I will be trying the DOF in my final render user added image.

Other than that though I got the basic shape for the head done, I made it in nurbs for the most part, then converted to polys, then did some extrudes to get the flap of skin on his mouth.. i will be modelling the connection of the skin for the mouth, and the jaw later today. Try to get it to look like it would before i chop it up and add the gore user added image. Some of you may not quite understand what im doing.. but you will see when its done.

looking good bro'

the only way that it looks like a dog to me, is the view from below. Maybe the jowels are hanging a bit to low? from the side the shape looks very tiger-like.

I think you will get a better feel of the face if you make the eye sockets.

Looking great man, i love the way he almost looks cartoony, but evil with that shader. And you hinted you will be cutting him up (adding gore), I can't wait to see that.
