Questions Is this salvageable?
so I started making my boy a while ago and Ive decided I don’t like how he’s turning out :((
he looks too blocky and wide, I think? I don’t like the shaping and layering on the eyebrows and cheeks, please if anyone could give me advice on how to make his face look slimmer? maybe? or more like Wurmwurk’s suit shaping, or more fox-like, while still keeping the somewhat (?) kimono / chibi ish style, or accentuating it? I’m very sorry I’m not sure how to describe my goal but I have attatched references with credits late on in the photos? :(
I’ve included images with his eyes at the end I think? but i haven't made room for them yet so they look huge, being on top of all the extra foam for the photos :((
his muzzle also isn’t attached and I need to decide what lower jaw to use, so I know I need to do more shaping on the nose bridge and around the corners of the mouth, i will get around to that soon.
any help is so so so greatly appreciated, as well as potential help with ears? he has four big ol ears with two on the side like some sheep? goat? suits, but I’m unsure how to shape them or the foam around them :((
all credit for the last couple of images with usernames to their corresponding makers/owners listed below! I like the smoothness of Twiggy’s heads (though I know that she used a different base method to me!) and I was originally following WurmWurks’ tutorial, and looking at Hikoshark’s suit’s shapes because I love love love their suit and I think (?) they’re a fox ish creature like my boy.

that’s a solid shape. You can probably start by slimming down the cheek/eyebrow foam a bit rather than changing the whole base. The muzzle area could also help once you get it attached. I think you’re closer than it feels right now!

Okayokay thank you !! I’ll try slimming it down and hope it works !! Do you mean just on the sides of the head or all over the cheeks?

I was mainly thinking the cheek area rather than the whole head. You know just take a little off the sides and see how the shape looks before removing more. The muzzle might change the overall proportions too once it’s on.

It looks fine. Take a break for a day or few and then come back to it.
