Jumping kudus

[johnnyblues]

They look very good. I like the one in the rear better. If I may critique one thing I would have liked to see the tips slighter thinner. I own a Rick Taylor sculpture that I won on a bid many years ago at the New York SCI chapter awards dinner.

My second stab at sculpting. I'm about 90% done with some light clean up left. Do you like tight big loop curls or wide and flared? Based on basic measurements both bulls should have approx 65" horns. I have come to realize I'm much better at fence posts

Very impressive to say the least. Congratulations.

Awesome, I like the narrow tight curls, with stripes , and no fence . Forrest

I'm leaning to stripes, no fence myself. The fence is a temporary addition at the moment as I have not permanently attached it yet. I'm going to have another wax made and do the kudu jumping up as a single next time.

Were you looking at the clays or the bronzes? I tried to thin the tips out on the actual bronzes. The clay models were too hard to make thinner without other issues, but I tried to address this issue while in the wax stage. I too like the rear jumping one more of the two and that's why I will make a single out of him next run. Thanks for the critique.
