CHARACTER DESIGN DEVELOPMENT 02

 *** research discoveries ***

During the research I've found many interesting ideas. One of the most fascinating is the story of whales in our ocean. As some of you know they were actually terrestrial animals with 4 limbs, as you can see in this picture where I collected many examples of transformation. That could help me with the design.
 Our symbol of evolution is coming from the water to the ground but these creatures made the opossite step and came back to the water to became the biggest organisms in our known history. That's a progress right! :D
So even if I don't plan to make whale type character, this "opposite" evolutional approach would be very strong and symbolic feature for my "alien". It's gonna be something like human-mammal which took different direction and that's why it's alien. But in the way like a mirror reflection of our selves.

 *** research discoveries ***

I've decided to make something again.
This time I will focus on underwater/alien-girl type character. I am starting with research - watching some animal documentaries, collecting reference pictures and making these wild scribbles. I need to fill my mind with usefull information and transfer it into lines and shapes of ideas about the character.
