Amy, I apologize. I just watched your video from a year ago on Bobcat heads and eyes. So, I now see there are various pupil shapes and why you would use them. Great video!
I’am lost for words. 1st, extremely relaxing just watching and listening to the back ground music. It was amazing to watch the cat come alive as you tucked the eyes, groomed the face and primped the ears. Very inspiring. Again Thank you, for sharing. You’re very talented.
These eyes are slightly pointed at the top and bottom. I went to google to find a reference photo to show you, but there were so many with this exact pupil shape I couldn’t make a decision on which one to choose.
@@amysanimalart The ones I've trapped in PA or shot have all had the very evident "cat eye". Like your channel and your videos and appreciate you putting out the information.
Interesting, I was picking up a Fisher from my taxidermist today and asked about the bobcat eyes. Apparently after a bobcat dies the pupils dilate and get more of an oval or round shape.
That is true, the dead ones often have the pupil so dilated that the eye looks almost totally black! I have a variety of different eyes I use. Some of them have a very small “snake eye” looking pupil, others more round. The size of the pupil really has the most to do with ambient light. Lots of light = very small, retracted pupil. Lower lighting = dilated pupil. If you look at reference photos, there is a variety. I seem to like the look I get with a more dilated eye
This was so soothing to watch in real time. Looks great Amy!
Awesome how the face of the Bobcat "came to life" you are very aware details.
Thumbs up immediately and greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

Why do you tuck the piece of clay up into the cheek area instead of sculpting it onto the form previously ??Awesome work ., awesome video !
Excellent!
Nice job.
Informative video, which clay is the easiest to work with?
I feel like my life just go a little bit better. 😆 Thank you.
Nice
I’m new to your channel. I’m an amateur home taxidermist, and very curious what you’re using for your tucking tool.
Amy, you do a great job, but I've never seen a bobcat with round pupils.
