Help with fixing this model

I got the hands down. But the eyes are more on the side than the front.

Basically, diamond shaped square. <> Like that I guess... bottom corner, the lower mouth (just pleats). Same with the top. Only I folded parts up to make the eyes. Then the sides were spiked to give it the haunter look. But... it still doesn't look like haunter. :(
Haunter (just in case people don't know, I know lots here do know but, hey, never know):

Hmm... Try making it spikey-er, and less of a rounded shape.

Any suggestions for doing so? :(
I can figure out how to get spikes in without doing something similar to La Fosse does with his butterfly wings (pleat then corner tuck x2 to get something like this -v-).

Sorry, I'm not very experienced at designing. If you're using T-foil (which it looks like you are) you could just pinch the paper into spikes.

It's double tissue.
And... I don't take your advice for granted, but if you're not a designer... then you're not really fit to give advice on designing much, or fixing them. :/
People who are probably skilled at designing can probably see the design flaw in this and help me fix it... ><;

Because I know to a degree to add spikes (la fosse like I said). It's not that hard. Making less round... yeah that makes sense from the pictures now that I think of it...

I think as someone viewing your model I have just as much right as anyone to say what I think is wrong with it.

Although you're probably right that there are others more qualified than me to tell you how to actually go about changing it.

I wasn't thinking about the observer opinion, apologies.
I tend to drive towards people who I know what their talking about so I don't get skrewed over in the long run. I'm sure you know the whole gag routine with tech supports :P

Try little pleats to move them maybe? Is there a cp or diagrams??

Mm, not really, but here's a sketch.

I don't want to make a CP now because it's so rough and almsot no ref points. Most is just halves...

It's not actually folding the top flap down, you're actually folding i t a little above the the bottom quarter to make a parted mouth.
