A horse is a horse, of course, of course.

Brainstorming:

Storyboard:

Sketches:

I think my next step will be to go back and make some of these skethes a little more detailed. I am one of those people that takes a LONG time to do things, so these sketches actually took my quite a while--i just did a lot of editing and refining along the way--i need to work onspeeding things up a bit.

I really like the idea of the horse's mouth/teeth, because I am referenceing a talking horse. I think I will try a little more at this direction, eventhough my horse illustration skills are kinda funny...

more to come!
