AM - Yo Ollie

It sounds like you have a great understanding of what you want to achieve and what you want from your characters. The arctic fox will prove to be a very difficult character because of it's long hair but never the less, a great challenge!

When we create existing animals at MPC we spend an enormous amount of time gathering photographic and video reference. We then match our models precisely to these and get client approval this way. You will really need to try and do the same for this fury little guy. Finding good reference might be difficult, but it is essential to model with photo reference in your scene to help with proportions. If you try and model from memory or images sitting on your desk you will never really get a good match.

Below are some images that might help. It would be great to use something like the side image or skeleton image to help your model. Your current model is a great start but it's this point where you can use the images to lock down proportions and muscles.

Can't wait to see more!
