Auroch (1:20) ....2019 version

Well, the time has come to renew some of my figures that are already obsolete and I think that over time we are learning with practice and studying different techniques. I hope I have improved, hahaha.
My next work is a species that seems to be obsessing me and from which I have been making different interpretations over these years, the auroch (bos primigenius). Let's see how it is going ...

Hi Miguel, I am like you a little obsessed by this species, so please, don't make him a too big dewlap as often seen on recent reconstitutions based on Spanish or Camargue bulls Which both descend from domestic cattle (from oriental origin) and not from european one!.. I am impatient to see the result of your work!.. :)

Itvalready looks promising Miguel

I am glad you're sharing your exciting project with us. I use to follow your works wherever you show them and you have improved a lot even if it is not easy when you did it so well when you started. I am looking forward to see your aurochs, these were surely magnificent creatures.

WOW ! I can't wait to see the proceeding

Thankyou for sharing

Thank you Caracal, Andreas, Christhope, Roger and Susanne ! .

Caracal, , I have also always been fascinated by this species and, in general, all the fauna of the Pleistocene, in which lately I am focusing more. I do not know about the double chin if it has a solution because the figure is already finished. I hope it's to your liking...

Roger, I thank you very much for following my work Roger (and I still have to send you a copy of my first auroch). I think that if he advanced in my figures and he learned a lot, there is an appreciable difference between the first steps and the last ones, which makes me happy

Model of the auroch in progress.... I wanted to represent him with a position of strength, fierceness and as head of the herd

It means a lot to me that you're still reserving that iconic auroch to me. That's the start of your adventure as a sculptor and it is amazing to see the way you exelled yourself. Look at the poses you're using these days as it is the example of this last figure!
I want to thank you a lot for keeping the old auroch for me for such a long time and be sure it will be mine. I always wanted at least one of your works in my collection. I will find a way to work it. Do you remember this topic?

Roger, thank you very much for following me in my steps to model figures from the beginning. For me, your words are a great incentive. Thank you very much !!
About the topic that you mention to me wooow !!, I had forgotten it. Many years have passed and I find it very endearing, I like it

Really splendid, It has a very striking pose.

Thank you Fernando, glad you like it !

That is a really gorgeous model. A great sense of life and power, such feeling! Amazing work

If I could express how much I love it...

it seems so living!

Absolutely stunning figure, this second version is really a big improvement.

Your "Ice age" line is so beautiful, I dream I would have enough money to catch them all

Thank you thank you friends ! .I am very grateful for your words.
Christophe, for me it would be an honor if my figures were part of your fabulous collection.

A photo of the three figures of the ice age ...

As I did with the bison priscus, I took advantage of the excursion to photograph the auroch in a natural environment ...
