Description
I had some vague guidelines for this creature's design: big, mammalian, long haired, four horns.
Dished out some more thumbnails and then refined everything into clean silhouettes. I hated it D: Too orderly and time-consuming and it didn't really gain much in my opinion – visuals-wise. They are pretty useful if you need to envision the whole anatomy of the creature ideas, though.

Love these! It's interesting seeing your process for the creature. This actually inspires me to silhouette stuff more often because of envisioning anatomy, like you say, then also for finding more unique character shapes and avoiding ones that are too similar, which I tend to be guilty of quite often, haha. x)

Thanks!
Silhouettes are really really useful. And there's no need to be clean and precise on them. Spending time into making everything look neat and smooth is boring when it's going to be all black and soulless like these, but I'm sure you'd have a lot fun making silhouettes with a texturized brush. Or a brush with a weird shape. Not having full control on the results is surprisingly good
