He's just the right size for my smallest child rider too! (and as you can see, freestanding! Well...until he fell over from the extra weight on his back that is!)
This is just the first layer obviously and I'm sure there are loads of conformation issues I need to work out before I can get detailing but I'm quite pleased with him so far. I realised only after I'd put the ears on that I've sculpted him in more or less the same pose as Mr Vaskal. (Who is still being sanded by the way, he's got some very stubborn rough patches!)
My G3 Arab etchie is coming along rather nicely at the moment too. This is still only one side but he isn't taking as long as I thought he probably would.
Etchie's looking good! Your shetland's gonna be soo cute when he's finished, I can just tell :) something bugs me about his neck and between the front legs though... but big well done for making him free standing!
ReplyDeleteYeah, his raised foreleg is placed wrongly I think so I'll need to get the hacksaw out. XD
ReplyDeleteouch... :P
ReplyDeleteYou've really inspired me to have a go at sculpting =D *adds it to long list of stuff-i'd-love-to-do-if-I-can-ever-find-the-time*
Heh, go for it! I didn't think I'd be any good at it but it's done wonders for my confidence!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie he already is! Can't wait seeing you progress. :D
