I’ve watched this like 5 times! it’s absolutely incredible. as someone who loves marine animals and has studied them for most of my life, it looks exactly like the real thing. you have so much talent!
Nicely sculpted. The only issue I have with it is that the coral is too small. This species of hippocampus cannot hide/blend in on thin exterior branches. They hide among the thick stalks where the buds and polyps are nearly identical in size to their body diameter. This allows them to freeze and appear as another bud to the coral branch when predators approach. Your sculpt has the seahorse precariously exposed to would-be predators. That is not the way these fish are seen in the wild during studies. Aside from that issue, the sculpt itself is otherwise quite detailed, as is the case with all of your work.
Thank you for your insights and the compliment, my friend. However, the reasons why I presented this seahorse clinging on a thin/slender coral stalk/branches are 1st - the Seahorse is my main subject and is to be the center of attention. 2nd - is that I have had used several "real" photo references where the pygmy seahorse is clinging near the tip of the gorgonian coral, so if we say (can't hide/blend) means we're ignoring the fact that it can choose to change places around the coral whenever they like to. I can be more technical and accurate if I want but this is an art and I choose to present it in a simple and in a fun way😊
As a sculptor and creature geek myself, your models are like museum display quality!
Thank you so much ,my friend! 😊
