Sketches of New character Mosi Mongoose

Mosi Mongoose is a new character that will be introduced in the Coomacka animation. This is one of the early sketches that I liked. It somewhat captured the personality I wanted him to display based off of how he was written in the sketch but I didn't feel like he was original enough for me. Especially since he's a mongoose and I don't know of many mongoose characters in animation and comics.



After many more sketches, I came up with this look and decided to stick with it. I made his fangs bigger and I also made his ears bigger. I'm still weak on body poses as you can see from how I have his hands and arms arranged but I'll keep working at it.



I liked this the best. Mosi Mongoose is written into the story as somewhat of a goof ball but I wanted to make him into a likeable goof ball. I want him to be seen as someone who has flaws and as a result sometimes does ridiculous things but at the same time has the potential, like all of us, to grow out of his awkward stage and overcome his weaknesses. And of course, as a member of the fearless mongoose family I have to make sure I represent him right. Mongooses are well known for their ability to fight and kill venomous snakes, even cobras. He gets points in my book for that kind of courage. I'm looking forward to seeing his development over time.
