A gazelle maybe? They are so beautiful, and there are so few gazelle suits.

I am making the gazelle. The carving of the foam is tricky.

I want it to look like a gazelle, but I also want it to look toony.
I am paying close attention on having a good moving jaw.
I want to get the feeling of the narrow snout but keep it toony, and
I have to try to make it not matter that the eyes are on the front instead of towards the sides.

I have the teeth finished and have decided on how to make the nose.
I know which way I am going to make the eyes and the eye lids (that will be easy).
The ears will be fun because they are quite long.
But I think the best part will be making the antlers.
I want to find some magnets for attaching of the antlers so they can be removed (for shipping purposes).

Or, should I just make stuffed horns?

Ohhh awesome.
Detachable antlers are great, they make storage and travelling with the suit much easier.

I would say try a jackalope. It has antlers and making the face toony would be fun. :)

Plus detachable antlers sounds like a great idea!

Wow, I just looked this one up.
I have never heard of it before.
Some strange looking critter.

I've decided to do a gazzelle first.
The antlers look like they will be easier to start with. ( a good way to try out materials)

Maybe the jackalope could be a second toony.
Now that I have sold the Husky, I can buy some of the more costly materials and make my methods easier.

I have the foam finished for the toony and am working on the mouth nose and eyes.

Thanks for the suggestion of the jackalope. It looks fun.
