Piotr Thanks man, you inadvertently made me realise I was going about this in a really long way - trying to design the character as if for a comic or something where I need to draw him over and over, all I need is to get that one key expression and build his head and character for that and I'll be good!
Smrrr Tanks : ) and you can read those, there's no spoilers, just some nonsense from my head.
PurpleScissors Wow what a compliment x.x thanks so much, hopefully my execution can do it justice : )
Berebole Thanks a lot for the inspiration images! Yes I have thought a bit about this - my inspiration is the Blacksad comics, drawn by Juan Diaz Canales - he looked to see what animal a person most resembled and went with that, then did the animal-with-human-traits one (then from shoulders down they are pretty much human).
Hobit Thanks for the link, it was really interesting!
Man feel like I've been totally slacking on this - well I know I have been slacking. Not too much time left and still a lot to do. Would've liked to spend more time on figuring out the character very precisely but I think I will use what I've done as a base reference and get all the details worked out in the final drawing - I've broken it down to the key features of what makes a weasel a weasel and what's distinctive about littlefinger, hopefully those notes and my research drawings will be enough to get something good done.
Looked at the background too, I love the colours on that page, definitely feeling good about that.
Next step is few more studies of feline girls to put in the background then onto thumbnailing the composition!
