I'm so glad we're getting a chance to see the works in progress! Go team!
The witch queen! I love villains. Her transformation is more literal. She wilts from a young beauty to an old hag because she's running out of youth. At first I wanted to cover her in all these scarves and fun jewelry, but I thought it wouldn't work with the style. I think her hands could be really expressive. I'm not head over heals for anything yet, but your critique will help!
Now our lover boy. I wanted to incorporate some faerie traits. I imagine him as slightly awkward and unsure. Throughout the story he'll develop into a more decisive, confident man/faerie. His wardrobe brought up the issue of time period. What are you guys thinking about that?
So here's the star (:D)! I imagined her transformation going from ethereal to weighed down and dirty. So in the beginning she's heavenly, very bright, and gravity doesn't really effect her. As the journey wears on, she gets "weighed down," her hair droops, she gets kind of scuffed up. Also, I thought her features would be more rounded and pure looking.
Okay, so obviously I'm not finished, but the ideas are oozing out. My feeling about the theme is that it's all about transformation. All of the characters are dynamic in some way, so I thought about pushing it. Of course these are just light fluffy ideas, so feel free to shoot them down.
Here we go!

I don't think we're hitting the style yet, but it's probably too early to worry about that yet. I'm going to work these to death on Wednesday, so please give some feedback before then. Thanks. Go team Dust!!
I like the shapes you're playing with, especially with the witch. I am a little wary of making Tristran too unusual since he has no idea he's different until later in the story. Just my two cents. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe 3/4 face of the Star is awesome. I think we should lean that way for her. I think if we can portray her hair like that, almost an underwater feel, it will really help to sell the other-world-ness of her.
