29 October 2009- Second consultation of Week 2

I had another consultation today with Mr. Ronald concerning character designs.
I revamped my main character’s design, and also drew in some designs for the secondary characters.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ronald said they all look so different from one another, that there is no way my main character can be seen as an outcast anymore.
He said that the important factor in the designs is that the main character, since she is an outcast, must really be different from the other characters.

Further emphasizing what he said before about ‘outfits and colors are not enough to make the character different’, he gave some suggestions of how to make the main character look her part:

* Make all the forest residents the same kind of animal, so she will really look out of place.

* Give her extreme ‘ugly’ features compared to the forest residents (long nose, pimples, shaggy hair, etc) so she will really look out of place.

Maybe I go with the first suggestion, since I am not so sure if I want to ‘distort’ my main character.
Will revamp character designs and work on (hopefully) final storyboard over the weekend…
