Ears look droopy with the posture of the neck. I wish they were pinned higher for this particular form. Shape of rack didn't do you favors.

I just did a quick google image search and saw quite a few with ears similar to yours, and some higher. It's cool to try the different poses.... when you kill as many bucks as you do you can try them all :lol:

I think ears are anatomically correct... but would have looked better higher. Reference Arrow Bender's mount from this year

I like it. Looks like he's coming in for a fight.

I like it as is, I think it looks neat...especially if that's how you remember him prior to the shot. If it's something that bothers you is it possible for the taxi to rehydrate and adjust the ears at this point?

I doubt it with the ears

I wouldn't insult the taxi either. It will grow on me... it just "different" from the norm

I think it looks pretty good. The one thing if anything is the eyes are usually kind of squinted when the ears are back to show aggression. But I've seen it both ways and I'm on the fence whether I like the eyes that way or how yours are better. It's good work regardless

I like it..But I think the pic you put up looks better with the face pointed more downward. Nice wall.
