	It is looking good, but I think it resembles a dog rather than a bear. I believe it could use: 1) Rounder face. Their mouth and snout come almost straight off of the face, not such a sharp triangle. I think this may be the most import to define its identity 2) Taller back. Polar bears tend to walk with their back curved; head at about ribs level. Otherwise, it is looking great. :) Welcome to PJ Edited by Leath - 16 May 2010 at 8:03pm

	Hi, thanks for your feedbacks. Indeed, my bear looks like a dog (but much less than the first versions ;-) ) It might be good also to give it a more yellowish color. I hope to have some time to work on the pic this week. Here is the first version of the other character of the game:
