B.B. Wolf

Three stages of Mr. Wolf's head. By May 3, 2001, I finished connecting all the splines in the head, but there was still plenty of tweaking to do. By the 12th, I had added a tongue and lower teeth, and tweaked the splines to look a little better. Before the 16th, I added the upper teeth, and adjusted control points to make the character look more like a wolf, and less like a greyhound. The last image shows how I laid out the splines to create the head.

On May 23, I finished the beginnings of the jacket shape, and began one sleeve. By the 29th, I finished the sleeves. I also managed the tough job of creating decent-looking hands. They currently look good from the top view, but they still look a little too skinny in the side view. I'm not completely satisfied with the hands, so I may try to tweak them later.

On June 11, I rescaled the head, and put it into position on the body. By the 17th, I attached the head to the body, and added a shirt and tie. For about a year there, I didn't have much time to work on him, but by September 20, 2002, I had added a more wolf-like head texture, and given him a more believable eye color. Next step is completing the face and skeleton rigging, and adding mouth phoneme shapes. I may also change the color of his clothes.
