The stork and the frog

a bit of design amongst studies this week!

Ragnar from the tv show "Vikings"

and some chara design; I made 50 thumbs and chose the ones I liked most; made some more developped sketches; And finally made a final design; I hesitated between 2 kinds of silhouette, the strongest body type finally got my preference. She is the Princess of the Stork House (damn, stork, stark... coincidence? just noticed :p), destined to hunt for demon frogs... Ultimate prize being the King frog, development below;

this is the most final version atm, I attached some thumbs below; above is a detail from the final illustration, still at early sketch stage
