So I'm making a pony based on a character that is missing the top part of her head, severed from the jaw up. I really don't want to actually cut the pony's head up like that... because it's hollow, and I don't want to sculpt the teeth and throat hole and all that mess. but I'm not completely turned off to the idea.
So I thought to just paint the severed part totally black, to just sort of suggest the severed head. But I don't know if that would get my message of the wound across.
your thoughts and/or suggestions?
Also, show me your gore ponies, I'd love some bloody inspiration.
