Totilas Mare has a neck!




Totilas Mare getting more body and the TWH twin is ready for the final sand down and priming.  I finally figured out what is up with the head. I changed this guy's head.  I refined it and lengthened the whole head. Now the head is more elegant and not so short and boxy and choppy looking.  I did however figure out what the illusion was with the head.  The real Totilas when doing dressage and appears to have a shorter blocky head, actually has his mouth open most of the times, and that makes his head look bulkier and a bit shorter.  He's got his teeth gritted and his lips curled back chomping at the bit.  Well, the model has that short boxy face but the model's mouth is closed.  So THAT'S what's giving it the optical allusion of being short yet not being short at the same time. He's got the length of the open mouth Totilas but the artist left the mouth closed.
