@dillenbata3 Aha! Great catch! Thank you so much! Fortunately I hadn’t done any high res sculpting yet. Seeing this gives me more reason to go back and redo some of the topology. I noticed some other weirdness (a six-pole right under the nose!? what was I thinking) while I was doing my own troubleshooting.
I think I might separate the eye caruncle from the rest of the mesh for more control. There’s just a lot going on in that area already what with the epicanthal fold.
Thanks for the help, everyone~!
