Here's what I have done so far.

retopologizing the singing rat's head

topology change in progress. Zbrush is giving me hard time, crashing quite often (usually when I'm trying to save my work).

zbrushing singing rat's head. After 6 hours of work still not happy with the result.


and the next version. Added forehead, cheekbones, bigger ears and nose. So far I'm happy with it and will let it settle for a while. Time to work on rat's body!

first 25 sec of storyboard

arrival of my new laptop is delayed so I'm pretty much stuck with drawing stage at the moment.So not to waste time, I did some storyboard drawing.
