Ferret finishwork/image dump II:

Using modeling paint on tiny cuts of make-up sponge, I added more dark fleshtones back to his mask.

Now he's looking satisfactorily lively, especially after I snuck him outdoors for a quick shoot in natural sunlight

Oooooo looks great!!

Tooth repair progress on a black bear skull from my personal collection.

When I bought her several years ago, her teeth were intact. But due to being boiled by the seller during her processing, her teeth had visible cracks. Overtime those cracks chipped away and the pieces were lost.
