The reason i have given myself this brief over the other possibilities is because i think it will be a more interesting pretext to explore environmental effects on the aesthetics of two figures with a close, functional relationship. By specifying a "primitive alien" i want to be able to show that the two beings reflect one another and the environment they inhabit, mirroring the working mutually beneficial relationships that early man had with domesticated dogs. Outside of professions such as sheep farming the relationships between humans and animals have become more one sided, as dogs become more domesticated, we no longer rely on what was once an important part of our success as a race, and developing making our hunting more efficient and later cultivating the ability to herd and farm animals. Our environment and available materials also have less of an impact on the cloths we wear and the way we dress in modern times, early humans dress reflected the environment they were in, as it was governed far more by the available resources, i want to show this in the design of my character.
This brief does not specify the type of environment or landscape, as such the brief is fairly open, i will be creating a video game protagonist and their companion. Hypothetically the series of work i am creating could go on to dictate the story and the setting of the game, though in reality in a studio i would probably be given an environment to fit my character into rather than building the environment around the character.
I will be interpreting the term "hound" in the brief very loosely, to mean a creature (not necessarily to mean a creature of canine genus) that is used to assist the character in the act of hunting i will aim to make the attributes of the creature reflect that.
By having design coherence with the two creatures i want to show a close, more coexisting relationship in my designs.
lets see if dogs look like their owner afterall...
