Very nice mount overall. You ended up with some great muscle detail in the face. The eyes have a real nice shape. I have a question.... how do you treat the nose pad? I cant really tell if its looks dry or if its just the camera. We started using a coat of Modge Podge to start with then individually dotting the bumps with a couple applications from a little needle we modified. It made all the difference in the world. Also, do use earliners? With or without the cartilage? Love the right ear, not sure about the left one. Might just be the angle. Excellent work over all. :)
Who the heck are you??

Been in business since 2004. Love the challenge of learning so it keeps me coming back. We don't advertise because we are almost to busy now. Love the word of mouth thing. Were just small time but its almost decision time. Hope you didn't think I was criticizing your work. Just curious mostly. I liked your one statement "I'm not where I want to be" referring to your level of expertise. This was on one of your other posts, I think it was the elk one. It shows you don't have an ego that gets in the way of your work.
How long have you been in business?

Ego's are what kill the industry as far as I'm conserned. I was curiouse if I knew you or of you. I think criticism is the most useful info you can get on mounts. I for one always criticise my mount, maybee over criticise :chuckle:. I have actually stated before that if there is something wrong with a mount I have done, chances are I already know about it ;) I will tear apart my mount everytime if someone wants me to tell them what I think is wrong with it. There is always something wrong with all my mounts, I wont be satisfied untill you cant tell the differance between a real live deer and my mount ;). I will always be learning and trying different things . I have changed how I do my noses since last year too. Here are some pics for ya.

As for ear colors, theres is so many variables on colors . If its hot out they seem to be more flesh or pink colored, thats what I was going for on that buck since it is a short hair cape. Most of my mounts I will flesh them out , then hayze a little brown around the edge and then freckle them like most ears look.
