Wow, that's another story - no more glossy finish, finally some texture, much better expression. That's an okapi

Another beautiful repaint Harriet!

He's beautiful, Harriet! :)

Congratulation Harriet I hope Mrs. Pariente will see the pics

"According to Sir Walter Scott's 1813 epic poem, The Bridal of Triermain, Castle Rock of Triermain played host to King Arthur and a group of fairies. One of the fairies was sent to sleep by Merlin as punishment, when she was eventually awakened by Sir Roland de Vaux. "

...When a fairy sleeps in Cumbria is considered a punishment, Kiki!

Looks amazing. There is such a wonderful richness to the color now. Another wonderful repaint. If only Safari could paint them like that.

I really like the paint work you do. Can you please tell me the type/brand of paint you use, to see if I can get some where I live. I sculpt myself but I can't really paint, and I wanna learn.

NICE, this a lot better than before
congrats

excellent work--glad to see you got rid of the "shineyness"

now it looks better!!!
