Echina's Model Sketch (Tales of Faenia project) (Patreon)

Boy, did I meander back and forth with this lovely squirrel gal's design... I didn't know at first which way the wind would blow here, but through trial and error (really, you don't even wanna know how many times I sketched and re-sketched her until I finally felt satisfied with the outcome), we now finally have a definite, concrete model for Echina, the Squirrel Prankster!

Redesigning and reimagining old concepts of certain characters (like Sira, Hebichi and eventually Lythis, for example) is one thing... But doing them from whole cloth (like Echina or... Everybody else on the Tales of Faenia project, to be honest) based only on my narrative and verbal descriptions is another thing altogether.

Anyways, this was a fun one :D Frustrating at first, sure, but hey... Sometimes the struggle makes the outcome all the more enjoyable.

Fate out!!

NEXT MODEL: Velia, the Forest Caretaker (Harpy/Owl Girl) (Man, this one's gonna be even more challenging... The things I get myself into xD)
