"Moondirge" -- First Steps

The latter part of the evening was spent trying to get our lycanthrope up on his hind paws, as it were. And I am happy to report that the mission was accomplished.

By next weekend, I should have the pose locked, and the pelvic girdle rebuilt. So much for the easy part. The most difficult aspect of this project will be recreating the masterfully executed subtle texture and fine detail of the fur and hair. This will be largely "hit or miss" until I suss out M. Carrasco's technique.

I'm off to a great start, and I hope that things continue to progress as they have been. Images to follow in a fortnight or so.

FOLLOW-UP. . . The pose has been locked, and the gluteals roughed- in: the figure can now stand on its own. Thus the "conversion" work is, in effect, done! Henceforth, it is just a matter of texturing and finishing, finishing and texturing until the figure is ready to be moved to priming. . .

There may soon be two loups-garous by M. Carrasco on the painting bench. . .
