After spending an afternoon looking at stuff on the internet I decided on my lycanthrope. DollyBunny. Dolly Parton + Bunny = DollyBunny. I found a Warhol pic which has Dolly's face reduced to it's most significant elements. Eyes, eyeshadow, lips, and hair. I was thinking about Donny Darko and the bunny in that and I liked the idea of something that is meant to be quite cute and benign, that can be quite menacing.
The first mutation attempt didn't really work out. The Dolly essence got lost in translation. Dolly is quite soft and feminine and fluffy, and didn't really gel with the Darko bunny style. So that idea was ditched and a regular bunny substituted. The quintessential problems being how do you morph Dolly into a bunny and still keep the personality (or at least the character references).
I overlaid the bunny sketch over the face sketch and started to move Dolly's face elements, the eyes, eyebrows and lips. Also dropping the nose and adding the ears.
I'll add links to the pics when I get mediamax working.
