Artist's Comments

Here's the hyena, all painted.

Again, like the proportions of the sculpture, the departure from realism in the paint job is deliberate.

This sculpture is about 8.5" tall, 9" long and is mounted on a painted wood base.

This was painted in part with my Badger Anthem airbrush using acrylic based airbrush paints, and detailing was done with a brush and regular acrylic paints. After all the painting was done, this got a coat of matte varnish, and then some gloss varnish here and there for accent.

It's a little less yellow in person, but I like the warmish cast in these photos, so I went with it.

Next sculpture? Either a cartoony badger or bull terrier.

It reminds me of the Lion King. :D Such a great movie. But I bet your sculpture is a lot smarter than the hyenas in that movie :XD:

Spiffriffic paint job there RG, specially on those spots he’s sportin’ there.

His overall tones are fitting for a hyena and wonderfully bright too. All the details are painted in excellent quality, particularly with the orange eyes which fits nicely with his brown and golden coat colors.

Very nice (BADGER) work as usual (DO A BADGER NEXT) RGYoung. Can’t wait (BADGER) to see your (BADGER, BADGER) next piece. :)

Looks totally awesome! My favorite part is his eyes. They're creepy, in a good way. Of course, the spots and the gradient of colors are really cool, too.
