Granite Bear - Indomitable Warrior Bear

I like the shorter claws way much better, more fitting and it still is looking great awsome purely awsome!:hmgrin:

WOW... That Bear looks awesome!!!

The shorter claws are better. This is looking great!

Wow... This is looking great!!!

I like the shorter claws as well and the armor is coming along nicely! I would take another look at the bear snout though - it's looking a bit piggish.

Terrific work! Can't wait to see it painted up. In my mind I see him as a polar bear with purple/silver armor - it it a testament to your awesome work that it inspires people's imaginations!

Thank you very much for your beautiful words and your advice!

You're right, I need to refine the nose!! :hmlol:

This is the first time that I sculpt the head of a bear and I forgot the side cuts of the nose.
I think that the nose seems to be a bit piggish for this reason. :hmwink:

Hi friends!

Two new pictures form the bear's land!

Improvements to bear's head (a little bit more big) and improvement to nose.

Looking great! Keep it up!

This is a picture of wip helmet. Today I will work again to finish it (perhaps...:hmgrin:)

The helmet can be esily removed from the bear's head.

Now the bio:

GRANITE BEAR - INDOMITABLE WARRIOR BEAR

Granite Bear is a member of an ancient race of warriors bears living in the snowy highlands in the higher mountain ranges of Eternia.
He belongs to the order of warriors SunMoon, the most renowned among his people, and the most feared by the enemies.

The people of the bears live almost symbiotically with another race, the Men of Ice.
This humanoid race has taught the first bears long time ago and now both races live together in a society very articulate and equal rights.

The primary task of the warriors bears is to protect all the inhabitants of the snowy mountains.
The shining armors wearing by warrior bears, are a gift of men of ice gunsmiths, grateful for the courage shown by the bears on several occasions.

The people of the snowy mountains is on good terms with the reign of King Randor.
Granite Bear often helps He-Man and the heroic warriors, when they are on a mission in the rugged and little-known territories of the snowy mountains.

Great enemy of Granite Bear and his people is Icer, a man of ice turned of evil and exiled from snowy mountains by his own race after the alliance with the wicked Skeletor.

That is beautiful. I want one!

Awesome. Anyone else get a golden compass vibe?

Wow he looks super cool finished. Amazing work.
