Luckily you recognize Fllipper and not Lassie
Thx Peter, showing these steps gives you an idea of the amount of work, otherwise only two pictures in three weeks .
Flipper is progressing the last few days.
After this it was time for the other side, same process, setting out the contours.
After the other side was in the same stage I continued on his mouth.
Adding some nostrils
And playing for Paul give him some teeth.
Appearently in the 17th century they thought a dolphin looked like this and had scales I add some scales.
The head is nearly finished except for some finetuning.

Great work on the carving.
Thx gents,
It is now first cutting the other head before I start cutting the tails. If I don't do it in this order it becomes to fragile and I am afraid I break a tail somewhere down the road.

I think I'll start simple; with a cube or so.
