Character Design: The Daughter1 - Colour and Eyes Tests

After designing the characters the time has come for the colour tests. In most cases the final outcome is not going to be only a plain colour; there are most likely going to be textures and patterns applied on top of the base colours.

Different variations on the eyes, all references from animals. 

Character Design: The Daughter1 - Final Outfit and Flower Crowns

The Daughter inspired by poisonous flowers.

 Few designs for the flower crowns. My personal favourites are 5 and 10. I like the idea of the crown being rather big and detailed, instead of being only one simple chain of small flowers.

Character Design: The Father

The time has come to design the Father. Both me and PG agreed on giving him and the Son more peasanty look, and that was the guide I tried to follow. Also the fact that he's more of a secondary character and shouldn't be too rich in detail. 

Few initial sketches; trying to get a grasp on mature male faces and actual tests of how the Father could look like. Number 12 is what has been agreed as final face. 

Few quick ideas for the Father's outfit. Number 3 and 4 have been taken into further consideration. Above, on the right side, a sheet presenting how these would look in combination with the design of the Father. Number 2 being a possible final design of the Father.

Character Design : The Son .03

From the previous post of the Son I combined some of their elements to great this new set of designs keeping the element that we liked about the previous design. Which was the shirt and waist coat and his belt. These set of designs were to figure out the lower body clothing and shoes, we both liked C and I adjusted the pants to allow them to become a little bigger to created the final outfit design. 

Character Design : The Daughter .04

This is the final design of one of the daughters , I worked on the details of the dress and crown from the previous post and combined a few of the details I liked in all of these sketches to produce the final dress.

Character Design: The Erlking - Final Design

After today's tutorial the king was still at "needs few tweaks" stage. The changes that have been made are as follow: the crown has been adjusted and it's more symmetrical now, the beard is slightly longer, the shoulders and overal body mass got slightly bigger. The balance of the neck area has been restored and the king's feet gained shoes.

Character design: The Daughter .03

The Erlkings daughters were designed to be twins but one would be inspired by poisonous plants while the other .The daughter that I designed is inspired by mushrooms and poisonous animals from the forest. The final design is a combination of Sam and my ideas taking the outfits and faces that we both liked from our work and combing them. The outfits for the girls have the same base but we differed them slightly to make the characters have their own personalities.
