These are the first pictures I took of him. Now that i think of it, I sort of regret not taking any pictures of the foam structure underneath, but it was built will tons of lil scrap foam and it looked terrible. That's probably why I didn't take any. I used two different furs this time instead of simply shaving the long pile one. All the fur was sewed than slipped over the foam and structure and glues in some strategic places to keep it from moving or to help define details (such as his eyebrows). There was some trouble with the pattern on the muzzle, the fabric is a bit lose, but it makes the skin wrinkly as if he was snarling so it's not so bad. Another problem happened with the chin, I got confused and the sewed the pieces wrong so the fur runs slightly in the wrong direction and the goatee is not 100% centered. Oh well...
