And hopefully it will be the last time. orz
Anyway, here I am again. I won't be getting fur for a while, but I still wanted to make sure I had these heads closer to done since they've been sitting here since January doing pretty much nothing but taking up space on the table ehehe. I've done some more shaping and adjusting since last time I posted, and I wanted to get tips again just to make sure they're at least close to fur-worthy.
As always, I'll start with the puffin. I had the awesome opportunity to go down to my local aquarium and take literally 100 pictures of the tufted puffins there. Upon doing so, I noticed that my beak was way too wide, so trimming that down was the main adjustment I made. I also trimmed down the cheeks and added a bit more neck padding so I think I like the shape of the head now.
Upon taking pictures of the mask itself I noticed the smile was way crooked, so that's already been fixed ehehe. |D
I think I'm still going to trim a bit of the front of the face, though, because I also noticed that I could at least see a little bit of the aquarium puffins' eyes from the front. Speaking of eyes, I got some awesome ones from the help you guys gave me last time, so thanks a lot.~

And now for the owl again. I determined that one of my problems was that the face disk didn't go down quite as far as I had hoped, so I went ahead and made it a little taller. I might trim it a little more, though, since it looks a bit distorted, but only from the front... is that a good idea? Other than that I think I did pretty well... right? Still not entirely confident here because I've never worked drawings or anything with owls before. I think it's cute though.
