Development of thumbnails

At this stage I had the body figured out and I showed it to Ryan.

The image to the top left was an example that Ryan did demonstrating the emphasis in the gesture of the pose. I started more emphasis on the design of the creature. This added more life. In the image I go through stages of figuring the placement of the crab legs and the design of the helmet. 

Here I go through figuring out the shield design, I decided on the vertical design as it showed more strength and power.

Here I've I tryed implementing gesture to the other angles.
