give Nutcracker Fantasy a watch with the awareness that it's from 70's. by today's standards it's a little unsettling for young kids, and there's one bit with some side characters that falls short on cultural sensitivity. but much to appreciate in this film imo

it's an oddball of a film and that's why i loved it. feels nostalgic with its strange and unpolished whimsy. it transported me back in time to being a young girl with a hopelessly romantic heart

i recommend requesting this compilation of short stories at your library and reading "Two Nurses, Smoking". shot in the dark, but i really think you might find some writing inspiration in there for Fenris + how to get the romance started

since you're testing a somewhat major change to a face's geometry, maybe there would be benefit to playing with a low(er)-poly model if possible? sometimes that helps clarify the major planes/curves/shapes before you bring it back up to detail again
