Note: we were NOT the original makers of this head!
My first ever refurb project!
This took me so long! :) I technically went over my estimated time that I'd quoted the client, but I think it was worth it in the end. This was quite the learning experience as well. It was strange working with unfamiliar construction methods to try and reform this head into something totally different.
So here are a few things that were done:
-Eyes were completely redone. I removed the old ones and the fur around them, created new eyeholes in the front of the head (they were originally completely on the side of the head), sewed on new fur, airbrushed the red splotches, and made new eyes.
-Padded out the head itself. You can see that the head is a bit wider now. I gave the mask some cheeks and a forehead to give it a solid base to put the new eyes on.
-Removed the black lining around the nose.
-New shave job.
-Adjusted the ears and horns as best I could. They're not perfectly symmetrical (one of them just refused to stand up as much as the other, regardless of how much padding I added to the base), but I think it's a good improvement.
-Did some touch-up gluing and sewing in spots that were either loose, missing fur, or had holes/loose sewing.
-Replaced the back head panel with standard lime green instead of sparkle fur.
-Fixed the jaw. It was (I think) originally supposed to be articulated, but you can see it just kind of sagged there. I tightly sewed and glued the jaw to the rest of the mask to fix the crookedness and floppiness.
Totally worth the work. I love how this came out, and I hope the client feels the same! c:

Yep, Warped_Reality got it right. The old one was edited to make it look like the new one. :) Looks like a totally new head, doesn't it? xD
