Here is a better picture of the face with out the fangs.

Will wanted fangs instead of a tongue hanging down.  I think if you add the tongue it might make the face look more like a husky.  Mark also made the lips black.

Now add the fur underneath the cheekbones in a jagged up and down motion.

Now I get to try this at home!  I love how the fur really contours the face.  
It is only three colors.
