Might just need to adjust their softening with the Soften/Harden Edges command.

And i used this day again for this challenge only...man maya makes addicted!!!i made the mouth longer in order to give him more a aerodynamic look and take the stabil and fat appearance away.I also added a cornet on the top of the mouth (actually it was a tip by a schoolgirl). An attentive Viewer would recognize that i added a stitch in the center as well.I think ill complete all the stitches...
to you think they are more like hair or more like a long stitch/cornet?like on a triceratops....???
