This was a sketch but turned into a full blown new character... >>
His name is Atka, and he is a Kodiak bear. Yeah, kodiak bears are supposed to be all brown but whatever.
I plan to add to this ref, so keep an eye out for an updated ref later. I'm not liking the markings too much.
My anatomy is getting better, but it's still not very good >< so please excuse. He's supposed to be chubby but muscular, I hope I was able to capture that... Hands are a bitch to draw DX Any tips or advice is welcomed c:
