Elliott Reference

[On Tumblr]

Wanted to improve upon this picture because it was bugging me. Also more anatomy tweaks. Some things about the anatomy of his species (which still doesn't have a cannon name in my universe)...

*He's suppose to be really lanky but with a large rib cage for big lungs and heart, to help with flying. Also need some good core muscles for wing flappin'. He's got hollow bones as well and is light as hell (like 50-75 pounds). Unfortunately, hollow bones = frequently broken bones, so Elliott's a fragile little dude.
*He's really small overall. I haven't decided on an exact height, but he's somewhere between 4'6" and 5'2".)
*He's got pretty dexterous toes, since he can't do very much with only two hook-like fingers. He walks on the knuckles of his toes sort of like how a chimp walks on the knuckles on their hands. This makes him a pretty poor runner, so he hops and glides around a lot if he needs to go fast, and go fast he can.
*Lastly, he wears baggy pants because he can't stand clothes otherwise. His tail has wing membranes connecting to the sides of it, so he can't just cut a hole in his pants to let his tail through. Since his tail doesn't fit, it perpetually pulls his pants down. Also baggy, loose pants + air resistance leads to some silly situations. Connect the dots.

That's all I really want to mention- WAIT. Forgot to say it was Elliott's 8th birthday on June 21st. He and my other character Dayne were created back in 2006 as shitty Sonic fan characters. Blerhergh. At least I've finally got a better design for Ell's bat-form-thing. His earlier bat designs were pretty cringe-worthy.
