nice start

The end of the nose looks a little narrow but if your using the posted pic as reference then it might be because its a young tiger.

here is a big update. Still lots to do.
I don't know if I will continue to the body after this head is finished.

I need to do some more detailing in z-brush and do the eyes.

The eyes of the actual tiger are different than human eyes, so I gotta figure out how to do it.

Looking nice so far! With regard to whether or not you should continue doing the body - what I would do is just make sure you've got the head done first and furred and looking nice, then think about doing the body perhaps?

Nery nice work. The only complaint I have is that all of the angles are too sharp, try using weights to curve them out a bit.

thank you.

I am not worrying too much about sharp seams, because the whole thing will be covered in fur. but, I will do more work on them.

I am interesting in your wireframe. I'm curious what is affecting those sharp corners.
