So this is it for this character. We’ve cleaned up a bunch of things that seemed off to me, including moving the head forward a bit and styling up the ‘ears’ a bit. We’ve fixed the front under-robe part to look more the part, less of a shirt.
Finally, we shortened the sleeves of the robe a bit, and beefed up the forelegs slightly. I think this made it look a bit more balanced. It was slightly top-heavy before. I’m pretty happy with it!
Not alot to say about this one.
We fleshed out the head a bit to fit in with my idea more, and tightened up the look of the clothing. The sloping shoulders are gone for a more ‘stylish’ look, and we’ve slimmed the sleeves a bit.
I wanted the robe to have a more dynamic feel to it as well. It looked a little limp before, kind of doctor-looking. Also gone is the kind of teeshirt and pants look for something a bit more professional looking.
Only two things spring to mind right now: The shirt/pants thing looks a bit too contemporary, and I kind of wanted the legs to have a chunkier, more robust feel to them. Maybe a couple small mods to the head.
Next post will be the final version! We got this one pretty close from the start, and it’s really helping me with my descriptive writing. 
This next character is an archivist of sorts. Maybe not a specific character but a type of character.
This is a great first start, but there are a couple of issues that don’t mesh with what I had in my mind: The robe is a bit limp, the sleeves a tad too voluminous. The shoulders slope a bit too much, the ‘shirt’ isn’t quite right, and and the head is incorrect.
Maybe you can guess at my influence for some of this character’s look, but either way, let’s see what we can fix for the next revision 
And she’s done!
Gonna get her coloured one day, but I’m thinking if I ever get this book published, these sketches will be official art. I like em that much.
She usually wears a cloak, but more for the image it gives her than for any practical concerns. She just looks more fearful this way. She can quickly detach and lose it if she needs more flexibility or less-obstructive movements. A cape can also have functional combat uses for someone who knows what they’re doing.
Next up – a minor character!
Almost done!
We got the armour mostly squared away, decided on the face shading, and now all that was needed was to make a version with a cloak!
The final version next time!
