After a few months of work and an even longer period of research + trial and error, I am happy to reveal my first finished partial, Mena the fennec fox/wolf mix!
She features follow-me eyes, very wiggly ears, and glued seams. (I'll be switching to sewn seams next time.. Too many glue burns to count came from working with glued seams. ;n; )
Anyway, here are a few larger pictures of the individual parts:
Handpaw. (I'm not a huge fan of them; and I'll be remaking them in march or april. I've misplaced my pattern, and I actually need to make one more. )
My tail.
My head, which still needs a few touchups + a neck. Unfortunately, I can't work on those touchups until 2015, because I won't be able to buy new fur until then. ;n;
The full partial (along with the outfit I'll wear with her) viewed from the side to demonstrate follow me eyes.
So far I'm aware that the nose is rather lopsided, the handpaws should be remade, and the head is VERY large. Additionally, my ventilation is in no way spectacular, (although I didn't really expect it to be, with a long muzzle and how much foam I used on it. ) and I was wondering if there were any methods to improving it? (aside from a fan) I already have ear vents and two small vents in the back. behind the ears. Are there any more things I could add to/subtract from it, or general critique? I'd really appreciate any advice, even if it's a little harsh.
Aaand while I'm at it, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who put up with me asking so many questions, and gave me advice on my base along the way!! it definitely helped, and I really appreciate it. ;w;
