BONGO sculpt

I've been wanting to make a Bongo for a while, but I didn't have any clay and couldn't find the type I wanted, but now I'm back in action and have a good stock of clay. So here is my Bongo... Unpainted of course, she's still drying. Not in scale with Schleich, she's quite big.

That nose, it's so cute ! I just want to squish it

I really like the detail in the ridge and the face

Thanks Rio.
Do you (everyone) think she looks alright all round? I mean, is there anything that stands out which you don't like about her? I can't change all that much now, but I can add clay.

The ears and horns need the final touch-ups!(so they don't have holes)
In the rest,it is spectacular!

Very nice sculpture, you are getting better with each animal you do!

Thank you WH!
Yes, you're right WH, I can see that on the horns, I'll smooth them out. But the ears I can't see what you mean, they're supposed to be fluffy inside.

I fatterned her up a little on the right side (if you were facing her) since I took those pictures, because I thought she looked too thin there.

Very nice Harriet .

It seems everybody here will find a way to have a new bongo before 2011... well, everybody except me I guess

I'm waiting for your paint and another good pics with warm light as usual

Ohh!Sorry!I thought they weren't finished,didn't know you wanted to make 'em fluffy!
Can't wait to see the final result!

It's OK WH, once they're painted you might see what I intended. I might touch them up a little though.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it painted. The nose and mouth are amazing.

Finished painting her now, I'll upload pics soon!
