Argos now ready for fur

Argos in progress
Originally uploaded by Altivo

Here's how he looked this morning, before his ears were attached. The ears are on now and I'm ready to add black felt lips and start applying fur. The fur I have is really deliciously nice and is going to give him a lot of character (and probably make him pretty hot to wear, but we have to suffer for our art, no?)

My Argos what big teeth you have o.O

The better to bite you with, so you better watch out. XD

In spite of his teeth, Argos is mostly vegetarian. I like making characters who defy convention and get away with it.

His teeth won't look so exaggerated once he has lips and fur on his muzzle. You'll hardly notice them except for those nice fangs.

the head looks like a mean duck! lol

That's because he doesn't have fur, ears, or nose in this photo. Look at the one with the ear forms attached and he's definitely not a duck any more. You might wonder just what he is, but not a duck. ;p

Those teeth really are nice, aren't they?

Nice?

Argos is nice. Too nice for his own good probably.

The teeth? Well, he didn't choose them, they just grew on him. They aren't even good for biting off threads, are they?

Realistic, then. Touchable. :P

That they are. He might even let you touch if you asked nicely. They clack like castanets too.
