This is a post for my character who contrasts my first one. Unlike Storm who's emphasis was goofy and cute, this character needed to portray a vicious and intelligent side. Originally I was going to make this character a dog, but then I realised this has been done to death, so I decided to make him a fox which are naturally quite sly.
The original drawing of the fox. As I had never drawn the character before, it took me a few tries to make his silhouette iconic. I used a lot of triangles to construct the character to keep with his stealthy look. I left the tail out as the page was too small to make it the appropriate size.
Next, experimentation:
When creating his costume, I wanted it to give visual clues to his background while enhancing his silhouette. The tail was designed to look bigger than him for comedic effect. I personally like the one on the top right, it was inspired by dub-step group Nero (which were AWESOME at Hackney Weekend btw :D). I've thought about calling him Nero in tribute to them, which I hope they'd appreciate.
Just in case you don't know who Nero are, here's a photo of them:
