I lurve it.

Almost as much as I lurve you

The shape of the head is really nice.

I love this so much! It looks so cute!

YAY!! loving it!!!

The shape is okay but has no organic feel to it - but what do I know?

Please do explain orgain feel ^^
I can wear it if that makes it look more natural

Think in terms of soft edges and contours. Look at animals, there are no "hard" edges on them.
What you have here, while very clean, is very angular. Most likely a bit of that will be covered by the fur, but it wiuld look softer and more organic without the hard edges.
What do I know?

Yup Yup! Fur will cover most of it, but I may jsut have to go back and round off the corners a bit ^^

how much would a foam base like this cost from you?

The only foam base that I MIGHT sell right now would be the first one I made, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8585400/ ,

Im not one that really takes commissions. I enjoy making them for myself then selling the finished product as a full suit

funny thing is thats the one i was sort of referring to

This looks absolutely fantastic! I just love the way you have the ear curl, gives the head such personality!

The toonier the better, (within reason.)

Looks great Lav, love the expression though he needs funky hair

So foxlightning style hair!

Damn, that's fucking awesome for a third try!! My opinion is you should have no problem selling that

thanks dude

You're welcome! Making me want to try again at building a furhead. I'm thinking of trying to build a head of my new fursona Riot. He's a sergal/black panther hybrid :P

I think this one looks a lot better. It's a lot more organic than the other one, but there's still a lot of "boxiness" and angular edges that bug me personally. It's all up to your individual style but I personally prefer round edges.
Mostly, it's the top of the head, and the back of the cheeks.

*NODS* Thank you very much hun!

Once fur is placed over the foam, you wont notice the slight boxiness. But I still appreciate the comments!!!

No problem!

looking cute

It looks very nice uvu wouldn't mind having a head by you! BUT LETS SEE IT WITH FUR.

Its an honour to hear that from you!

Perhaps a trade in the future when I am actually good at heads, and have the time Xp

sounds awesome ^^ if you ever needs tips, shoot me a message. Iv made more fursuits than I can remember ^^

My only issue right now is speed, and clean shaving unu

Cool!

I lav it :D

I noticed a lot of people mentioning "not organic in shape" or "boxy-ness" BUT being a suit maker myself, I think leaving those harsh edges will help to make different aspects of the head stand out.

I find rounding off every corner makes a head look more feline like than canine like. Take a look at tigers, they have rounded heads, rounded ears, rounded shorter muzzles, look at a wolf and you have a flat stop (where the nose meets the head between the eyes) flat top of muzzle, flat top to head, and pointed cheek tufts never mind the pointed ears! So I think this guy will look very nice once furred.

Also, when drawing art you always be sure to connect straight lines with curved ones, and you did this really well here! Random red line here to show what I'm talking about: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55607506/r.....lue%20line.jpg By using straight edges and curves your helping with dynamic shape and it encourages the eye of the viewer to move about the image easier.

What colors are you going to go with for this guy? Or is it a surprise!

So....... Im an artist and I didnt even know it

Thanks so much for your kind words Kitty! It means alot to hear this coming from someone with much more experience than me ^^

As for fur colors, I was going to use Promo Shag White and Grey, THe white will be around the front half of the face, then transissioning into grey.
THe neck line is the msot important, as the white and grey need to come together just before the front top of the shoulder as the fursuit body has a white chest.

I might have my watchers sketch up different fur designes for this head to which i will choose one ^^.


Thanks again Kitty!!!

I would gladly doodle up a fur design for this head ^_^ Something unique, yes, sellable lol

You learned well my student*

THANKS FIRESOTRM!!!!!!!!!!

Just wondering, what was the size of the block you started with?

it started with 4 semi cut out piece of foam. theres alot of carving and build up here

Looking good so far!

it could be better ..its really lacking the sexy lav holding it up but so far yes its looking good wil be so cute once fured ^^

The shape looks really good so far.

i really like the floopy ear X3

chewy will be made by the paws of you and firestorm

Murrrrrrr!

don't murr D:

I WANNIT! God it looks so cute. Can't wait to see it furred. x3

I think it looks phenomenal, the unique carved shape, the adorably toony look and the bent ear really create a great character here. I greatly look forward to it being furred. My only question is, will he have any teeth or eyebrows? Not that they're necessary at all, just curious.

Otherwise, fantastic job dude!

Oh ya! Those are all the finishing touches . Thank you hun!

Looking very cute and toony :)

Now THAT looks more like it's your style~! Sooo cute too! That floppy ear!
I can't wait to see him get donnne <3

The fur pattern is already traced ^^

AHHHH~!!

You should make a tutorial! Because I really love your heads

Criticize... Can only really say that looks really good. I want to see how it turns out done.
