This is an almost done look of the new character that I intend to add to the Nivukti world

Name: Guvru
Species: Thummok
Description:
The tunnel hunter. Denser and more compact than the crack runner, the Thummok is defined by its unyielding grit. It keeps its head low to the ice, it deliberately stalks through winding burrows beneath the snowbanks. It has tireless determination that scouts deeply respect.

The heavy buttoned coat and the high scarf give Guvru a fantastic yet serious look that fits that tireless determination

Here is a WIP drawing
Just like LohummTi and the rest, a scarf or Tsussut is a must for a snow dweller. Here I made sure the scarf is well incorporated and works well with the character's proportions

It can get easily overwhelming at this stage of executing the concept. For me I started sealing in the base color of the character so that task is out of the way when I move forward. One decision making happily done helps me keep my momentum going

I did not worry about choosing the colors for the clothes because that may take a lot of debating on my part so I focused on defining the facial features while my energy and focus is still there. If I will do this later I may not have something to show today

Finally the color choices for the clothes. I chose this raspberry or berry red for the scarf. The rest is either brown or dark grey and some dusty blue for the socks.

I now have something substantial and productive tomorrow or later I may be interested enough to revisit this draft and improve on it. I am happy with what I have done today
