Description

wanted to goof around with how veli's skull would look and how it would have to be jointed due to his double jaw. i would figure he probably has more ligaments, and the jawbone itself would have to be longer to make sure the joint could handle bending twice as much plus extra weight. since each jaw can open independently, his facial muscles would probably have to vary quite a bit.

I feel as though a model that would work better physiologically would have one jaw hinge forward more and the other behind it rather than one on top of the other; similarly, that way you would have independent muscle structures rather than tendons layer over one another with different purposes and restricting motion, at least that is what I would assume! But this model is most definitely the most aesthetically pleasing I believe!
