Completed Rhino fury

This is a really cool bust by Forged Monkey that I just had to have. Even though the trio of pictures appears small in the post they expand to a much larger size once you click on them and a new windo opens, click on them again and they are even larger. I hope you like him.

I'm totally digging the tonal quality of the skin

Love the drool Mike. Puts my dragon to shame.

Thank you sir. Sorry about the main pic taking up so room. I had no idea it would do that. I was trying to make it easier to view all the pics at once instead of clicking on every single one. Gees, that's what I get for thinking!

Thank you friends for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it.

The drool is done by taking a few very thin fiber-optic threads (I think fishing line would work the same) and gluing them in place. I then use my acrylic gel medium and paint it on the threads building up thickness where I want it (like around the mouth). It is super easy and very fast. This is the same technique I use for my tiny waterfalls like on the "52 card pickup" piece I did not long ago.

Thanks again!

Hello Mike:

This horney devil looks like it was a lot of fun to paint. I love the tonal
variations you have painted. You definitely have an artists eye, mate,
