i like the look so far, hope to see some nasty wounds and scars through out the wolf, maybe even a weapon thats struck the wolf and handlers have not been able to remove due to it's feral nature

Yes, it'll have the scars. About the stuck weapon, it is indeed a cool idea indeed, but I think it is better for a personal conversion or a diorama than for the original figure. You can very easily convert it to have a stuck sword or lance, and can definitely be very effective.

true i do think it's best left off for a conversion, don't think everyone would agree on having an arrow or lance implaed through their wolf

good to hear that scars will be added

Do you think you will do a beast handler character?

How many of these will there be felix? Two or just one?

And are there any updates of this one, because I really like it.

Most probably a conversion will be made to make two different wolf models. Conversion will have poened mouth and a slight change of pose.

I will very soon update the thread, when I have new pics from Raul.

Nice... think about the jaws, like the saberthoot! And a lot of ...hair? Like that prehistoric lions. It will be a precious monster!!!

Very nice!! Any chance of have a version where there is a Goblin riding one?

The Giant Wolf is one the beasts that can be thrown into the arena for enjoyment (or under petition!) of the crowd.

This miniature is being sculpted by Raul Valiente, an extermely skilled sculptor IMHO, which whom I have been working since the times of DragonRune!

Here is the first WIP pic. It is in very early stage, but the sooner we can have your ideas and suggestions in, the better to get a figure that will be of the liking of as many of us as possible!

You can already get a glimspe of the pose and the first impressions on its head.

Thanks!

Strange I was thinking of a barbarian beast master.

Any update on the status of the Giant wolf Felix? Very curious as to it's progression!
