What if Merida wasn't able to save her mother? What if Mor'du wasn't so intent on killing Merida? Would they have teamed up and lived together in the wilds deploying guerilla tactics on anyone trying to hunt her brothers? Only the wisps may know.
The reference I was using came from a friend https://twitter.com/SGVY. I told her of an overall concept I'd been trying to do but was struggling with the designs. I know that a good concept will make or break a design so having something to work from that was clear really helped this scene work. She sent me this idea http://montrose.is/sketching/201907292328.html a few weeks later and I've been chipping away at it since trying to get it completed before the end of the year. If this were to get printed and painted, it would stand about 7cms tall because Mor'du is so large.
I feel like I represented the scene while changing things a little to fit the narrative a little better. I definitely need to do more animal sculptures.

this started with Merida and getting her into position. The image is the reference picture I was using from my friend https://twitter.com/SGVY who did the initial concept. http://montrose.is/sketching/201907292328.html
