WIP Screech base WIP

I don’t really like the way it looks from the front. The mouth feels too wide and I definitely want to add foam on to the lip. I’ve just been stacking random scraps of foam on the front and then carving from there, and surprisingly, it’s turned out ok so far. If anyone has any more tips on making a screech fursuit head please let me know!

Do you have a reference image we can peek at? Not everyone keeps up with every unique species by name in the furry world

And this is a screech fursuit owned by sunbeam needleworks who created the screech species

Oh these guys! I didn't know what they were called. Tbh I think the mouth looks fine, especially when you hold it up to the fursuit example. You can always make it smaller later, but it would be hard to make it bigger once it's furred and everything you know?

ETA: Especially if the mouth is how you're going to see.

I'm glad you dropped some images of what you were going for, I was very confused having never heard of a Screech before

I think the upper lip is slightly bigger on the left side of the picture (right while wearing). Other than that it seems to be shaped well

Love these li'l creeturs.

The mouth doesn't immediately seem too large to me, but I see what you're getting at. Maybe once you added the ears and any other details, it'll make the rest of the head seem larger in comparison and bring the mouth into proportion. I might focus on other parts of the head and come back to the mouth later.

Sunbeam needleworks has rules for designing screeches on her website. It’s an open species
