Primary Research ~ Natural History Museum

I've always imagined having animals as my characters. Hence both primary and secondary research on animals are important to my characters design. I paid a visit to the Natural History Museum in London where I can get a close look to different animals from birds, mammals to dinosaurs. The following images are the quick sketches I made from the Museum: 




They were all wonderful creatures but I couldn't pick one that would fit my vision. So I came up with the idea to create my own unique characters, perhaps with the combination of different animals. I would definitely wanna cooperate this little fella with the front teeth here:


Primary research does help me to think outside the box and provide a clearer picture of my imagination. However it's not enough, I can do more secondary research on the actual behaviors of animals. Later on I can also visit the the Zoo to research on their activities and movements.
