This is a pretty good size.. on the large scale end of the pieces I typically create. It measures around seven inches long by four tall.

I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in a sculpture like this, it seems most people are interested in dragons and gryphons. But then once and a while I need to create what /I/ want to create, not what the general public seems to want. This is just a work in progress picture. I'm about ready to bake at this point in the process. You may have seen winged tigers before by me, they have thus far been depicted in paintings. I had thought about doing sculpture based on winged cats and wolves in the past, but I wasnt fully motivated until before Christmas 2006 when a customer suggested I make sculptures like this. I had endeavored to do so after the holidays and I did! I think Ill paint him normal orange and white.

VERRRRY cool! I don't know why more people wouldn't be interested in something like this! I happen to be sentimental about winged cats, myself...there are a couple of books for little kids called Catwings and Catwings Return by Ursula K. LeGuin (and apparently sequels I didn't know about at that age), and they had these wonderfully detailed illustrations of the winged cats. That's what this reminds me of...even though it's a tiger.

Here's an example of Catwings. Trust me, the illustrations are much more striking in person. http://hem.passagen.se/peson42/lgw/img/covers/catwingsreturn1999.jpg

Jolie Says:

Actually, I would be rather interested in this sculpture. I have a thing for winged felines. LOL

HunterBahamut Says:

Wow!
This looks great, and from what I could tell this seems to me a much more detailed sculpture than you've done before, especially in the wings. This looks rally great so far.
