Looks really good! Just the alphas bug me; they look like I used to do them back in 2009 - too regular and even, like teeth on a saw. Also the head could be a bit bigger, and the neck and cheeks wider.
Yeah I understand what you mean, I tried making them a bit more uneven. Also more views of the model,

Yeah, but it still looks like one straight line when you zoom out, and still fairly even. I try to get a more natural look by arranging the hair in clumps, and changing the length of these clumps so it alternates from short to long and medium, randomly; you want randomness on a deeper level rather than just variation in the individual hair strands.

Hi guys, is really nice to see you are making a tanuki. We really need one. I don't know if you choosed the right model for it (my modified model for the bush dog is kind of crappy :P ) because it looks kind of weird from the front view. The problems that are bothering me are: the head looks too small, the neck too long (both of this things could maybe be resolved by adding alphas in the neck? idk) and the legs look too long as well. I don't know if those things are modifiable though because i remember how much of a pain was for zeros to rig the bush dog (mostly because of the short legs and neck that it was supposed to have). I think we ended up settling with longer neck and legs. That is why i think this model may not be the best one to make tanuki.

Maybe DMs fox or Yukon's raccoon could work better?

Just my thoughts :P

I think it might be because raccoon dogs can look so fluffy, that make there legs appear short. When the fur isn't fluffy, they look more like a fox,

and look like a badger when full on fluffy

I tried to go for an intermediate stage in terms of overall shape, and the Bush dog model seemed to fit the bill the most.

@Ignacio:
I scaled the head up a bit and indeed I think it looks better,

However I fail to see the problem with the neck, and the legs look fine to me too. Sure if you compare it with a super fluffy one like the second photo above they look a bit too long, but they are fine compared to medium-fluffy ones,

Yes indeed, looking at pictures of "not so fluffly" tanukis i can see how the legs are ok. And my problem with the neck comes from the front view basically. I feel like it is missing alphas down and around the neck, but maybe is just me :P

The last model is IMHO better - looks like a "not so fluffy" raccoon dog in reality :P. Great work on the raccoon dog! I've made one with Ailurus many years ago, but it was somewhat ugly. This one seems to be a RR-like UCA. I cannot wait for it!

Beautiful job on the tanuki so far! I can't wait to see how it looks in-game!

That looks really nice guys, for model stuff, I'd personally use my raccoon's head, because the shape fit's more or less really nicely, and for the body the already existing parts ;)

An ingame teaser, I feel like it's too small (the insects food is for comparison) should it be made bigger and if so, how much bigger?

Like 3/4 size of the red fox should be OK.
