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 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.

Character Design: The Son .02

After agreeing on a head that we both liked I began  developing the Sons clothing designs with a body that we liked , we decided to aim for more of a peasant look after the feed back that we received. I really like B,D and G. 

Character Design: The Daughter 01

The design for the daughters are suppose to reflect aspects of the forest, the daughter that I am focussing on personifies the poisonous animals that you might find in a forest. 

For the daughter I like E, A and  B if she had a little bit more of a feminine chin, and I like the markings on F. 

Some of the faces here are a little too young because we thought that to allow the girls to not appear sexual they had to be younger but after discussing it we considered finding the right body type and outfit that wasn't too exposing would also change the sexual look that the girls had in the animatic. In the beginning I thought that because they were of the forest, they had to have every element of them covered with the forest. But the poem is written in the German Romantic era and we wanted to bring in some of those elements in their clothing. The drawings that I am leaning more towards combines the two elements, numbers 1, 3,7 and 10 I believe need to be developed further.
