Here we have Breanne coming out of her apartment in the winter to head out for some errand, class, seminar, or perhaps just for fun.

I tried to go beyond a basic background again. I figure if I keep trying every so often, it will be good practice. I know the steps leading to the door in the back are very small, it was a mixture of perspective issues on my part and me trying to get the steps to match the character's pose.
As for Breanne herself, I went and tried adjusting her design to make her seem more bearish than before. I also wanted her to seem more mature than some of my other characters without looking too serious, though that's still a work in progress. The goal I sort of have in mind right now is to make Sasha look more like an undergraduate, where Breanne looks more like a grad student. I've also been playing around with trying to push her physique toward thick and stocky rather than simply being fat in effort to keep her build similar to what one might think of for her species. Her design will probably continue to evolve beyond this point, but I felt like it was a good start in the least.

I based this picture off pieces from various references. I tried to get the upper body pose from one photograph, some help with the leg anatomy with another photograph, and then I looked up some drawings of bears for help on the face. As for the background, I just went and searched for Brownstone Apartments on the internet and checked out the various images.

I hope you all enjoy it.
