What a perfectly beautiful wolf this is Alain! I love the intricate colours of the coat. drunken

Well done! Applause

For some reason the paints I am using are just not cooperating with my model.
Last night I spent 4 hours under a bright spotlight slowly painting in the colour, thinking it was looking good. And then at the end of it, deary me Sad

I think I may have to buy a different brand of paint to suit my painting style. The paints I have are excellent quality, but they are just not suited to the way that I hold the brush or apply the paint.
I think I need something heavy and thick that goes on in a thick block of even colour.

Gorgeous wolf Alain! You have improved 10,000 fold!

I am sorry Kiki, I knew it was a short faced bear... I have no idea why I typed Andean... :geek:I swear I am losing my marbles.

It's a very smart choice to leave the eyes as they were cheers

Here are my 3 contributions before I leave on a trip. I have not sealed them yet as I may still fiddle with them... but they are essentially done. 3 variations of African wild dog coats!

I love the African wild dogs cheers

They make such a nice set!
Also, the canadian wolf looks fantastic, Caracal!
As does the bear and Kikimalou's other creations. Applause

So many people getting things done. I really need to sit down and find some creative time to work on mine. Hopefully my paints will cooperate, I've only done experiments with it and not a complete piece so far. Fingers crossed. Hope you will find paint that works too sunny!

Very big improvement on the Mojo one and the Safari ones, although rather atypic, are very beautiful too! cheers

oh your hunting dogs look excellent Paige! well done!!
I really like how the white one stands out. The colour markings and placement is really good!

Nice flock Paige, three model, three personalities. Applause

And now I can't watch safely my own Lycaons Wink

Thank you everyone! My intention was to produce the 3 extremes in coloration for these animals, a mostly black (Mojo), mostly tan/orange (Adult Safari), and mostly white (Pup Safari). Now my pack has all sorts of coat patterns and colors and shades. Very Happy

Kiki, I would LOVE to see some wild dogs made a victim of your brushes! You do very fine work indeed.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], yes I did know that! My explanation for my typing mistake is that I must have been pondering this when writing my reply and miswrote Andean for Short-faced. My silly brain these days often makes such stupid mistakes...

Back to wild dogs... I think it was the Bronx zoo (I uave never visited in person, only seen on a tv show) had a wild dog with white patterned just so, that it looked like she was wearing a sweater. :) Hence my inspiration from many years ago, now fleshed out in reality!

OK, so these so peculiar patterns exist! cheers

Yay! All three dogs look great! Congratulations Paige, wonderful work! cheers

And now you have a beautiful pack Very Happy

So many beautiful figures here! The blending on the wolf, the wild dogs... we have a lot of talent on this forum!

I have a cold and shut myself in the room yesterday afternoon for a nap. That gave me time to finish the harpy eagle kittygriff in peace. Here it is.

excellent work Kelly! That was a lot of intricate details in there to paint. I didn't realise he was just a handful! From the photos I thought he was a huge sculpture Very Happy

I love how the coat is subtle in colour and compliments those very beautiful shining eyes!

Fascinating harpy! what a hypnotic whatch (regard hypnotique)! cheers

I didn't know the Equus simplecidens till now, I love your pattern interpretation Annette! It makes me think to some painting caves draws! cheers

Please where did you find these models and what is the scale?

Oh no I just forgot it! It is as fine as its comrades! cheers

Kelly and Annette! These are all so great! The fine detailing, the blending, the patterns... you both did a fantastic job!

This is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]of the two I repainted Alain, it is a Britains zebra. It had lost most of the stripes already.

I changed the angle of the tail, cut off most of the mane, removed the seams with a scalpel, added a convex face, and filled in the eye holes to make for larger eyes to be painted.

and last year I repainted the zebra as Mongolian Wild Horses
