Character Design

Worked on nailing down some semi-definitive designs for the backwards fairy-tale characters.

And while we're at it, worked a bit on how I draw my cartoon-style characters when it's all done on PhotoShop.  Just some practice, I suppose.

And We're Back, Folks

New semester, new work.  Lately I've been focusing on developing the stars of my backwards fairy-tales as characters.  To this end, I've been drawing them in a series of interactions.  

Rapunzel, in her backwards story, escapes from a clingy boyfriend.  I tend to draw her as oldest, most "idealized," and generally pretty sassy.
Alice's backwards story basically shows her succumbing to substance abuse.  As such, she ended up a druggie.  She's a little chubbier than the others (munchies will do that to you).
Ariel (or the Little Mermaid) backwards ended up being dumped by her husband, but then being turned into a mermaid and living in the sea, where she learns the value of friends and family.  She ended up very chipper and bubbly, given how she enjoys her new life.
Cinderella's backwards story shows her being left by her husband as well, but she is cursed by an evil fairy godmother to work in servitude for the rest of her life.  I tend to portray her as a bit of a nervous wreck, most likely with OCD.
Finaly, Belle (or Beauty) is essentially an abuse victim, as in her backwards tale, her boyfriend turns into a beast and attacks her, so she has to flee to a nearby village.

Apologies for some of the poor photo quality on a few of these.
