Barasingha project

The barasingha or Duvaucel deer or swamp deer is a deer from India and Nepal. The name of this species recalls that of Alfred Duvaucel, French naturalist

My friends in my collection of deer, I had a great wish to try to make this magical animal to display it with my tigers in diplay, when this project was carried out.
First find some beautiful pictures of this deer.

Then decide on a pose, which is more difficult.      
I finally spotted a pose that totally seduced me,
not on a photo of a naturalist, photographer but of a simple drawing!

The choice is now found more than to pass this drawing from dream to reality, I couldn't get it out of my head since I saw it.
He has a judicious pose,
because none of my cervids pose this dynamic. WAHOO!      
Fantastic, the project can finally start!

I am ever so excited for the result!

Oh this will be so exciting can't wait!!
And that pose is just so beautiful, it will look amazing!

Considering you want to display it together with tigers, I think it won’t be hard to get that challening pose, luckily you can get it naturally.
That is an exciting project, these antlers, these legs, teh fur and those beautiful ears. Very good choice, other deer species deserve atention.
I am really excited about it!

Very exciting!!!

Luc, this is cruel

I can not wait to see what you are making !!!

I already thank everyone for this enthusiasm for my project;
Not that I do it on purpose to feed my tigers, but I already have two close to pouncing from Papo;
My team at the Big Home Safari Animals Replicas has already captured hunting scenes with tigers.
Antelope Cervicapre and Nilgaut from Collecta and Indian Gaur from Mojö

Maybe a panther would also be welcome to take this safari photos!
I have an African from Schleich who feeds her young with a Schleich's thomson gazelle too.

Enough joked, here is the structure of the animal, I used a wine stopper for the inside of the body and use less mass and make it lighter!
For the moment nothing complicated, the woods are included in the structure, we will see later: I often see my friends, they often fit together parts and model them separately;
Perhaps learn this technique which undoubtedly facilitates the assembly and especially the molding.
I would study and learn this technique later when I progressed in sculpting and modeling.
I send you an image of my cervid and leave you because my wine uncorked for the cork begins to take effect and my gestures are less precise ...
I even start to say goodnight until next time.

WOW!! You have only done the wire and it already looks amazing!! I'm so so excited to see what happens next!!

Dear Lucky luke

BEAUTIFUL DEER.hAVE A GOOD TIME TO MAKE IT.i WISH YOU THE BEST.iF YOU MAKE SOME COPY i WILL BE INTERRESTED TO BUY ONE
LITTLEBEAR



.

I am loving this new technics. The wire, pieces of wood, bottles of wine and some cork! Am I considering to start sculpting? :drunk: Nooo.
We are already seeing the start of a great design and please do not put wings in this model, OK? :)

Thank you very much my friends for your encouragement!        
Little Bear, yes I chose a dynamic pose in relation to my collection of deer.  
As for a copy, it's a bit premature, I've never made a copy and I think it will be a real headache given the complexity of the subject.      
As I often see in sculpture professionals, many subjects are made up of associated elements for assembly after molding!    
On the other hand, if someone offers me to mold prototypes,  
Pm me  

Rogerio as far as the wings are concerned, no I promise you it is excluded except if you want a mythological or fantastic figure that can be done.  
As for home made wings, I'll keep you in suspense for 2021 perhaps.

My friends, here is my project which is progressing, I am starting to revamp the body and give it shape.
Excuse the photos are not too great, because I use my laptop.
It is always an immense joy to create something from nothing a project, a sculpture, a drawing a recipe  ...  
my barhasinga slowly comes to life ......!

I'll let it dry quietly then get back to it

Your Barhasingha looks beautiful now- it gets better and better with every step!
What an amazing sculpture and I am really looking forward to see how it progresses next!

Thanks a lot Bonnie, can't wait too

This weekend I worked on it, let's see what it says with a magnificent Papo tiger ready to pounce on its prey!      
poor barhasinga, maybe he'll be able to free himself!    
Anyway he still has to get under my hands,  
he already has a proud look

Beautiful model, it already looks so wonderfully good!
And poor Barhasinga!
Can't wait to see what happens next with your model!

Wow, never thought the tiger could be used like that! I hope Will ever Papo make a lioness in that same pose?
However, the big star here is your deer, it is wonderful and I am glad it is not a tigress instead. Allez, allez Jean! Allez, allez Jean! We want more!

Thanks a lot my friends.        
Yesterday I advanced a bit on my model, coat structures and the base, wood.  
Happy because my dream is taking shape; this morning I woke up a Schleich panther to pose with my barasinga, shame Rogério she remains passive,  
it is for the comparison of the size of the deer!

It's getting so good, more and more detailed, and with such amazing fur texture!!
I'm really excited to see what happens next!

Thank you Bonnie , you have to be a little patient, because I work in successive layers, and I now wait for it to dry and harden unlike sulpey that you have to bake in the oven, it's a choice!
Is this the correct one?

I use sculpey but i think you have definitely made the right choice because it already looks so so good!
You must have a lot of patience! and talent!

Oh it's larger than I expected but this is another figure of yours I want, and there's not even paint on it yet!

Lovely as always

Waow! verey beautiful deer with thin legs, antlers and a very natural (and difficult!) attitude. It fits very well with this tiger from Papo and I am impatient to see it with its colours!
