When you look through this book, you get a real sense of the characters of each of these apes. I have picked out a few of my favourites.
This is Tam Tam, a 4 year old female chimpanzee. What I liked about her is her very expressive brow and eyes, something I tried to get in Cornelius.
This is Katie, 2 years, female, chimp. She is just so funny to look at and she also has a partially bald head.
Gregoire, 60, male, chimp. This chimp is right in the age range for Cornelius. I think he is blind in one eye. I like his beard.
La Vieille, 29, female, chimp. She looks so worried with her long elongated face and brow. Kind of reminds me of the face I designed for Cornelius. I like her coluring too, this lighty brown, I thought I could use that in Cornelius.
Kola, 14, male, gorilla. Look at his head it is so broad. He must be huge. He has a nice orangey tuff too.
Haidar, 2, male, orangutan. Isn't he cute, his small mouth and big eyes remind me a bit of Pocahontas.
Kiwiti, 5, male, bonobo. I have posted this one up because it clearly shows teeth. Important for modelling.
I am very grateful to Jared for lending me this book and I wish to use some of the images as a guide to the blend shapes I create later on.
Just thought I would put these up here, these are some gorilla walk cycles I found on Youtube.
The first one gives the gorilla a lot of power and a really ergent, determined look to him. He looks a bit ticked off. The second one gives the air that the gorilla is a bit dopey. I will have to examine these.
