Character design exploration #1 - Tasha

Started with some form explorations. More human or more wolf? Would she have a human and wolf form? I went with a single anthropomorphic wolf form to stick to the urban fantasy theme more closely

Looked at the design of the head and face. Initially started with a small, thin muzzle, then made it longer, but found it to be too fox-like. Kept the second shape and just shortened it and ended up with the final face design. 

Finalised form shape and added a ripped shirt to break up colour patterns. Added various notes about the design such as 'Keep her chunky' 'Keep her poofy' and 'Use simplicity' Also added a small look at the underside of the paws so it was noted she has paw pads and her claws are part of the fingertip rather than separate.

Scanned the design into the computer and re-worked some of the lineart so it was cleaner and added colour. Based the colour palette of the lesbian flag (included with the design) as the colours work well together and are used as a reference to the flag (if the characters were to appear in a piece of media, it would be something for LGBT+ audience members to notice, like a mini easter egg).
