Zebra stallions battle!

Recently I finished this pair I´ve sculpted for Phill. Done with Fimo clay in 1:22 scale, they were added dewlaps to fit Cape zebras (not shown on these pics, sorry). Will be painted soon ^^

Hope you like them!

..but...Cape Zebra?
You mean the Mountain Zebra ?
I just look like the models on the Plains zebras :) ... silhouette, and the mouth ,, the ears are too short that it was the Mountain Zebra ...
I look forward to painting stripes

Let me know when you're done painting,

Best,

The shape of the zebra does not fit the Mountain Zebra Species !
Aspect has only to Plains Zebra ,
I'm disappointed!, It has no shape Hartmanns or Cape Mountain Zebra .. I'm sorry, but really you made ​​a mistake ... sorry ...
Look at the shape of the ears Plains zebra and the Hartmanns or Cape Zebra, you see the difference in zebras ears and the shape of the bearing ?

Study books and photos, as species of zebra, not only differ stripe design ... ..sorry

Besides, if you mean the Cape Mountain Zebra, this species does not have such a large mane.
I suspect that there You looking for modeling photo in Cape zebra, only to Hartmann's Zebra ...
Look at the pictures on the internet, I really know from experience that the Cape species-very small mane, and you've done so much as it is seen in Hartmanns Mountain Zebra, messed up these two species ...
Watch out for painting of stripes, because these two species are also somewhat different arrangement of stripes on the rump and back, I have to see the end result, because it is not, unfortunately, Equus zebra zebra ... I think that it certainly is a species: Equus Zebra Hartmannae.

Best,

WOW! I´m speechless! (o)):

Thank you Martin :)

Best,

There´s no need of being so rude. I accept criticism but well said. Please, be a bit more polite nex time.

I see the ears are too short (working on them to fix them now) but I can´t see big differences on the anatomy. In fact I used photos as reference. I would have loved my zebras to be perfect, but the pose was really difficult and did my best. I tried to show the more angled Cape´s croup (Hartmann has a more round croup), also the Hartmann has a more donkey shaped forehead which I tried to avoid.

Sumarizing, I know stripes are not the only difference between the zebra species, from nostril to tail there are subtle differences wich I found difficult to represent in this figurine because of the action and movement of the pose. I have a bunch of ref photos from different angles in rorder to make them fit the specie I want, even for shapes and stripes.

Don't worry Silvia, you could always take some lesson from him... https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t8628-my-new-custom-animal-species
