Buffalo

[ClayB]

I just finished up the carving, embossing, hairing on the buffalo from Robb Barr's video. Still have to figure out how I want to try and color this one. On the video, he made a white buffalo. Lots of different hair lengths and textures on the buffalo so I learned some new techniques again.

I took a bunch of photos while I was doing this one. I hope they will show some of the things that you can learn from Robb in his videos. He really came up with some neat ways to create realistic looking animals. I am not sure the best way to share the photos on this forum, but as soon as I figure that out, I will get it done.

Decided to color it like Robb did in the video. It is really hard to get a decent photo of. The white is dry brushed really lightly on top of the hairs. It is kind of weird, depending on the direction you look at it, it can be almost all brown to almost all white. Not sure if I like it yet, but it was fun to do. If I do another one, I will color it like a normal buffalo.

I told some of you that I would put together some in-progress pictures of an extreme embossed project. I took a lot of photos of the buffalo I finished up this past weekend. I am not sure what the best way to put them up on this site is yet, so for now I have them on my own photo site with brief descriptions of what is going on. You can see them at

This is my free photo storage site and some people have troubles getting into it, so if you have problems, let me know and I will help.
