Hello everyone!
I'm looking for some good critique on a kirin base I'm working on for a customer. We didn't want to use a horse base because it's just too "thick" around the muzzle, so this one has more of a deer-like muzzle with a horse nose and a combination of the two for facial structure. A kirin isn't a straight up horse afterall, it takes elements from all sorts of critters. :) It's been decided that we like how the side view looks, so changes probably won't be made to that.
The eyes have been a challenege because we want them angled on the side like a horse, not close together and facing foward. This causes the tear ducts to be pretty long. So what I want to know is - do the tear ducts look strange or huge? Is there a way I could arrange it to make it look better? Or does it look fine and I've been staring at it too long? XD

Here is another photo with red circles of about where the eyes are located: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51672547@N07/8598646124/in/photostream
They will be up for sale later once I get it all figured out, I think it'd be nice to have a thinner base for other kirins and unicorns who don't want to be a straight up horse. ;)
