Hehe, it was not a compliment, just an observation. Your style seems to me kind of dark and experimental, also you improvise with different stuff and materials, so...  It's like making melodies out of anything you can hit on, so I can't find a better match than the "old-school industrial" in the vein of early Einstürzende Neubauten. Not the computerized metronomic electro-industrial stuff. That's different.

A tarsier out of a frog. Yes!

Oh, I can see that.
I saw someone on YouTube once use cables to create quills for a figure and I was wondering if I could use something similar for the tarsier's tail as I wanted something that was more flexible and couldn't break.
Alternatively I could have solved this by having it permanently on a base where the tail is also supported by it but then the "Bully handpainted" stamp on the underside wouldn't be visible anymore and I wanted to keep that as it might be cute.

Using a frog to turn into a tarsier is something really surprising and only possible from a very observantn person. I am sure you didn't find inspiration on fairy tales or novels where frogs are transformed into primates with a single kiss. My favorite transformation was from Princess Tiana but it seems I will have a new favorite.

Eyelids added now, I might give it ears tomorrow.

Wow- what an exciting project, I can't wait to see more!

I love the expression of disbelief on the bushbaby's face

Excellent idea! Using the frog you get those characteristic toe pads whithout having to sculpt them yourself. Can't wait to see more!

First time I sculpted a bit more than a slight alteration so it is far from good but here is the result of the attempt, the Philippine tarsier that I created from a Bullyland frog.

Oh my goodness it turned out so great! What a great idea and you not only pulled it off but it looks awesome.

What a great transformation! Super impressive! Wonderful work again, congrats!

Thank you everyone, I now finished the other animal I teased in the work in progress images, a Philippine eagle.

I'm flabbergasted!
The work on that frog is just stupendous! And now a Philippine eagle, golly

These are beautiful, you have such a talent for realistic colours and there are so many expertly blended into these two latest models! It makes them look alive!

I'm speechless!!!! That's the heaviest custom ever done to a figure in the whole history of the forum!

Also, the Philippine eagle, one of my most favourite raptors of the world, is really very well done!

Excellent both!

Stunning metamorphosis!!

I'm not motivated yet to continue this but at least it's primed now.

First of all, turning a frog into a tarsier is just . . . creative genius!! Plus it looks awesome, and kind of fierce, which is not usually how I see a tarsier. The Philippine eagle is also beautiful, your sculpture work is so seamless with the original models and improves them so much. Combine with the loose brushwork and attention to patterning and details, they look so real!

And personally I like the dinosaurs look awesome in solid black.

Thank you, yeah I suppose they have a certain elegance in this minimalist form but I'll make them flashier at some point, just too lazy to paint big figures at the moment and not feeling well in general.
I did however paint something over night, I'll take photos of that when the sun is up.

It's cloudy today so I won't get any better lighting (but also I'm very glad it's not as sunny as on the other days, otherwise I wouldn't want to get groceries today).

I painted a Mojö spotted hyena for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Looks like cheetah and hyena are measuring each other and dilucidating if it's better to fight or to flee.

Big improvement on this Mojo hyaena!

Beautiful repaint, with such realistic colours!
