Does it need more mass when you look at it front on? The reason I say this, is I fly fish a lot, so I get to see many cows and bulls, and they look wider front on . . unless its a baby user added image

cows

I don't know if you've seen many cows from Florida then, they are all that skinny. They look like deer, hahaha.. I was originally from the west so I was used to fat cows, then I moved to FL.

But anyway... yeah I say make it a little thicker as well, but otherwise great job
