Title: snow leopard, oryx, okapi, baby gnu, and other zoo stuff
Post by: Luis on February 07, 2011, 07:35:59: OK first and foremost these customs are NOT mine

having said that, i'm proud to say they were made by a mexican fellow named Daniel Leyva

as a fan of the zoo theme he, like many of us, would like to see more rare/endangered animals in the PM animal kingdom

here are some of his wonderful customs, starting with the snow leopard

Title: Re: snow leopard, oryx, okapi, baby gnu, and other zoo stuff
Post by: Luis on February 07, 2011, 07:47:44: he's made other customs (like zoo enclores and stuff), but i found these to be the prettiest ones

i liked them so much that i couldn't resist sharing his beautiful creations with you

the body parts of the okapi apparently came from the giraffe, and the oryx body is a modified gnu

that's all for now

Post by: Daniela on February 08, 2011, 11:50:49: Luis, it sounds, as if your friend has done more than these wonderful animals?

Does he have a website? Or where are more pictures of this great artwork?

I love them all!

Hi Daniela,

he doesn't have a website, he's a member of playclicks and that's where the posted the pictures - he lives an hour away from where i live and we're friends on facebook, that's how i got to know him

i've been begging him to make some copies of these animals for myself and he accepted but he's not a very active internet user and i doubt that will happen any time soon ::)

he has done other animal conversions, like baby meerkats and koalas with moveable heads - should i post those too?
Title: Re: snow leopard, oryx, okapi, baby gnu, and other zoo stuff
Post by: Daniela on February 08, 2011, 18:38:46: Thank you Luis, I would love to see them! :wave:

And I will take a look at playclicks. ;)

I think it's the eyebrows! :lol: I love it, too!

Thanks for the other pictures, Luis. I love the baby warthogs. I think I'm going to have to copy those for my own use. I've been thinking of trying to do some custom red river hogs. One of my favorite animals. :love:

Post by: Luis on February 15, 2011, 05:30:45: Daniel really appreciates all of your comments (i passed this link onto him so he could read your feedback himself)

he says he doesn't plan to create a website for his customs but he'll upload all of them on his personal facebook -

for whomever wants to add him on FB to be aware on his latest creations: he says to feel free to ask me for his email to find him (pm me as i wouldn't like to post his profile link publically)

:)
