but nurbs is giving me trouble user added image
im using the loft tool, but at places like the head (with the ears) the curves have to close together cos u nd detail, but at those places, the gaps BETWEEN the 2 curves dips down user added image i cant move them up cos i can only move curves, and the curves are in the right place

Why don´t you try duplicating some isoparms on those zones and playing with them afterwards ... ?

or raise or lower the curve slightly. it doesn't look like it's "sagging" i looks like one curvre (the one in between the valleys) is off a little.
