I think adding the folds/creases along the ear edge should make them look a little less mousey.

Good stuff user added image

sure ill do that but i was trying to finish the mouth and i have done most of it now... user added image

and guess what? the model is as perfect as to be converted to subdivs and then to Nurbs without doing any tweaks...
I didn't used a single triangle!

Good work Legolas_hv. I really like what you have done so far. And thanks for posting a picture of the mouth area. Very helpful. How did you model that area? I assume that you modelled the teeth seperate to the gums and then connected them to the rest of your mesh.

Keep up the good work.

I builded the lower gum, duplicated it and grabed it up then I conected them both extruding the inner edges to make the shape of the throat.
Most of it comes from my imagination because i didn't managed to get a close up of the area.
I will add more detail later.

Maybe thats too much for it, what i mean is that its difficult to create a fur style from nothing, but anyway maybe it is no that hard.
I'll find out as soon as i get home from the taekwondo class this night
However there's only 1 exam left for me and i'll have much more time to work than lately.

Heya Legolas, hows it going? Been watching your progress for quite some time, and it's looking really good. I have to agree that the fur is a reall kicker. I have read some basic stuff on it, and have did some testing, but I need a tut on trimming and combing before I can go any further with it.

Best of luck your your entry! user added image
