So, I might be trading for a resin base because I've always wanted to work with one! But I have a few questions -- I've seen a handful of resin bases modified for toony eyes. I've seen people both cut the eye holes bigger (which I'd rather not do because I'd probably hurt myself or destroy the base or do the eyes uneven something) OR, build up around the eyes with foam to make bigger eye sockets I guess? Just wondering which would be the best method for attempting this.
Also, how much do you guys typically foam up your resin bases? It's a canine base and I want it to be kind of a generic canine (possibly to sell as a premade I've got a lot of scrap fur so hoping this will be a fun project) and on the toony side. This looks like more of a realistic sculpt but I've seen some people change the shape pretty drastically with foam. I'm not looking to go crazy, but just wondering. I've seen pics where the entire head is covered, and at the same time I've seen some with just a little bit here and there and so wondering if there are typical places people build up like the cheeks or?
Hope those questions make sense. :)
