Thank you, Thank you, it was fun to try and create all the details to match the characters from the books 
I really need to try this again, Mouse doesn't look right to me

Thank you, I was re-reading the whole series since I heard they were going to try again to make it a TV series. Then I thought that I had the assets to try and create some of the main characters. I am not sure I got them right, but I learned a lot trying it out

Somehow I always picture Mouse as a Great Dane, even though he probably looks more like a Chow.

I pictured him as a wolf hybrid until this last re-read and I found out what a Chinese foo dog really looked like

I've only read one book and am on the second one! Did you know the audio books are ready by James Marsters?!? they're awesome!

I've only listened to them on audiobook and James Marsters is Harry Dresden to me. He does such a great job.

He really does! I was so excited when I learned that, being a Buffy fan and all

OMG I love the Dresden Files and I think you've done a really good job of bringing the characters to life, needless to say I love mouse

Thank you, It was a lot of fun to try and create the characters from the books. I didn't have a good model for Mouse, so I cheated and just use the "Benji" puppy morph scaled up and increased the length of his hair. I wish I could find a real Fu Dog model

I think visualizing characters from a book is difficult because for those who have read the book or books they have a picture in their own mind of the characters ....... I really dread watching films of books Ive read because if the character is wrong it just puts me off watching the film. I think your Mouse char is very good because in my mind he is like that a big hairy larger than life dog.

The Dresden files are a fun series of books by Jim Butcher about a Wizard detective in Chicago. I just wish I could give them that Film Noir look you are so good at

No jest I love your artwork.
Most of my experiment I limit to just an hour of work, so some of them turn out better than others. This one was a spur of the moment idea as I was listening to the audiobook of this story. I thought I might have the assets to create these characters. There are tons of problems with it, but it's essentially a throwaway image just done for fun so I didn't bother going back to fix any of them.
The guy in white is just one of the preset poses from the "Trigger Happy Poses for Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 Male(s) and Female(s) ". I liked it because of the way he was casually holding the shotgun, but his legs make it looks too stiff (but as you said the character is kind of uptight anyways so it sort of fits him).
The dog is my biggest disappointment of this image. In the story, it is a Fu Dog and I didn't have a 3d model of that type so I tried to make one out of what I had and it's just not right.
I also tend to use "N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 - Revolution" on all my skin textures so that usually evens them all out. It is worth noting that I always set texture compression to the minimum of 72 to speed up these experiments and that tends to flatten out the details in the materials. I can live with that since these are never really final pieces to be used anywhere else, most just get deleted from my hard drive when I need more space

I get you. For me all of my testing don’t normally show up. I try to put my best ones up. But there are times when I put up something when I have decided to stop playing around with. Wanting to move on bec of the stories.

Love the image. Never read the books. I loved the old tv show (short lived as it was).

Thank you, They are working on a new TV show that hopefully has the budget to follow the events of the books more accurately

Jim Butcher Fan? ......... I think Bob is my favorite character!

I heard that we are finally getting the next book after a three-year wait. So I just went through and re-read the whole series. Bob is great, in this read through I saw that Mouse plays a bigger role than I remembered.

I enjoyed the tv series, but it didn't get Bob right at all. They are working on a new TV show that hopefully has the budget to follow the events of the books more accurately
