Some close-ups :

I tried to make the colors of the fur, not just brown, but more ''rich'' , because watching more and more photos of real Brown hyenas, I was amazed of how different and beautiful they all look... Not just brown, but with so many colors... :

I'm speechless Kosta, he's magnificent. A figure like this would be a best-seller among collectors, I guess you know that. It's also obvious that you had fun making it, that's the best part of this project.
I'm very happy you did this beautiful hyena and a bit jealous for your talent, congrats!

He is SO handsome, Kosta!
I’m impressed how you did the fur texture: it seemed to be you knew how exactly make each step.
Now I think this forum needs more of your customs Laughing

Hello, I am Sleeping Beauty and I really needed something to rescue me from this long and deep sleep. Sleep Jack Corona is the perfect prince! geek
Incredible, Kosta. You adopted a striped hyena painted as a spotted hyena and you turned it in a magnificent brown hyena! Figure ended beautiful, with great colours, fur texture, shape, face, ears, everything. If I remember, you haven't worked it with all needed resources and you used some alternative materials. It works perfectly with the Safari and CollectA models.
Just a note, calling it a custom figure is a little forced, from the original we only have the face sculpt and the name of the brand. Yes, if it ever gets in other hands, the only way to know what was the original is reading these letters. Won't you try a homemade figure? You have more than talent to do it and this one probably required the same level of effort. What about an aardwolf to complete your family? I only wished the Papo sculptor was as genial and talented as you are and now I could also have a figure like this one. cheers

Wonderful result! I am looking back at your initial sketches, and it looks exactly as you had planned it. Very beautiful figure and so interesting to see the creation process.

Amazing custom figure, even more valuable since this species has never been produced by main brands.

I would pay a lot for such a masterpiece.

As wonderful as the result is, I think my favorite part may be the wonderful multihued brown! But his face is so winsome, it's an impossible choice.

What a wonderful result! A really spot-on representation of the brown hyena, and a good reminder that this species is really under-represented by our major brands!

I'm really impressed with how well you've captured all of the different shades of brown.

This is amazing! Very realistic and beautifully re-sculpted and painted hyena  Applause It really makes me happy to see it finished. And I'm a big fan of your paint works! Brown hyenas may not have a spectacular color or pattern (if you compare to tigers for example) but you made it look beautiful and interesting Very Happy
Congratulations Kosta!
