I will be trying the DOF in my final render user added image

.

Other than that though I got the basic shape for the head done, I made it in nurbs for the most part, then converted to polys, then did some extrudes to get the flap of skin on his mouth.. i will be modelling the connection of the skin for the mouth, and the jaw later today. Try to get it to look like it would before i chop it up and add the gore user added image

. Some of you may not quite understand what im doing.. but you will see when its done.

looking good bro'

the only way that it looks like a dog to me, is the view from below. Maybe the jowels are hanging a bit to low? from the side the shape looks very tiger-like.

I think you will get a better feel of the face if you make the eye sockets.

Looking great man, i love the way he almost looks cartoony, but evil with that shader. And you hinted you will be cutting him up (adding gore), I can't wait to see that.
