I'm not entirely sure how appropriate my question is for this forum, but here it goes.
I figure before starting on a 3D animated character I'd start with my references. And for my references I'm starting with the skeleton.
The character is meant to be a bit stylized and is only six heads tall. Aside from that, there aren't any anatomical distortions that will mess up my model down the road, right?
For myself, I'm a bit unsure about the side-view of the ribcage. I've seen other references where the ribcage is shaped much like how I have it here, but I don't think I've accounted for the overall height of the figure.
Also, if I want to model both a male and a female character, how much of an impact would the skeleton have? That is, could I use the same skeleton for both sexes, and what changes would I have to make for my current skeleton to be properly androgynous?
