Wild dog Delta
Lycaon pictus
Also called the Cape hunting dog, these canids native to sub-Saharan Africa are extremely skilled hunters that work together as a pack. Their scientific name, Lycaon pictus, means painted wolf, and each dog has its own unique colouration like a fingerprint. To capture that, I had fun with these sculptures, allowing the patina process to be free with a lot of chance effect.
