Saarlooswolfhound's custom repaints: 9/30 An old mascot

Thank you all so much! I love my little chickies too.

Beautiful repaints!

Lovely little birds

Thanks again friends!

So after nearly a month I finally had enough time to get these done! Unfortunately I don't have the best light though so the colors are a little different in person...

First up is my Pizzly/Grolar bear (polar bear X grizzly bear). This was another beat up model from some time ago that as a starting artist I sort of ruined (see previous photo). This still didn't quite turn out how I wished as my colors just weren't blending how I wanted them to so this model ended up a little more white than originally planned. Obviously the mold makes this hybrid take after the grizzly  in body type but the polar bear in color.

I have always wished for a red husky from a big brand but all they have ever made is the classic black or gray. The texture of this model was really difficult to blend so it was a new challenge. Here is my pretty red headed girl!

And an old chinamal vintage-ish model. The original plan was for a wolf sable but as I struggled with my ovcharka color so I did on this much smaller model... thus we scrapped it and made a black and a tan. Turned out cute I think!

And lastly my favorite, another weird chinamal into one of my favorite fish, a pike! The mould itself needed some slight modifying by cutting down the dorsal fin but I am not skilled enough to sculpt an extra set of ventral fins so opted not to... settled on the lime green color scheme to make him a different color morph from my other model of this species. Really pleased with this overall!

Nice pike!

You have always very interesting ideas. I confess I was not even aware of red husky dogs.

Thank you birdsage and Roger.

So many wonderful repaints again- as I've said before I love your style! Maybe one say we will see some sculptures!
I love the idea of the hybrid and what a gorgeous red husky- such a beautiful girl! I love the markings you have painted, and the way it brings out the fur- and of course the different shades of red, such a sweet girl! I agree with you, it would be so nice to see other Husky colours- and I think the same goes for all other dog breeds too, I'd love to see some cream golden retrievers and merle rough collies! And such a delightful little Pom too- such a sweet model, the colours really suite the bold pose of this little dog!
Beautiful detail on your pike too!

I especially like the pike

Thank you both!

I decided to share some comparison photos of the recent work.
Parentage of my pizzly.

I love these comparisons- all those tiny chicks!!!
And three beautiful huskies and two darling Poms- A Piebald husky would be stunning!

great comparison photos
I like the picture with the poms. The repainted one looks so proud of his new colour while the other just stares jealously at it

Yes, he's rolling his eyes- 'Showoff!'

All are beautiful, but as much as I love the pike, I am most drawn to those chicks!

Gotta say, love those bear paws - great attention to detail there in the shape of the pads. What a cool idea, too, for the mold! He looks great with his family there, a perfect blend. And both dogs look amazing, and so different. That sharp, clean style of the pom is very handsome, and what a beautiful red on the husky! That really a wonderful color, it's a shame there isn't a mass produced one, but yours is a wonderful addition to the group. The pike is lovely, too, I didn't know they could come in that color (not that I know a lot about pike, to be fair!!).

Thank you everybody!

Wonderful repaints-the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian are stunning!!Love all the comparison photos!!!

Thank you Taylor. So excited to present my bovine model soon, especially for you!

The grolar is such a cool custom idea.
The dogs and pike are simply beautiful.

Thank you Burger!

Next few. I am most proud of this first one. Spanish fighting bulls are not a breed per say, just an athletic type from my understanding. I decided I needed a lady for my herd so here she is! I think I better ring the rest of my boys before they harrass her too much.

Next I bought the New Ray grizzly bears to turn into spectacled bears. Now my bear fixation is cured. Perhaps not the best body type but I think they worked well enough.

And lastly I came across a poorly painted Nayab bootleg macaw. Trimmed its tail and made my first African gray parrot (one of my favorite species).

The bears turned out so cute!
I'm also amazed at how you painted the parrot's eye.

Great repaints again! I especially love the new bears and the parrot!
The bear's cubs are so cute

Thank you Burger and Ana again! I had to redo the parrots eyes a few times... SO SMALL! But I managed after a few tries.

I forgot to show the before, here it is now.

I like the grey parrot; I wish there was a commercial figure available of this species.

These repaints are beautiful, they get better and better and every time!
So much detail, I love the Spanish fighting bull!
