At some point he aquired a tail, too. It's not in the picture.
The first attempt there looked a lot more demented in real life. His bottom jaw is huge and his top jaw is teeeeny. I fixed that for the second one. There's been a few tweaks to the pattern since then, but they don't need another sample. Just made the top lips longer (they look long enough there but there is a half cm seam allowance) and reduced some of the pointiness in the eye area.
There's a lot of detail missing in the head. He's missing three ears, four horns, the entire inside of his mouth, his nose, his eyelids, and of course his eyes. Whiskers too. There's a lot of *stuff* that goes on the head, and this is just the base that it all attaches to.
Once I get the sizes, which is the next step now that I have all the patterns, I'll start working on the inside of the mouth and his many spikes/horns, which will all be done in paper mache.
