Kuma Project: Character Creation

This is a character that I have had an idea for many years.  Since I first started I have learned different workflows for everything from modeling to texturing. As a result the characters design has changed a lot compared with his very first model.  
    

Currently work is being done on the body and facial rigs. Finishing touches are being done on the texture maps. I have also been experimenting with fur.
