Ecophant - this year's adventures in sculpture trails begins

[amberdreams]

This seemed to fit Drawesome's challenge #53 - Alternative surface rather well! The surface being primed fibreglass, of course.

This one is another Asian elephant for a trail in Southend on Sea. As always, don't repost this anywhere, as we're not supposed to show any details of our designs before the trail is launched.

The theme is endangered species in Asia - this side includes Cat Ba Langurs, an Asian elephant and the wee orangutan on the trunk. I was pretty pleased with the amount of progress I made today.I sprayed the base coat a few days ago, and today I spent about 4.5 hours on it. I'm hoping I can get it all done by the end of next week, so I can go see my mum.

None of these animals are completely finished so bear with me.

Ooooh, so cool! And the baby orangutan is really cute! What a great way to fulfill the challenge. :)

All so cool!!!!!!!! Wherever you are, if there's more to be seen like these, I would LOVE to be able to join that trail ride!

AAAH this is so amazing!! What a showstopper! My favorite part is the foliage, I think. I just looks so lush!

Wow! This looks great. How big is it?

Wow, this looks like a HUGE project, and it's so lovely and colorful! ♡♡♡ I adore the baby orangutan's cute pose. :D And I would love to see it on the trail when it's finished - maybe you can share it to the comm again. ♡

Beautiful! I love the cheeky orangutan on the trunk, fantastic placement. The colours are amazing and it will stand out and draw the attention of passers-by :D
I've seen some trails locally (West Mids); Bear Hunt, The Big Hoot (Owls); Penguin Parade Trail this year, and I didn't see it but I think Wales had a wolf/snow dog one. I think it's such a great experience for artists to create, to highlight charities/issues, and for the public including visitors to discover the sculptures and the places they're situated.

Looking great so far!

That's amazing! Some much bigger than I expected when I clicked the preview! Love the orangutan on the trunk.
