Mystic WIP

Bobcat that joined my personal collection last year. Ears were turned and had lip/lid material just enough to tuck, aside from being tattered a bit. Mounted him up 2 days ago but I wasn't quite happy with the muzzle and mouth so I soaked him and remounted. First bobcat and my second mount period but so far I'm rather pleased. Ears are hand sculpted and form carved. Eyes are Van Dykes I believe.

Its taken me about 7 years of studying and practice to finally feel confident to mount up a pelt properly. Its truly an art form, dispite what some people may claim. It makes me feel very excited and humbled to finally get to work with such beautiful creatures and will not tolerate rude or flaming comments. Any such comments will be hidden and ignored.
