Wolverine *FINAL*

[Darmo 303]

Took a shot at a wolverine.  He has a sloped body box and stationary haunches, like the rat and racoon.  The model is about 2 meters long from nose to tip of tail, so it'd need to be scaled down to 50-60%.   They have a wide head and I thought this was about as small as I could make it for the eye spacing.  The snout probably would have been more correctly proportioned if it was only 2 wide, but I didn't love how that looked with the jaw, and I thought the jaw was kind of important to looking fierce-ish.  I could definitely be persuaded to a different facial arrangement though.    I made his legs really thick so they looked real stout.  I debated adding separate paws, since wolverines do have significant ones, but ultimately decided that as a smaller animal it might be best to stick with single block legs.  But again, I'm open to suggestion there.  The texture looks lighter in the screen cap than it will in game, I think.   Let me know what you guys think.

One thing I wonder about on this model is the jaw. Is it intentional to have it solely under the head? Something about it seemed a little off to me. If there was no space between the jaw and the neck, the model might look a little better. See the picture below. My version that I sent here would need more work but it is a step in the right direction IMO.

I'd rather remove the jaw entirely or extend the neck or head box down, vs adding an entirely new box just to sit behind the jaw.  Remember that on such a small animal, the player isn't going to get a good look at what's under the head except for when they kill it. 

The attached pic shows a version with the jaw moved .5 higher and also rotated so the back end is further up in the head.  Still makes it a little visible from a player perspective.  Then, with the neck and head extended downward so the jaw has something behind.  And the last version has no jaw, for comparison.  To me the expanded head and neck exacerbate the problem of not looking as sleek as it should - already a problem at the scale I was going for.  It looks more bear-like to me.

I like the second version in the line from left to right the best. It still keeps the general idea of the jaw below the snout. The angle makes it seem more natural to me and fit better.

Ok, here's a version with that style of jaw.  Texture is the same as before.
