From some research I have done about dogs and The Cerberus.
I have decided that I will be making a puppy or a young Cerberus. I have come
to this conclusion because not a lot is said about the younger versions so I
have more room to be creative on this model. I have learned that most Cerberus
have more of a mane than a dog so is lion like and have smooth fur on the rest
of their body as well. Which means I might have to look into lions a bit to get
more knowledge on how their fur moves.
Also choosing to pick a Puppy or Young version of the
Cerberus might bring me to the difficulty of showing how mean/evil the creature
is meant to be when most people see a puppy as being something that is cute.
But I think that making it look evil and mean will be mostly in how it moves
and how the heads react with each other. Example if I did an animation where
the puppy is happily bouncing along and the heads are somewhat smiling a person
looking at it would think it would be cute and playful but if I animated it so
it moved with move more menacing and the heads drooped down or snarling/drool coming
from its mouth it would look more evil and aggressive.
Also when thinking about how people will see my Cerberus.
It made me think about what people
think about the other animals I’m doing. For example owls being
intelligent. In the film sword in the stone the wizard Merlin has a pet owl
that is intelligent and talks to Arthur though the owl is a bit mean and
somewhat looks down on Arthur for not being as smart as him. Also with the Jaws
films they make sharks out to be very aggressive and attack anyone when most
sharks are very calm unless they are attacked or trying to feed.
