OOAK (one of a kind) unicorn or kirin sculpture.

He is about 7 or 8 inches tall to the tip of his horn. He was made from scratch from polymer clay over wire and foil, painted in acrylics and haired with tibetan lamb fur. He has blue inset resin eyes, and his horn, legs, tail, and ears are made from a flexible clay to prevent breaking.

He is one of the furriest sculptures I have done- the mane goes all around his neck and between his front legs. He was a lot of fun to make.

He is not for sale- he was a commission/ trade with someone on another forum.

Thanks for looking!

Very well-crafted figure, and I like the choice of tibetan lamb fur - it has a very lovely vibrant wave to it that only adds to the realism of the creature.

Next time you should try to make the scales a little more even and orderly like a reptiles, and blend them more with the body so they don't look stuck on.
The tail bothers me - it looks like a cardbord tube was slid on, it doesn't look like it can move and flow with the tail itself; the style of the tail is interesting, but maybe try using a different material to make the bare part.

Over-all a well-crafted base figure and good use of outside material in the mane. I also really like the color-scheme and the detail on the face. Well done!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful and kind comment! It really means a lot to me. Scales have been really difficult for me, I'm hoping to make some dragons or something similar to get more practise. As for the tail, I see what you mean. I don't want to make excuses although from this angle the tail looks different than it is. The entire thing was made from flexible clay in a long snake, and then the fur was stuck over top in 3 tufts, one at the tip, one right at the base and one in the middle. The entire thing is poseable, so I'm not sure why I took the photo at this angle. I tried to find a photo of the back of him to show you but this is the best I have: [link] I think my main mistake was making it too thick, but the random tufts of fur on it were sort of a weird idea too. The ones I have done recently don't have the tuft of fur in the middle of the tail. Again, thanks so much, it means a lot to me that you took the time to make suggestions and leave such a detailed comment. :heart: I have a few more kirins in the works so will keep all your advice in mind! :)
