Someone on facebook was after making the sort of a pug dog that is made with a 6" geo for the face.
They wanted to make it in brown and geo's do not come in this colour, double stuffing into an 11" mocha
I thought would loose a lot of definition although I have not tried it yet.

The other idea I had was to use a 350 for the face in a flower petal design.
As soon as I started it looked more bulldog to me so I let the balloons take me that way.

Will post more pictures later.

I was trying to go for the ruffled skin look on the bulldog,
I will try again how I made the rhino a few weeks back.
That might look better.

At the London jam on Monday I had a play with a different head and body idea.
It was not too successful, but you never know until you try.

That one reminds me of a book my daughter bought me.  Its called Shake by Carli Davidson and she had taken photos of dogs shaking after they have been wet.
This is actually one of the least weird ones.

So I just popped the ears/eyes and front section of the face and added a 160 for ears
and a new look for the face and it looks like a completely different dog.
I adjusted the neck position as well, so perhaps it was not such a disaster after all?

So eventually he came out not too bad from the alien bulldog at the start
but not too bulldog looking, another work in progress.

I thought I would post the one balloon bulldog design here that I made the other week.
This is definitely influenced from a bulldog design by Thelma.
