Week 1

I did two pages of these but I can't seem to find the first one, so here's the second!  I think one of my biggest take-aways was that the "Strength" characters were usually very top-heavy and bulky. 

I'll admit I wasn't necessarily focusing on proportions as much as shapes and poses. 

I was actually somewhat surprised how easily most characters seemed to fit into one of the three categories (or at least dominantly into one).


For Part 2 of the prompt I toyed around with a few ideas and ended up going "I wonder how anthropomorphic ferrets might look in those roles...." and much as I tried to go back and work on more humanoid characters, these guys kept calling me back.

Things I tried to focus on were that the "Intellect"-based one had a lot of random dangles and an overall complicated set of garb, but a very simple actual body-shape.

For the "Agility" critter I tried for more curves and a very "poised" pose as well as an elongated set of gestures.  I also liked the idea of him having an accessory belt. ;)

For the "Strength" one I went for a very broad upper-body as well as a lot more pronounced fur and claws.  I also shortened the tail, neck, and ears.

The "Strength" one also reminds me of a were-ferret. ;)

  1. Yay ferrets! Yeah I agree, the str one does look kind of were-ferrety, but I think that's something you would be prone to anyway with anthro characters, and not given any context.

  2. Your agility one reminds me of Reepicheep a bit :)

    I think it's the beefier proportions to the other two that gives off the were vibe. Well, and the howling too. But still definitely conveys strenth!
