But I'm agree with the others the eyes look a little strange.
