Awesome, definitely needs some improvement. BUT it’s your thirds one. It’s pretty cool that you’re taking the initiative to do something like this. Keep it up!! Thanks. From what I keep hearing very few younger guys have any interest in taxidermy anymore. Most of the older pros I have talked to seem pretty happy a 30yr old has taken interest.

Its a wall pedestal/shoulder mounts = no rest of a animal. I was trying to make it look as if the coyote was looking out from behind the fence post.
Must be an awfully skinny coyote to be hidden behind that small post.

Must be an awfully skinny coyote to be hidden behind that small post. You must have no imagination whatsoever. Do you look at every shoulder mount that even professionals have done whether it be deer, boar, bear etc. and say where is the rest of it? Why is that base there in front of it looking out of place. Obviously its not a good mount so I hoped the base would help it out some.

Well, honestly if I had paid a lot of money for it I wouldn't be too happy with it. If I had got it done free or cheap I would learn to love it. Actually I did pay a lot of money for a red fox that was about on that same level or worse.
Poor people have poor ways.

Third stuff-job? Not bad, not bad at all. I won't even scare you with photos of some of my first stabs at taxidermy! As stated above....practice, practice, as well as reference, reference, reference! If you shop around and get a catalog from as many suppliers as you can, you will see the great quality differences in many of the small/medium game forms. Deer are king in the taxidermy industry, so that is where 90% of the sculpting improvements are. I had an old friend in the industry that was a real wiz at sculpting and posing small and medium game forms. This person won all manner of awards at the various national shows. As a result, this person went on to market the many forms through several supply companies. The sculpter was a teacher a their "real" job, and once told me that the yearly royalties from those manikins was more than the yearly teachers retirement. That is what a good sculpter can expect if they produce top quality manikins.
