Albert the... polecat? WIP

lizardillo

@xin-li thanks I've added some length on. It will definitely help if I extend them as I was trying to draw him eating and his arms wouldn't reach his mouth at that short length.

@lizardillo Looking great! Love the multip-purpose garment; very clever!

I love your design of the polecat! It has really great shape and I really appreciated seeing all the behind the scenes with your reference and thoughts. It looks fantastic!

I think this will be my finished character sheet layout. I will redraw, colour and add fur patterns/details tomorrow (it’s late evening here ). I will try and give him a little more personality, my facial expression skills are not that good, they are all a bit generic so will be looking at trying to improve on them. He’s not as mischievous as I would have liked but I may have time to try to add some bits at the end but I may be pushing it a bit.

Thanks for all of the feedback, it’s really appreciated. Glad you are liking the process, sometimes I feel I waffle on a bit too much, sorry if I do!

I have no idea what mammal he’s turned into now. Some sort of polecat-mouse with a touch of hyena think!

Thanks again for being so supportive.

@lizardillo This is such a fun design, I really love the proportions !!

@lizardillo Very nice work. I love how he can use his little scarf in many ways. Such a versatile design choice!

Here is the final. I will submit in a bit as I can't decide whether to take off "spotty polecat" as I'm not sure he's very polecat-y any more

Thanks everyone, it's so nice to have such a helpful and supporting community.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's Alberts this month.

Oh, I love him! So much fun!

Nicely done. If you're polling, I've vote for spots. It's for kids, so go colorful and imaginary.

@willicreate I toned down the spots a little so the bandana was a little more prominent but otherwise he's still spotty
