This fox jaw gave me angst! Due to space/shaping constraints the jaws had to be set back a little further than I would’ve liked which posed issues for sculpting. The lower jaw was resculpted 3 times until it looked believable. The upper jaw needed extra gums to aid illusion of correct teeth placement due to…

Miwak’s head is finished! I am soo happy with how they turned out. Sadly, I’ve had several issues with commissioning his bodysuit, so he’s going to have to remain a partial for now until I can sort that out (fingers crossed next times the charm).

I have done the first pass of the haircut. This took several hours as I cut from the bottom up in layers to ensure a nice layered rag style. I’ll come back later to refine the overall shape, add some shagginess into the mane, and do the final shave on the face.

I’m really digging how nice my new pattern is turning out. Next step is handsewing the paw pads and sorting out the lining.

Testing out my new slim feetpaw pattern. These are all the pieces for a set of lemon & navy paws. I have no need for these so they will be sold upon completion.
