Description
a friend of mine who just wanted a subtle change.i did enjoy it a lot, and personally i love the way the eyes look, giving her a innocent look and a lovely view, and the changes are just enough to view and it doesn't affect her beautiful look.
pic from my personal collection.
enjoy

No problem. For me something like a muzzle is one of the hardest things to do next to horns and hooves - also wings are quite a challenge for me as well.
I've always wanted to do a grinch type photomanip (based on the film version) but i think that the actual grinch muzzle would be difficult to pull off because the grinch's nose is slightly more higher up than a human's nose is.

well, you should give a try to the morph and liquify tools in photoshop. that can make your life easier when trying to do a muzzle, then you use a bit of healing brush and you are done.
just remember to make different layers of the parts you are using so that you wont affect the original until you know its ready

One of the tricky things about fitting muzzles, especially long muzzles onto a human face begins with the fact that we have particularly high foreheads. If you look at a dog or a cat, or pretty much any other long-muzzled mammal, you'll see that they have highly sloped and nearly flat foreheads. Personally, I don't like to diminish the forehead completely for two reason. One it makes the head look too small, and two, I like my hybrid creatures to have enough room for decent brains!
I've always found that reducing the height of forehead helps with muzzle integration. Another tricky situation with muzzles and 3/4 views has to do with the inevitable blocking of the eye that is further from the viewer. It often leads to the muzzle being lower than it could possibly be. Full frontals tend to be much easier to pull off because of this.
I also noticed that you have created a feral ear. It is very easy to fall into the trap of wanting to show that you've manipulated a nifty canine/human ear for your work, but the reality of things is that not everything is perfectly visible. Ears tend to be partially or completely obscured. Take advantage of this fact as it adds realism to your jobs.
Hope I haven't been too overblown on my commentary, but I feel like sharing some of my observations.

thank you soo much.
indeed, your observations are extremely welcome, coming from an awesome artist as yourself.
yeah, the muzzle its tricky, but she wanted a long one, so i did try my best to make her wish come true, but it was hard because, as you said, the viewing angle of the pic and the form are hard to make; and the ear, indeed it was an extra thing that it was best not to include, i am going to make another one with a new pic (same angle), so i will know what not to do when i manip the photo.
thanks again, and i am always open to observations like the one you did. your work is superb.

oops, I meant dog nose. I get canine/lupine noses mixed up. I can't figure out how to do either.

thank for your comments, i am pleased that you like it and that you put it into your favorites.
one way to make canine noses and muzzles its to have a picture of the muzzle of your favorite canine, and use it as a blue print, then you play with the brushes from photoshop or gimp and you try to make them as look alike as possible, if you want to, you can use the tip of the nose and go your way from there. thanks again for the comments and the fav

Ooh, nice. I like the wolf nose especially. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do those.

wow, its very good
only thing I have to say is to work on the muzzle a lil bit more. On the left it kinda just bulges from her face, looks kinda weird. lolz
other than that, its great!
keep it up!
