I have used many references, tried to sketch out the pose myself. it was all experiment. i blockout the character with basic shapes and wont dynamesh/merge it until i am satisfied with the results. the Hands of enid and the claw was really challenging for me. not the modeling but figuring out the gesture and pose.But as they say if you can imagine it, believe in it , you can achieve it
i have also recorded a short timelapse if anyones interested
