Conceptual :: Three Doodles

I'm not sure what to say about these. They're a lot of character attempts-- some of them are named, some aren't. The primary reason for a lot of them is to do more practice on drawing humanoid critters. I'll post something more interesting eventually-- like stuff I consider actual art pieces as opposed to just conceptual stuff.

The pigman I'm pretty happy with. Save for the fact that I keep hearing Kramer shouting PIGMAN! IT'S A PIGMAN! whenever I look at it.

The jaguar mechanic girl looks too much like a standard furry but I think that's a fault of the tail and markings. I've got a lot of ideas on how to modify the design. Reducing the fur and turning the markings into skin pigments; getting rid of or modifying the tail, etc etc. One staple I'm aiming to keep is the digitigrade legs, so this'll be an interesting, er... conceptual journey? Yeah, let's go with that. In any event, one other thing I wanna do is make her a little heftier. As if she actually, you know, eats.

So the last image is yet MORE attempts at drawing humanoid 'canid' heads (save one, which is a doodle of the jaguar girl seen above). Since I intend on making a kind of 'species gradient' (for a variety of reasons-- I'll get to that eventually) where there's a variety of physical appearances for any given hybrid species. I wanted to practice on the more human-appearing variety but I wanted to do some permutations, too. So it occured to me that having a kind of ... monkey-looking one with a weird tilt to the muzzle would actually be an interesting idea.

In other news, I've been watching way too much about Jonestown. Kool-aid jokes need not apply. This shit is invading my DREAMS, man.
