I like how you showed the differences here.

Really nifty tutorial

I think that Spike has some rat in him. You have a similar nose bump on your rat drawings.

No, he has some ME in him. :P I have one of those noses that has the bony bump in the middle of it so it sticks out from a profile, so I put that on him because he's sorta my 'me' character. Though when Whinge (my old fursona) was a rat, he also had this for the same reason.

And I only draw some rats with the weird nosebridge, and it's a different shape (not a bump, but rather a slight dip where the muzzle meets the head) that's a random toony stylisation. Don't know where I picked it up, but I do to some animals too such as wolves...see here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3398938/
and here (on the left): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3399889/

Ah. OK. Well, my bad. I saw that rat part of Whinge (which I thought was unique and interesting) and thought it was translated over. Still looks cool regardless.

Sorry for the ranty reply...I exaggerated that dip a little too much on my rat avatars on SL (plan to tone it down a bit when I update them because I don't really like how that turned out), and have gotten way too many comments from people about how I gave them my nose or a 'Whinge-rat nose' ._.;

Maybe I'm just weird, but I like the Whinge-rat nose. It's cute. Then again, I'm probably biased against saying anything bad about rats because I like them, no matter how unusual (small wonder why).

I think you kinda missed the point of me doing it to make him look more like me. I don't want everything to have the same nose, or he is no longer unique by having this face. ._.

No, I caught that. I guess I was just saying that I liked the feature. I like the way it's drawn.

I always thought he looked weasely as a woozl

He's always been a woozl. ._.
I find this comment confusing.

Um...I am confuse.

!?!?

Paradox 80 *..is.. also confused now*

Can I be confused, too? All the cool kids are doing it!

I love that little front shot of his face :D

...wait, what? The front shot at the bottom? It's terrible...I even made a note about how the face innately looks wrong from that angle due to how the muzzle is built and that I should avoid it, plus I drew it really sloppily due to just wanting to get it over with...and you think it's better than the others I spent much more time on? Fffff DX

I just think its cute render XD I dont belive its better than the others, just somthing about it drew my eye to it first. Dont worry, I like the whole thing, and can see where you put more effort in and how the frontal dosnt exactly suit the character.

'Muzzles never make sense from this angle, tends to make the face look ROUND AND CUTE, try to avoid this angle!!'
If you can't read my handwriting. It gives the illusion that the muzzle is extremely short, making the face look cute (because shorter muzzles make faces look cuter, it's a universal rule of cute). And this is a BAD thing if you read the description about what I was trying to do. x.x

Yeah, I usually do that to show long muzzles. That's why I made the little note about it, was just showing why it doesn't work XD

Errr, rather showing why a DIRECT front-on doesn't work, not the solution I usually do.

Nevermind, I misread that. You already got the point. x.x *not awake yet*

I only do them on my own characters, though...I do it to make the characters look like me, so obviously drawing them on every single character would be completely pointless. Of course no one gets this even after I've said it.

The ears and the slimmer jawline really go a long way to enweezlification.

Extreeeeeeme overbite! :E

:E~~~
I was actually slightly inspired by the way Dane stylised his head-shape (see icon) so wanted to try summat like that. And it worked!

I like how on the left we see a cute, innocent woozl face, and on the right we get spikes' bony, annoyed, vampwoozl face. I think for him the dead-on angle won't be so bad because (from what I've seen of him) unless you're a goth, spike and cute don't mix.

THANK YOU for all the details.
It's WEEZLE-IFICATION done RIGHT!

*many fuzzy nuzzles of woozle joy*
