It is from a border grafted bird base. I want to run it through you guys to see if this is original enough.... don't know if other people have similiar design like this....

Thanks
Alex

very good!!!!!!

oh you did a very nice job

Nice swan, but I think the recognition problem is the pose.

I've included some pictures to show what I mean.

The first picture is a photo that approximates your model; your model is a fairly good fit, but most people don't see standing swans. Instead, they see swans sitting in the water.

The distinguishing feature is the graceful S-shaped neck. The high wings on the side, also add to the distinctiveness. But, my simple suggestion is to make the neck a little more S-shaped.

Very good!!!

Excellent wings! I do have to agree that some neck adjustments could help. The final shaping just seems like it is an odd pose for a swan? That might be part of your recognition issues...

The wings look brilliant, very clean, flowing and neat. I also like the captured stance, although I do not think that's entirely realistic.

Overall, very intuitive model, especially from a traditional base.

It's been a while, but here is my latest design:

It was done for a customer... But I want to post it here to claim ownership in case he doesn't give me the creamy
