So my entry will be a fantasy creature who might look cute but have the spirit of a real warrior. Like many companions and fighters for fantasy my character will be a canine based creature, I am drawing a lot of inspiration from dogs and bunnies.

So I have started and from ZSpheres created a basemesh for my character. From that basemesh I have added some extra assets such as pants, the beginning of a rope-belt and some hands.

Creating the hands was quite the challenge since I do not consider myself that good at human hands and on top of that I had to imagine what a man/dog hand mix would look like.

More updates coming soon!
(Oh and so far I have decided to name him Toco but I have not quite settled on it yet so any name ideas are extremely welcome! P.s I know Toco is a bird species but whatevs)

I have made some progress today with a heavy focus on the face. I have tried to expiriment with some different styles for the fur on Toco´s body and I think that I have settled on the version that I have right now. I have added some simple eyes, eyebrows and a mouth to get a better feel for what the final version will look like. Soon when I have worked a bit more on the body I will go over these areas again and break symmetry.

Most of the time today was spent exploring different kinds of fur for a stylized character. I have looked on fur from games like dota and overwatch and on models from shardbound and Royal Revolt, links to those below.

Progress today has been quite slow since I have come down with a cold and thus gotten a big headache. Nevertheless some work has been made in my efforts to make Toco come to life and today the areas of development has been the pants and some overall touchups on the body. Below is a quick gif (handmade turntable, nothing fancy) and some pictures to show of the model as a whole a bit more.



Stay toasty my friends, more updates tomorrow.
