New Project: Subdivision Modeling Rabbit

Out of University now and looking for a job along with some spare time re training.
Instead of making the genetic objects from tutorials, I am starting a new animation that should cover areas I need to learn. While also adding to my show reel and boosting my general skills/confidence.

The animation will feature as a music video and should be in a darker mood than previous projects. Going for a creepy old style horror type theme, since it'll allow me to try the theories from my 'Why Horror' dissertation.

So far I have mapped out the timings and events of the song and now looking to create some models for the first animatic.
The location of the video is going to be a field (allowing me to try landscape environment work, with grass) Though I have started the project with creating the main characters, The Rabbits and bunnies (a Watership down style video in CG)


Using the digital tutors videos for sub division and trying to translate creating a Rhino to creating a Rabbit.
It's going well for a first attempt at Subdivision Modelling.
Using a photo to rotoscope, despite the disadvantages, to create a realistic shaped model. Since sketching accurately is not my strong point
