HART - Character Pipeline 2

At my work we do weekly HART Challenges, which gives all the artists a chance to discuss and explore new styles, and get away from their projects for a couple of hours.

This was the longest challenge we have been set, lasting over quite a few weeks. It was designed to take you through a character creation pipeline from concept to finished model, rig and animation. This is the second stage where the character is polished and you create a turnaround for them, to be later used for 3D modelling. I added the details of his design with the polished colours, nixed the whole underwater thing, and tried a few facial expressions. Ferret/anthro faces are not my forte, struggled a bit with that. The glowy thing on his back is basically a self-sustaining light source, he is an adventurer/tinkerer of small inventions which he uses for hunting treasures with a gang of less-than unacceptable societal miscreants.
