Is this sentence awkward?
(intentionally written in present tense)
"His forehead descends at a slight angle, his face terminating in a whiskered muzzle that occasionally opens to display an intimidating arrangement of large canine teeth."
Would it be better like this?
"His forehead descends at a slight angle; his face terminates in a whiskered muzzle that occasionally opens to display an intimidating arrangement of large canine teeth."
Also, do you think it's too lengthy, or is it fine as it is?
