RELEASED HiveWire Dog Is Underway

[Angela3D]

OMG I'm SO excited to see the progress of the dog going so well - and quickly! I'm waiting very patiently for it to be the star of the books I'm working on

 

[Sparky]

I've gotten a start on the inner mouth textures. Also took a moment to play with making a snarl on him to show his teeth. ^.^

 

[Miss B]

Now THAT's a snarl!

Any way we can get a collie breed out of this dog? I admit it's one of my two favorite dog breeds. The second being a beagle. Still though, I grew up watching Lassie, and to me collies are gorgeous!

 

[Alisa]

Great snarl! Love it!

 

[Rae134]

hey Earl, growing up my Mum showed a Beagle and a Shetland Sheepdog (looks a bit like a mini Lassie)
I think a Beagle would be easy but a Collie would need hair (even the smooth ones a bit fluffy here and there)

Despite LAMH/Hair Room being the obvious solutions, I have a crazy notion regarding fluffy critters I would like to explore after I've cleared my current project load. ^.^

So impressively spooky with that inner mouth and teeth.

Great snarl too!

Not really worried about the hair, but if that's the reason I can't get a collie, oh well. I was actually thinking more about the snout and the ears.

 

[Desertsilver]

There are smooth collies which are also quite beautiful

 

[Pendraia]

Yay! Great to see your wip's Sparky! Very cool snarl...

 

[Sparky]

Starting to add photo resources into the texture. He's got his own eyes now, too, no more green kitty eyes. ^.^

 

[Chris]

Yeah that's cool. Very fun to see your progress!

This is what drew me to the Hive- watching the work in progress. And it is so cool to use the animals when they become available, after watching them evolve.

 

[RAMWolff]

Fur is started to look like fur, that makes me happy. Looking good Sparks!

 

[Chris]

And don't ya love that juicy tongue?

 

[Sparky]

I was thinking it looked a little too "juicy," Chris! LOL!

@RAMWolff Yeah, still need to make a proper specular map so it doesn't look plastic under high light conditions.

Body shot.

Funny you should mention it Chris, as it was the first thing I noticed before checking out his eyes.

Well, maybe in a closeup like that.

I know, I nearly fell over when you told me a couple of months ago Sparky was a she. I always thought she was a he all these years.

@Sparky The Chocolate Lab's looking great.

The thing is too, when you look at that Spooky avatar you'd think it's a big bad dude behind it, that most likely keeps very strange things in his freezer.

Instead when Lisa and I spoke with her over the phone, its a very pleasant feminine voice on the other side, accompanied by a sweet lil' giggle.
