Doodles of the concept type

Description

More concept work on my webcomic project - everything here is very rough and most of it is pretty old (most of this was from September), but the principles behind them and the characters they represent are fairly solid. Mostly just trying to define how I'm going to represent these guys and working out their visual design, the humans as well as the critters.

From top-left to bottom-right, we have a phoenix rough concept, quick headshots of some of the central characters that I've already created and have settled down to play in this story, kelpie ideas, a unicorn idea (accompanied by some inspiration i found in the Chinese Serow), a scene idea/rough sketch, a werewolf idea, a kelpie character concept, a dragon concept, and finally, a rough sketch of a character's body shape and design. The last one was actually just done today - my challenge was to create a beautiful, alluring woman who is decently overweight and heavily tattooed (I still have a ways to go yet with that one, but I'm pleased so far). Since my human anatomy has improved quite a bit since my last attempt at a comic, my biggest goal with these characters is for all of them to be recognizable as real people - someone that you could imagine running into at the mall, seeing in the car next to you in traffic, or waiting for the bus at your stop. Since this is a storyline set in a modern, urban environment, in a universe that is extremely similar to our own, I really want both the character's physical and emotional design to be as realistic as possible - given that none of the characters pictured here are actually human, I want these guys to be people that readers can still sympathize with and attach to pretty easily.

Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged! Most of these designs (especially the unicorn) are already pretty outdated, and have plenty of room to change. I hope you guys find this interesting, at the least!

Love seeing your thinkwork, Carny. I like the fanged horse and the girl with the tattoos! It's great seeing your anatomy work.
