By no means am I in the same league as most of yall here, but I thought I would share my first attempt at a bugling elk mount with the cast lip system.

SevensLooks like a real live elk to me! I opened the thread and only saw the top part of the photo - thought it was a reference photo.

BNagelPose and eyes first, then skin, etc. make a mount. Realistic horn/antler placement next.
Looks like you score high in my book!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
I think it is great. I especially like the interior detail of the mouth. It would be a wonderful addition to my trophy room!

Equinsu OchaGreat looking mount for sure!
If I could add a touch of constructive critisim, the ear butt placement and ear location need to be worked on a bit. Too low and at too harsh of an angle..

george roofWell, I can tell you're certainly not in MY class. That piece is excellent work and the mouth detail is about as good as you'll get.
