Thank you all!
I want to show you an other sneakpeek yet. I'm not only working on African animals, so here you can see my first unfinished Indian animal (mother and calf). Hope you'll like them:

This is a very interesting project but I would have a request... Indian rhinos are common animals in the Toy world and even if your sculptures are very fine, it is still one more Indian rhino. The real rare rhinos are the Sumatran and Javan rhinos. Joan already made a Sumatran rhino model for us. Wouldn't it be fun for you (and us...) to make a Javan rhino and calf ?

I agree with Christophe, if you make a Javan rhino, you'll keep enriching your Asian fauna and all other good reasons Christophe gave. Also, and although I don't understand perfectly how it works, you can use the work already done and with little changes turn it in a Javan rhino, both species are very alike.
Another point is that contrarily what happens with elephants that are poorly sculpted by major brands, Indian rhinos from Papo and Safari are really nice.

Thank you all for the comments!

Yes, I think you and Christophe are right. The reason I those for the Indian, is the lack of good reference pics of the Javan. But you are right. With some little changes I can turn an Indian one in a Javan one. I think I'll do this in some time.

But now I want to show you the nearly finished Watusi cow. Only the udder need some work, and I must make him hollow, but that to things can only on a stronger computer, so that's for next weekend. I hope you'll like her:

WOW WOW WOW. Do you make some copies of your figures? I really like the lying watusi. Amazing.

Thanks! Yes, because it's made digital, it can be copied infinitely with the 3D printer. I think she'll be available next weekend on my site.

Thank you. What's the name of your program? Is this possible to make a figure with the program before to do the connexions between the 3D printer and the computer ? How cost a model of the lying watusi to know?

I used the program ZBrush. What do you exactly mean with your next question? The price I don't know yet. Shapeways, the company who print the models, calculate the price with the cm3 material the model is made of. So, I have not made the model hollow yet, so I don't know how many cm3 material this model will be. And it depends of the scale you want.

Thank you for your answer. My question was; Is this possible to start to make a model with the computer without being connected to a 3D printer? So we can start making images by internet before to have the printer?

Yes, you can make a model without connected to a 3D printer. I don't own a 3D printer by myself, so that's no problem. I place my models on Shapeways, they have 3D printers and everyone can order the models, and will be send home printed.

Very nice ankole  

My only suggestion is: I feel there is something weird here (see below) but it is hard for me to explain.  

Thank you miniNATURE, do you know how can I download this program free ? Must I pay to get this program?

Wow, this lying watussi is really lovely work!!! Congratulations!

The Watusi is MARVELOUS!!!!

Wow, this watusi is awesome!

Thank you all!

Yes, I can feel the same. I'll take a look at this point next weekend.

This isn't a free program. Maybe you can try: Sculptris. It's a free version by the same company.

Wow, amazing   

Will you make horses ??   

Thank you miniNATURE.

Thanks, I think I will sometime, but they are not on top of my list. Maybe a zebra will be my first horse.

Oh, I love the Watusi cow! Such a beautiful pose, I'd just adore to have a model of this.

Oh, I am really impressed with that figure! :shock It has a wonderful pose and a quite impressive sculpting!
So nice that you'll turn your rhino in a Javan.

Wow the Watusi looks amazing       ... very well proportioned.

All of your creations look fantastic! You're really talented.

Great      

Thanks for all your compliments!

The Watusi is released now on my site  

wonderful model     

I just ordered mine!
