Hello everybody!
OK, these are not exactly figures, but well...
On holliday in Turkey, I did some small in-between projects since my wife forgot to put the box with my figures into the luggage. So I had to do some sculpting there for which I didn't need stock heads or hands and I could find enough references on the internet: animals! I've always been very much interested in them, and I have found the work of Jean-Jacques Delorme to be very inspiring so I already had some ideas in the back of my head.
The first one is very simple and small: a red-billed oxpecker (small bird that eats insect of big mammals) on a square of rhino-skin (which only serves as a vertical groundwork). As the background is only 2 by 2 cm large, it is quite small and was a quick job. I will have more work painting the details on it though!
The eye of the rhino will also be looking back at the bird, and I want to call it "if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours!"
The second is a pelican, more or less 1/35th scale. I want to paint him as a victim of an oil-disaster, thus completely covered in oil, including all of the groundwork. This will be a real challenge! Any ideas?
So just some small in-between projects, but really fun to do!
All comments and criticisms are very much appreciated.
Best wishes!
Marijn
