Dimitri the Fox Child keyframe

Keyframe concept for my ongoing story about Dimitri, a fox child who turns into a boy. In this keyframe I wanted to depict a good design for how the story feels ... and not worry about rendering/detail. I feel most illustrations in books and animation feel this way. I am having a lot of fun with this story.

Dimitri the Fox Child concept

Dimitri is a character for my own story, set in rural Siberia near the mysterious Lake Baikal. Dimitri has the mysterious ability to turn into a fox and appear to people as both. Concepts for the fox design are following, but it should not deviate far from the color and temperament of the boy. Storyboards for a scene are to follow.

He is lightfooted, intuitive, clever and has a nack for riddles.
