Default RE: First Whitetail Mount.....

if you catch your eyes being off shaped withen a few days you can lay damp washcloth on them overnight to re hydrate them so you can rework them . it still looks better than my first, congrats !!!
Yeah, I have thought about it. Unfortunitly, I think it is more than just the shape. I believe I pulled the cape too tight/back to begin with. So the tear ducts are out of position and aren't tucked near enough. I should have tucked them so the duct was hair to hair. If I would have taxi'd the skin forward more, the ducts would have positioned better and the eyes would better shape and detail also.

The was an old rack and a purchased cape....so it was pure practice. Therefore, I'm thinking about keeping it this way to remind me of what NOT to do...if I can stand it. lol. But thanks again for the idea and the tip.
