Thumbs by Laura

Here's what I've done so far just loose idea-fussing.

Yvaine- I see her as being curvy, soft, flowy, with a slightly alien quality about her.

Witch-Queen: I was wafting back and forth between her crone self and her "younger" self. I'm thinking angles, like a statue. Somewhere between Yzma from the Emperor's New Groove, and the sexy human form Ursula took on in The Little Mermaid. So far I've gone too ugly, and the next step is to pretty her up a bit.
And here's me playing with Tristan. I want him to be geeky and lanky and totally awkward, but also have a hint of the heroic. In the story he's surprisingly brave and selfless (except for keeping Yvaine as a slave) and I want those qualities to shine. Again, I'm bouncing back and forth here. Needs a lot more work.

This page isn't as well though-out as the other... I'm battling a cold and yesterday I didn't feel so great, which made me sloppy.


OK! Obviously they need lots of work still but I'm going to do a page of thumbs for Sal and Una, and then see where I am. Feedback por favor!

  2. It's not bad. I just think you could follow the reference more closely.

  3. I like where you're going. We have a similar feel of the characters. I thought about Yvaine being nude, but decided against it even though I don't naturally assume a falling star would wear cloths. Also, we should decide on a time period for the clothing and all. Obviously we have a lot to work out, but this is a great start.

    Excellent exaggeration and expression. I would say we all need to work on keeping to the style, but it's especially difficult in the thumbnail stage and we can work it out more easily later.
    Great start!

  4. Thanks Anna! I only made her nude in these because I was messing with her shapes/proportions and didn't want to fuss with clothes yet.
