Moose and Squirrel

[Chris]

Hmmm, if we could still keep the horsy nostrils then he'd make a good draft mule

I've morphed a Mule, Donkey, and Zebra ages ago. Just need to be finished up. You know... the hard stuff, like map and adjusted rigging work.

Those hooves are way too small - unless American moose have more dainty feet than Scandinavians..

Random image of Norwegian moose I found online (big, so only thumbnail)

Edit: actually, the legs in general look very weird, much too short for one. Moose are mostly legs! But I don't know if that would be down to continental differences or not

Yeah, I'll keep tweaking. We'll get there.

Baby moose are called calf, or calves for plural.

Ahh good to know on that one!! I come from a place that does not have Moose, but we do have cows and deer!! =)

maybe one day the "god of 3D creation" AKA Chris might make you one LOL

and really cute ones too! (not those scary ones USA has hahaha)

But .............. They arn't that scary!! ..... well except when you go outside at night and happen to walk into the middle of a possum party.......near the feed troughs .......... then again the raccoon trashcan punch parties are the worst ........ they are always leaving stuff all over the yard when they are done......and then running into the oncoming car headlights, but the poor starving turkey buzzards do appreciate it.

Suggestions for inclusion to the Squirrel Morphs - Giant Asian Squirrels. They are among the biggest and in my opinion the most impressive squirrels in the world. The biggest squirrel though is the Red and White Giant Flying Squirrel.

The Giant Asian Squirrels includes:

1. The black giant squirrel or Malayan giant squirrel (Ratufa bicolor)

2. The Indian giant squirrel or Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica)

Wow, I've never seen these beautiful types of squirrels before- thanks for posting.

Look Ma! I'm a kite! LOL

Actually, my first impression was of a bat.

 

[Sunfire]

Actually, my first impression was of a bat.

Too much area of skin not enough body separate from it. Hence Kite.

 

[Janet]

Wow they have long legs!

The calves are all legs!

And apparently their front legs are longer than their back legs to help them climb over things.

 

[Chris]

More work on Moosey. Slightly longer legs by raising the body, and larger feet.

Will work over and form the beard next. Just couldn't get to it tonight.

 

[Janet]

So it just occurred to me there are different subspecies of moose. Moose - Wikipedia

Some have longer legs that others. I'm used to seeing them with real long legs. But your's is correct too Chris.

 

[Chris]

Good to know.

 

[Janet]

 

[Willowisp]

Yup. I'm guessing the moose in your reference image is an Alaska moose. They are bigger than the rest.

 

[Janet]

I think this is where I got used to seeing a certain kind of moose. It's from the opening of the TV show Northern Exposure.

 

[Miss B]

Ohhhh, I remember that TV show.

 

[Chris]

Work on his Beard and a few beard morphs. Also reshaping his head and neck a bit more. Will redo his tail next.

 

[Chris]

And to show his beard has some thickness to it.

 

[Chris]

And that it works with his bridle as well.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Moose is looking fabulous!

 

[Chris]

Still needs more beard work, but I'll get it there.

Will also need to create some Antler morphs for different looks, and asymmetry.
