We have to decide what our tanuki would look like!
TANUKI
here is a swatch of representations for tanuki in media, gaming and anime.
we must discuss what is in scope, what we have the skill to achieve and choose.

ABANDONED INTERIORS

Liminal Future Spaces
Solar Punk Future
Animal to Human Spectrum

Animals of Japan
Tanuki implies animals from a similar biome range would be about. Is there a post-human culture here? What are the other animals up to? Is there some sorta Redwall-like society of raccoon dogs, stoats, mice, rats, badgers, feral cats and dogs, rabbits, etc?

TECH ART NOTES: Within this idea, still a good practice for scope to have a limited number of "template" rigs, AKA a ferret rig that also works on an otter, weasel, etc. Less strain from multiple rigs, less work, rerigging, and most of these guys are in a rough archetype anyway. A rat and a mouse can use the same rig, just make the rat bigger.

Feel free to add to it!
Mind maps are a useful way to get a word salad of helpful ideas to moodboard. No wrong answers--more words = better! "If you know the name of something and you have the internet, there is zero excuse to not have reference," a concept artist said once. --Oscar
