I'm making Thunderians inspired the 1985 version of Thundercats and I want a way to make characters like Grune, the royal guards, and possibly Pumm-ra (although existing morphs probably will work because he's much more cat-like). Their faces are a lot flatter than the cat morphs I'm seeing. I'm using Genesis 8 Male and Female. Before I break out Shape Splitter or try to make my own, does anybody know of a product that's close?
Additionally, is there any g8 character with downward tusks besides the Snow Beast?

Making my own. I think it's turning out okay (muzzle and nose will be seperate morphs). Here it is with the Thunderian ear morphs I did earlier.
Rawart has some 'Cat like' figures, these are for G8:

Oso3d / WillBear i think had Feline Folk for G8, but has close the store here.
He is still active in Patreon and 3dShards, but has not yet released his old catalog. You can him tho.
Yeah, I have most of those, but they have pretty extreme head morphs to go with them.
Some of the dial morph creature creature packs from around the V4 through g2 periods might work for you. Cat creature morphs featured in most of them and could dial from very subtle to extreme. Check out older promo pictures like 'Dragon Rider' and others from promo pictures by a PA named Kaydream for good examples. They might still be on display at Rendo.
Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but there is this bundle: https://www.daz3d.com/hfs-ultimate-shapes-bundle and it has a cat morph. Those are dials too, so you could dial in as much as you need. And RawArt's Cat Beast https://www.daz3d.com/cat-beast-with-dforce-hair-for-genesis-8-male.
Yeah, I've been using both for inspiration. Once I'm happy with the morphs I'm making, I'll be putting them up for free.
I'm getting pretty close now. Gotta tweak the nose a bit more
For G8F, you can use some of the catface morphs from LadyLittleFox's Thistle. https://www.daz3d.com/thistle-for-posey-and-petunia
Here is an old example I did with that mouth shape on an anime-ish character. https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/user/4701855078678528#gallery=newest&page=1&image=1151138
You've convinced me to wishlist Thistle.
...Which reminded me that although https://www.daz3d.com/tomcat-for-genesis-8-male and https://www.daz3d.com/catgirl-megapack-for-genesis-8-female-s don't have face morphs, they might be useful with this project.
(I don't own these)
Yeah. I don't actually have a character I was planning to use that needs these particular morphs, but now that I'm doing them... I might as well mock-up two of my OCs. I don't love the tabby skins in the Catgirl megapack, but I can probably make my own if I get pictures of some of the cats where I volunteer. (I did get pictures of noses already to make textures from). I love the ears from Tomcat and Catgirl but I wish they were easier to pose.
I'm probably going to finish the nose morph this week. I have a couple more ear morphs I want to do (Grune has rounded ears it turns out) and then I'll do the saber tooth morphs
Yes, I am very picky :)
The first version of the nose is done (I'm doing one like the cartoon/big cats and one based on house cats). I have to add another morph for the muzzle for when it's partially dialed in. Here's the morphs so far, plus Grune and the royal guards that I'm using as models.
