not bad but by the looks of the pic you can kind of see at the top of the ears that there is hair slippage. might be the pic  though. looks good

That the one I sent you? It looks much better than my first fox was. The eyes look good to me too. It looks like the nose could have been fleshed a little better though. Do you have pics of the full body?

Mitch , I'm not being harsh but I've noticed on you're post and previous one's you tend to over use the pins. A bit of advise I might offer is , around you're eye work and lips get your skin as thin as possible, use a good hide paste and taxi the skin in position to avoid pulling problems. You really shouldn't have to use pins at all , at the most (1) on each eye. I'm just thinking bad habits are hard to break. There will come a time if you continue growing in this art , even pin holes will become unacceptable.

Ears look a little far back to me, maybe adjust them to the front more. Not the placement on the head, but the tilting to the front.  It turned out good though! Smiley

Not to bad for your first mount. I agree you need to use less pins.
