<br /><div>Or, just one specific cub to be exact. I have the beginnings of a narrative idea in my head, so I've started out by doing several drawings of this little guy (also it's a nice exercise in trying to keep consistant character design). Now, I'm off to have a coffee and attempt some storyboarding :)</div>
