I personally think faun is beautifull!
Better than how MY first mount will look! Still working on him xD
You did a good job with that armature too, i'd never be able to do that in the next one or two years, i'll need alot of practice xD

Thanks ^^
I still don't really like him. Yesterday I actually was about to work on him. I've sewn a big hole, but didn't so much more – he still only has 3 paws because I don't know how to get bones out of toes for reshaping lol.
Well, he's super wobbly. I definitely need to use a thicker wire next time.

I can actually only hope my soft mount will look as good as yours though, i've never had any taxidermy work before
Question, the fox pelt im using misses a piece, can i replace it with a piece of similar-coloured rabbit pelt, or will it look very odd?
I have no other solution for the missing piece so i hope it would work-

Meistens sieht was gleichzeitig süß und "hässlich" aus. Wobei das "hässlich" dann eh in den Hintergrund tritt. Man kann sich damit anfreunden.
Und was muss schon perfekt sein..ich lern das immer mehr, jetzt, wo ich unterrichte. Du kannst von einem 7-Jährigen nicht erwarten, dass er was genau ausschneidet. Und so kann man auch von ungeübten Personen nicht erwarten, was so zu machen, wie einer, der jahrelange Übung hat. (Und manche schneidens noch mit 40 ungenau aus ~D also, was soll des ganze Thema.)
Für mich zählt mittlerweile nur immer, ob man selber damit zufrieden ist.
Und die Farben gefallen mir irrsinnig gut.

Njoa, stimmt wohl. ^^
Ich weiß gar nicht, ob ich mit ihm zufrieden bin. Ich meine, ich sollte das sein, schließlich hab ich mit so ziemlich ungewöhnlichem Material gearbeitet und mehrere Stunde in den kleinen Kerl gesteckt. Irgendwie bin ich so eine Person, die nie zufrieden mit dem ist, was sie tut und immer an den eigenen Sachen rum meckern muss. :c
Ja, aber du hast recht - die Farben sind schon recht schön an ihm. ^^

This is awsome I would love to see this done with stoles more often. It does them justice

You should post him to the Misfit-Taxidermist group! He'll fit right in since he is 1) adorable! and 2)made in an unconventional manner

Der sieht ja süß aus. Klar man sieht das er nicht wie der natürlichste Fuchs aussieht, aber das macht ihn nicht hässlich finde ich.
Ich mag Goldenislands, haben eine schöne Fellfärbung.

Haha das ausgebleichte kommt dem Goldenislandfell jedenfalls farblich nahe. Mein Marble fuchs Bolt hat ja auch hinterbeine von nem Platin oder Platingoldenisland oder sowas, sieht man nur nicht wirklich weil die fast komplett weiß sind, und die Vorderbeine, naja da sieht man es eindeutig weil die schon mehr Schwarz im fell haben und da wo sie weiß sind, sind sie vergilbt das man sieht das das schon älter ist als der rest XD

Ha, I guess he's kinda uglycute, then. :3 (Sorry, long time lurker of taxidermy, trying to be more of a poster.)
Are you going to ever show some more photos of his body and other sides of his face? He actually looks pretty good considering all you had to do with him and the materials you had. :3 I like his derpy look. He's kinda just yelling out, "I'm ugly, but I'm cute, loooovvvee mmmeeeee!!!"
I'm looking for another soft mount and may or may not be interested depending on what the rest of him looks like and the price. :3 The more I look at him, the more I "D'aw!"

Yeah, that describes him perfectly xD
I still have a few photos of him to edit and upload, but I am not sure when I'll do this. Thank you! That means a lot to me :3
I worked on him a lot and still think he's only "meh", but, yeah – no one makes a perfect mount on the first try, right? xD
Well, as I wrote in the description, he is not finished yet and his left front paw is a mess at the moment. xD Also, he is not the softest, at least on his body fluff where I used the fox stole and not the golden island scraps. His feet and head are really soft and nice to pet, though.
I am also not completely sure if I sell him, but since half a year he's just sitting somewhere and I didn't even work on his damn paw, so I think he would have it better elsewhere.

I'm not sure how old this post is, but I think he's adorable! Soft mounts don't have to be perfect to be cute and cuddle-able.

I just uploaded him. I never uploaded him before because of his unfinished leg. ^^
True, he has his cute sides ^^
Yeah, I also thought "He's my first, he won't be perfect". But I still wish that I could've made him more realistic... At least the armature worked out kinda nice.

I think the important thing is that we learn from each mount we make.

Indeed. Note to myself: Never use a foam form again. Might be a good idea at first but just too squishy in the end xD

Did you use that green floral foam? The taxidermy head forms are made out of a much nicer rigid polyurethane foam and are really nice to work with. No comparison!
