Research Sketches

after deciding which character i wanted to draw i decided to start looking closely into anatomy drawings and muscle structures fr wolfs, which would help me create and deigns different types of body shapes, hair styles, and give me a clear understanding of where each muscle should be for when i model each character.

Leah's toys

Ok so considering the fact that I'm now adding a gun and a MOTORBIKE into the mix of things for my final character Leah. I decided to chose a PGM-338 for her long range rifle, and a Harley Davidson Breakout as i felt it was close to something i feel like she would ride considering her style, however i didn't want it customised seeing as she's meant to kill her target and make a clean get away without being noticed, i felt that a steampunked-up Motorbike might make her easy to spot if she was ever discovered.
