After displaying the reference, I began constructing the character from a standard primitive shape (square) and then using the extrude method, worked from there but not before adding a mirror modifier to the character so that the mesh simulates the same data on the other side.
After further justifications, the model began to seem more fine tuned and coming along nicely albeit still blocky. However this was the shape necessary to fit the basic construction of the character.
After adding a smooth modifier, the character is now starting to shape. However, there were a few errors such as the conspicuous lining where the mirror modifier separated the character that needed adjusting and although not visible in the image, there were a few unwanted holes in the character that needed fixing.
Now I'm beginning to add the accessories before texturing since these items won't be removed from the character, they don't need to be separate from the character.
Texturing Test
UV Mapping attempt
When I was deciding the coat for this character, I initially decided to make a standard husky dog fur. This experiment didn't turn out very well as there were white lines and strange texture markings in various places that I can't seem to find a way to fix.
Mudbox
I made an attempt to texture the character in Mudbox too. However, this turned out even worse as sometimes the mesh would often blow up for unknown reasons and in rare circumstances when I finally managed to texture it without any problems with the mesh, the texturing just looked rather inconsistent.
Changing the skin
In the end, I just decided to make the character a plain white husky dog as it's not only simple but rather unique when it comes to husky dogs. In addition, I have finished the items, adding the goggles and clock separately.
