This is the process of how I made my character. I started out with drawing a few simple sketches. I have never drawn a suirt before, so this is fun.

This is the thumbnail phase, small simple sketches of varying designs. They aren’t crazy because I wanted the final outcome to be somewhat realistic, and I couldn’t break that. 

here are more refined sketched/ideas. I wasn’t sure what I wanted with the suit. It is amazing how subtle changes can create a completly different design. I wanted the suit to be formal and real to life, but slightly unqie with character. I ended up picking something like the one on the bottom left, with the suit hiding some contents which he may be carrying.This is the final idea of my character. I had to find out what sort of colour I wanted for him. He represents a fox, so I liked how his hair is shaped like ears and it is red as well! He wears tweed suits, which has very earth like colours, which I think fits the fox theme a foxes are wild canines. I picked the green suit and made it more gray like the one on the right. His sachel carries information, gear and weapons from the bunny gang (or so it could). His weapon of choice is a French scabbard. This is to highlight his elegance as the French designs are very beautiful. Other things which is seen on the final illustration of the character is improvised. This is due to time constraints.
