Before starting a PinUp, I have to get a good idea of how both the body type I will use, the species' various traits, plus theme and posing will even work.
I do this by exploring each thing through sketches, to see what works, what doesn't and, what can be tweaked or changed to make it look better.
Since I will be away for half of November and December, I decided to start working on both of these months' pinups! So today I give to you two whole docs of concept sketches of each~
It's been really fun exploring these body types and characters in general. I can't decide if I want buff reindeer or twink reindeer...then I realised I could totally put both in if I want, so I will~
