I asked what people would like to see me sculpting and one of the suggestions I really liked was the fennec fox.
So here's the progress so far:

Don't mind the bend leg too much. I should have made a wire armature but I didn't do that...

Also, this time I'm keeping track of my working hours. A lot of people have asked me how long it takes to make one sculptures but I very bad at estimating. And I'm just curious myself how many hours it takes me to sculpt something.

A scratching Fennec fox! Nice job already

So far it looks good.... I look forward to the outcome.

Very cute :)

Adoreable, - actually FANTASTIC

Look at that face !!! I can't stop smiling and I love that model so much

Alovely animal in a lovely pose.
It is really looking great and I am glad your choice was a fennec, such wonderful small wild dogs.

Thank you friends

He's got some more details now:

I don't like this side yet... I think his back needs to be a bit more "hunchbacked" or bumpy? (I don't really know the right word, but I hope understand me.) So please give me some advise how I can make it look better :)

He is absolutely gorgeous, - you don't even have to paint him, he is ....arrrhw !

He is SO cute!

How cute can a Fennec be! <3 Such a great job!

Thank you Karin, LeeAnn and Susanne!

What a cutie I'm really looking forward to see your next steps! What did you use as eyes? Good luck, A-J!!

Thanks Julie

Do you know those fountain pen cartridges? To help the ink get to the nib those cartridges contain a little ball. So I cut open some empty cartridges and removed the little balls and they turned out to be the right size for my fennec's eyes :)

Thank you :) fennec foxes are really cool creatures, aren't they.
And I saw your fennec fox too! it so detailed considering it's small size! I didn't dare to sculpt mine in such a small scale (mine is 1:12)
(btw, I added your blog to my "blog-watch-list" ; ) )

Your little preview on the left is very little, I almost can't see anything.
I love your unpainted figure, it has a fabulous pose and is so detailed. Fennecs are really amazing creatures!

Cute

thank you friends :)

Here she is, completely finished!

I made some more pictures. It's still hard to take good sharp pictures of such a small model while also the lighting and the colours should be good...
