Awesome work. I never would have guessed it was so small.

Wow mighty impressive work, i love the title -descriptive monikers like that always make me smile .
If you hadnt mentioned its only 5 cm high i wouldnt have known such is the detail and the impression of size and strength the pose gives. Really great textural effects too.
Sorry to hear about the past problems with your eye, hope it doesnt cause you any further problems.

Thanks Gurch!
Strangely enough after the 2 eye operations my eyes and hands didn't want to work together and I couldn't draw a damn thing!
I needed a new creative outlet so I gave sculpting a go, and after doing it for 2 years my ability to draw came back!

Bravo, glad to hear sculpting worked to aline the hand and eye coordination.
I imagine you could sculpt more precisely with your eyes closed that i could with mine open. I keep saying im gonna try some sculpting again , i even bought some supersculpty a few months ago but not toyed with it yet.

It sucks sculpting small doesn't it Andreas?
This turned out beautifully!
Excellent work my friend!
Take care

Thanks Randy, it does suck, I have much admiration for mini sculptors
I always wanted too try but I am losing vision in my right eye due to a tumour operation in 2005,
I thought it's now or never

Damn Andreas...I didn't know you're losing vision in your right eye. So sorry to hear that my friend.
Working tiny is not only a strain on the vision, it's a strain on your neck and shoulder muscles.
I'm all about working bigger.

I'm used to it now, at least it's happening slowly so I can adjust.
I finished a new sculpt yesterday and I swore I would go twice as big from now on

I'm working on a miniature eagle for a client right now. I HATE working small.
I swear my neck muscles are going to snap.
