every thing is a little too square...........the top and bottom of the mouth, the nose thing with the spikes coming out of it and the horns they all need more roundness

i think i need to tweak the start of the spikes (the black area on the pic) and make it more round in the low poly model... after that i ll go over to the Teeth!!!!

Coming along well. Watch out for the dark patches. Might be normals issues there.
