Entrauner's water buffalo by Kikimalou

Do you remember the water buffalo made by Erik. No ? here is the topics with a few pics    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Erik sent me a model and I finally decided myself to paint it. I was very affraid to do so but the pics of Lucky Luke repainted animals gave me enough courage to do something...

It was a terrible experience   and I let the model as it is now.

I wish to applause Ana, Harriet, Ralf and all the good painters of the forum. I was sure you have a lot of talent and now I understand how much talent you have.

So, ladies and gentlemen, be indulgent because it is my first attempt at painting  

He looks great! It isn't easy to keep these dark colors from looking flat, but it looks like you've succeeded. Well done!

terrific kikimalou. i wish i could take him with me.well another one in the steps of ana. comeon ya.it is 2 superb for a first timer.little suggetions.wild buffaloes more dangerous than african.but rarely they attack or encounter with humans.they are endangered 2 due to breeding with domestic cattle.they have the biggest horns in the world.now his horns would hav been lighter grey.body colour perfect.i want to see some grass in his mouth.perfect for this pose if he eats grass.now importantly his legs should be pale white.horns longer and wider.i want to see his companion in a standing pose with white legs and sex organs for a bull.make horns wider and longer.his eyes should stare at you.he should look more fierce.guys somebody make a huge gaur on right scale with african buffalo,asian elephant

Very nice Chris, planning to go professional?

Congratulations on the new figure, and such a well done paint job.

Oh Kiki! great collector, funny man, lot of knoledge and now also talented! ...and the best of all.... a crazy macaque!

Wonderful painting job :)

Hi Cristophe, you did a great job on the painting it looks really good.

Congratulations on your model and the painting work.

Christophe, that is a beautiful paint job!!!!! I love it!

I don't undestand your self-criticism!It is beautifully painted!!!

But Christophe, what are you afraid of :

You made a fantastic job, I bow my head in admiration of this great and unique figure, - it can`t be your fist attempt ?
Do you make paintings or something similar ?

Thakyou for showing us.
I hope we see more from your hand in the future

Bravo Christophe coup for a first try!
You already boasting a beautiful model,
and it is forged, it becomes
perfect!

Just come back from work... I was very anxious to read you all

I Feel better now

I was affraid to do it but now it's like a bolt opened in my mind, I will probably strike again

I'm very happy you like it, I will try to do a better job on my next victim.

Harriet, you did a better job than I thought on my giraffe

Susanne, I must admit it was not my first attempt at painting A few weeks ago I painted my kitchen walls in yellow and blue

Robert, I'm already a professional But not in painting

Kristie, Ezhilan, Phil, Sylvia, Alejandro, Minhea, Roger, martin and Jean-Luc : Thank you

Now, you just need to surround the Water buffalo with a few komodo dragons...

Well done!

Well my friend, i just did put some words in the tread of Jean-Luc, but i have to take them back very quickly, although they were fun to me...
I thought you could only handle a brush to dust of your wine-bottles, but that isn't true!
You did a wonderfull job on this waterbuffalo, and not even said to make you happy, he looks really good!
When this goes on like this, i have to find some brushes and paint to, although that doesn't help only, i need some time and talent...
When i see things like this, i think it is just a matter of trying and error, and the skills will grow eventually.
See here, the crazy French(Monet) and painting macaque!

Cheers

I think you did an awesome job painting this water buffalo. I am scared to paint mine too, but eventually I will get the inspiration to paint it just as you painted yours. Congratulations.

Very good painting work on this water buffalo! Congratulations Christophe

Amy, Ana, Thank you very much. All of your comments give me enough courage to paint something again. I'm very happy... Like a child showing his first scribbling

This buffalo looks like the one eaten by the Komodo dragon
