This is probably the closest thing to my final idea that I have yet. However there are some adjustments that need to be made.

As you can see from these images I'm going for a younger fresh faced character maybe to fresh faced I may need to gruff it up a little.

I needed to make a choice about proportion so I asked a few of my friends what they thought about the picture above. To see what they liked about the proportions of each character. I got some good answers and it helped me to move on with my ideas.

As you can see with the these two pictures I went for a very long limbed tribal look. I like this sort of look and think the proportions offer up some interesting animation prospects. A further aspect that I want to include in futher concepts is a more striking dynamic use of hair. I think it would be realy nice if my characters hair trailed behind him kind of like the way a squirrels tail floats behing a squirrel.

The pictures above are just a few quick sketches that helped me form some opinions about where I want to go with my characters design. While there are things that I like about them that I intend to incorporate, none of them reflect the final design.
