True, true, it could be an 80's hairstyle throwback as well, male or female.
But I do seriously love it. Is this going to be a kickstarter or is it going to be straight to store?

What makes you think it's male?

Anything female from a fantasy sculptor always has a G-cup mailed bra, surely?

Actually, it looks like it has a male anatomical detail visible just fore of the hind legs, in the 4th pic. Unless that's the far leg peeking under there.

Great figure, very savage.

Speaking of gender issues, there's a male harpy and several other gender-switched critters in the artwork of the recently released Pathfinder Second Edition Bestiary. I'm not sure if it's a nice touch, or off the mark, but it is what it is. Gender politics have reached our hobby.

Thank you all again for the comments. I thought of it as a male, but the strategic fur does mean it’s a bit ambiguous. Although I fancy maybe making a cub and another adult.

It’s resin cast now and I’ve got it on preorder in my store if anyone is interested. It should start heading out in a week or two...
