Can't wait to see how this one fills out - I know how hard this species is to sculpt (tried it once, there's a thread somewhere) but yours is looking a helluva lot better already than mine did!
I should try another scultp and seeing work like yours makes me want to but it is so hard to realise in 3D what you see in your minds eye and the organic and naturalistic animal that you think that you are making comes out like something from Schleich!
Anyway, got diverted there; thanks for posting and like I said looking forward to seeing the finished figure.
