So, I was doing concepts for  thorn2007 for his latest commission... and I fell in love with this design that we agreed on ;o; I always thought that bear characters worked really well with Native American ideas and I'm glad it was chosen. :D

In fact I was really pumped about this character! I therefore took it further by linearting, taking into account what designs Thorn wanted merged, and then flat coloured it to get an idea of what this girl should look like.

I LIKE. X3

And I also researched into Native American names... Found a good one that means 'disciplines' since that is one of the features wanted for this new girl. :D And thus she was called Imala.
I *did* find some other suitable names, but they were long and lulzy. xD
This is the site where I got the name from: http://www.bronsonbattlecreek.com/s.....abynames.shtml Go look, it has some nice original names. o.o

Imala © ... umm... I guess both  thorn2007 and me? XD I don't knowwww~
