Character design

I have designed the bear character and another design of the main character. I still have her body to do but the head looks finished.

The bear is large since he is the strongest of the group. He can go crazy when lifting heavy objects but is still very slow. I kept the eyes blank, with a small head. Even though my concept has a lot of detail in my drawings I want to keep the style of the game in with the characters so there is't a lot of details about him.

For the main character I have been through 3 designs of her as I was not happy with the first one. I wanted a bit of expression and personality with the face. I also made her older but this might change again. I still kept to the tim burton style and looks more victorian with a pale face.

I will work on the body after I have done more characters.

Character Time Burton Style

As my characters are Tim Burton inspirations, an artist by the name of Andrew Tarusov re imagined disney posters and characters in that sort of style.

These are better examples to look at from Tim Burton inspired as it sticks closely to the original theme as well as keeping the disney feel without any horror (sometimes).

They look drawn in rather than using graphics. I may use the same technique to get that gothic, dark look.

It doesn't look sketchy or crooked in some parts or have the odd colours. More subtle and dull colours work well against the black.

For the silhouettes i have used the same technique of just showing the eyes. I like these eyes more than the other artists have produced as most artists try too hard to keep with sketchy shadow eyes, which don't work very well.
