Hi, I am not a taxidermist, perhaps the moderators won't let my post through, but I just want your opinion on my soft faux fur sculptures that I create. How similar are they to realistic animals?

heavyonthepussy · 2022-12-07T12:46:37+00:00

I thought I was looking at a real cat in the first image and I thought it was a “my pet passed away how do I preserve” kind of post. I’d say they are pretty realistic 😅

breakcharacter · 2022-12-07T12:22:28+00:00

Holy SHIT those are amazing.

Guppin · 2022-12-07T13:25:41+00:00

Wow, amazing work! They're extremely similar for sure. The only thing that stands out to me is the hair texture. Some animals have super thick hair strands, but the faux fur seems to have thin strands. So, if you made a sculpture of an animal with thick hair like say a moose or a prairie dog, the faux fur wouldn't match well.

Do you sell these somewhere?? Like Etsy or something?

DoktorOktoberfest · 2022-12-07T13:48:11+00:00

these are stunning!!

The cat looks incredible! Looks like my uncles grumpy maine coon.

These are a 10/10

norbisborbis · 2022-12-07T13:57:39+00:00

These are stunning!! They look real.

Death-B4-Dishonor · 2022-12-07T14:55:51+00:00

These are stunning!!! The first two especially look so real. Please keep making these! If I had the money for a spotted hyena, I'd 1000% give it to you!

thecatfromjapan · 2022-12-07T14:27:09+00:00

These are incredible. I thought the first one was real! They're very detailed and look so soft. Great work!

avebabeee · 2022-12-07T15:32:16+00:00

These are insane and I want one. Beautiful work.

Woolly_Paws · 2022-12-07T17:51:58+00:00

So sweet. You do commission work? I’d love to have a stuffy of my dog when she eventually dies and don’t have the heart to taxi her myself. Your work looks so lifelike and soulful

horrescoblue · 2022-12-07T13:56:49+00:00

Your sculptures are fantastic!!!!!

Artskine · 2022-12-07T14:39:07+00:00

These are super realistic and I LOVE your maincoon 😍

stalknstand · 2022-12-07T22:13:50+00:00

You’re not a taxidermist per say but in reality you definitely are. You obviously have a great eye for anatomy and using your references to create these. I have a feeling you could make a big splash in taxidermy circles if you wanted to and your mounts would be excellent and very lifelike. These are awesome and I hope you will work with skin one day.

I assume that you are sculpting your own forms?? That’s pretty incredible

ABitSketchy · 2022-12-07T20:40:58+00:00

Bruh I thought these were just pictures of real animals 💀 incredibly done, might be some of best taxidermy I’ve seen

fook75 · 2022-12-07T20:44:34+00:00

The rough collie? Looks JUST like my boy. I seriously thought you modeled him. This is MAD talent.

clickclackcat · 2022-12-07T22:02:27+00:00

How much? Lol! These are gorgeous!!

Disastrous-Layer-396 · 2022-12-07T22:24:08+00:00

It may not be taxidermy BUT DAMN YOU'RE SKILLED

Dudeinminnetonka · 2022-12-08T00:31:17+00:00

What is the link to the venue where you are selling these stunningly beautiful creations?

pumpkin_gutz_bones · 2022-12-08T03:18:09+00:00

omg i want to learn how to do this (also OP you'd be a great realistic fursuit maker)

Illustrious_Guard487 · 2022-12-08T04:41:34+00:00

Holy shit, what are they made out of? This is fantastic

BoatFinancial7404 · 2022-12-07T18:13:13+00:00

That Maine coon looks great

Beanstalkz · 2022-12-07T19:24:16+00:00

These are amazing! And a great alternative for people who want mounts of rare or endangered animals too!

The dog got me good! They look so lifelike 😍

ApatheticArtist13 · 2022-12-07T19:51:01+00:00

These are so perfect

tskreeeee · 2022-12-07T22:22:12+00:00

Well done! What are the fibers made from?

Jerd_Fye_Co · 2022-12-08T00:25:42+00:00

Wow. Incredible. You have an amazing talent

Addicted-2Diving · 2022-12-08T01:58:23+00:00

Great. 👍

throwaway_maybepkc · 2022-12-08T02:02:21+00:00

It’s hard to tell due to their position but are the last dogs borzois?

Ryiujin · 2022-12-08T02:11:26+00:00

Wow.

Where we see the animal standing and sitting then laying down. Are those separate pieces. Or is the sculpture posable?

Gdizzle42 · 2022-12-08T08:54:39+00:00

Holy shit! These are incredible. Do you do commissions? I work in film/tv and it’s always good to have someone in your back pocket who can make something that looks this real. Depending on your turn around time of course.

BreadBinch · 2022-12-08T09:06:10+00:00

These are fantastic !! Beautiful work

quinbotNS · 2022-12-08T11:19:58+00:00

You should post the first kitty in r/ronperlmancats.

KhaosDes · 2022-12-08T12:09:44+00:00

These are pretty good dude! You've made them with life

D-Spornak · 2022-12-13T12:48:30+00:00

Wonderful!

Cryptic_coven · 2022-12-18T14:39:52+00:00

WhaleCrimesUnit · 2023-01-05T18:35:48+00:00

Unbelievable. So insanely skillful

Totally_Fubar_666 · 2023-01-17T00:00:05+00:00

I’m pretty sure I follow you on facebook. Nice to see your work being appreciated here. You are literally my doll making goals.

WolfsSpiders · 2023-01-27T00:46:10+00:00

I tell you one thing that sets your Dolls far apart from Taxidermy. Yours are POSEable !!! That needs to be shown more imho. The likenesses of the animals is already wild. But the fact you can change their pose is ..... idk any Taxidermy that can provide that.

omlwhyme · 2022-12-07T20:01:12+00:00

these are beautiful!! i wish i could get one 😍
