Winter Cat: Design Process

A little look into my design process on creature concepts. I always start with getting references for not only the creature design but also the environment it will inhabit if it were an actual creature. An environment always affects an animals not only general appearance, but also its internal functions such as blubber or other internal insulation. Next I usually start with silhouettes while then going on to rough sketches then final design. This the process that I usually make edits to the design that I feel don't work.
