Process
After researching samples of fantasy and surreal character designs, I decided to have my first trial in surrealism. The idea of additional freedom in shape and features attacted me to this decision.
Only some features were decided on in the thumbnail stage. The first creature would have abnormally long arms , pointy ears and very muscled legs. The sidekick was orginally very large in size and a form of transportation, but the decision was made to have the drastic opposite. The final beast is a tiny pet/friend.
Here is the compilation of the features that I knew were final: ears, legs, and arms.

Final Image
The final sidekick/beast image features a background that helps give the character scale. The use of feet in the back allows the audience to understand the size of the character. The same setting in both pieces help unifiy the series.
The first creature was modified after “final� stage. There were changes in the body, background and overall details.
