Thanks for the advice guys :D
yeah the notes are all over the place, It was fun to do and I just went with the flow, but it did give some insight into searching references and designing the character. As for variations Im in a huge comfort zone and what I do is I take the one design I visualised in my head and translate it onto paper, then over the course of the work I modify it, add suble changes here and there, change parts, etc. Once I have a strong visual idea in my head it is hard to trump that with following variations, they feel uninspired and havent usually helped me much.
So this character is from the northern sect of the house, the environment there is partially snowy and that explains the light furs he has.
Heres the first sketch I did from head, to see where my weaknesses lie, right now the biggest ones seem to be feet, the wolf and the bird. Also HANDS.
Time to do studies and use reference. Also now that Ive stumbled on my own, it kinda motivates me to do studies more.
