Hi all, where I'm still working on my other projects and trying to raise money for fur and other products anyways. Here's a head I finished on easter that I think turned out pretty good though I'm still seeing a great deal of errors and I'm interested in hearing some constructive critique on it.
This head has follow-me eyes, DVC plastic toony K9 nose, partially moving jaw, floppy ears, fimo partial jawset.
I'm not very happy with how the fur trimming came out but, I was using scissors... Though I think the texture gives it a sort of brindle boxer appearance. The ears were made with funfoam and I used some metal spacers to way them down in the final furring. The entire head with an exception of the ears and part of the mouth was hand sewn. I was a bit bad with it. I didn't pattern it. I just took the scrap fur I had and put it together like a puzzle. In parts I attempted to sew wrinkles in it, like at the brow and on the muzzle. When I did the muzzle I made more fur than foam for the sides and wrinkles so it looks more realistic. Thanks to some advice from someone on deviant I've stuffed some foam beneath the nose so it's pointing upward now unlike in the pictures. I don't know if you can tell it in the pictures but, one of the Bukram eyes is a little loose at the bottom from where I cut a little too close when I was trimming around the eye. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix it. The vision's really good and so is the ventilation though I'm still planning to put a fan in the top. Thanks to that person on deviant I've also learned that the ears are a little too centered though in my defense I was trying to figure out how to make it look like a boxer with floppy ears and not some demented bunny boxer. In addition to that I also had built the head in a bit unorthodox way so the vents were a little bigger though they don't seem to be visible in the pictures. Since I was just trying to find something the mouth is lined with part of a t-shirt though it seemed to do it justice. Right now I'm working on making it into a complete partial.
I'd love to get some feedback on this.
