I have done a little research on humans to get me started on this project, I started looking at the human skeleton. When researching the skeleton I was thinking of styles to work in and trying to get some quick ideas that I could maybe develop into a final idea.

Skeleton

The human skeleton is made up of both fused and individual bones supported and supplemented by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage. It serves as a structure which supports anchors muscles, organs and protects organs like the brain, lungs and heart

The joints between bones allow movement, some allowing a greater range of movement than others, for example the ball and socket joint allows a wider range of movement than the pivot joint of the neck. Movement is powered by skeletal muscles, which are attached to the skeleton at a combination of sites on bones. Muscles, bones, and joints provide the major mechanics for movement, all matched by the nervous system.
