Original Character Design - Dragon Tamer

This is not a finished project, but it's been a great journey and it has a lot of work behind it, so I'm going to separate it in 2 pieces. This first one is going to have all the process that it has been through to achieve the final design for my first full developed character.
Here you are going to find silhouttes, sketches, poses, anatomy, facial expresions and a final presentation with lights and shadows.

Hope you like it, and very soon will be available the second part of this project, with lots of color studies, ambients and final ilustration. Can't wait to finish it and share it with the world.
