Children of Lir Character Designs









Here are the Children of Lir character designs I have done they took a bit longer to do than normal but there where a few more characters to do this time.
Children of Lir is an Irish story. Lir’s wife Aoibh dies but because she is immortal so she will only be away for a while she worries about the children and they miss her a lot so Bodb Dearg who wants to become the leader of the Tuatha Dé Dannan which where Irish fairies sends Lir his second daughter to marry she become jealous of the children’s love for there mother and turns them into swans Lir is disgusted by this and searches for the children but can’t find them, they are cursed to spend three hundred years on three separate islands the curse is broken by a druid after nine hundred years and then the children reappear but they are really old and decrepit.
In the first image there is Aoibh she is the children’s mother then next is Lir who is a sea god so I gave him some scales and gills then there is Bodb Dearg, Dearg which in Gaeilge is The Red. Next is Aoife she is Bodb Dearg’s second daughter I wanted to make her sneaky and a bit of a schemer and last is Druid Quimlan when he rings the bell the curse on the children is broken I wanted to make him look like Lir had sent him to break the spell so I gave him blue hair and put a wave motif around the sleeves of his top.
The next image is Lir’s children when they are young, first is Aodh he is the eldest and wants to be a warrior next are the twins Conn and Fiachra they want to be hurling stars (which is an Irish sport) next is Fionnuala who wants to be an alchemist.
The third image is when the children are turned into swans I wanted to use there hair styles and there colours to distinguish them from each other.
The Fourth image the children as old people I wanted the two eldest children to look a lot older then the twins. Hope you like it.

Jack and The Nanobot Beanstalk





Here are some character designs I did of Jack and the Nanobot Beanstalk. I set the story in the future and the beanstalk is created by nano technology, Jack brings the Milk a Tron 4000 down to the market and he trades it for the Nanobot Beanstalk which Jack’s mother is not too pleased about. The first image is Jack’s mother next to her is the Milk a Tron 4000 then it’s the chicken that lays the golden eggs then it’s the harp who conducts himself and then it’s Jack as he is very lazy and doesn’t want to walk anywhere he has wheels on his shoes and a rocket pack on his back, he is holding the orb with the nano technology which becomes the beanstalk. I wanted Jack to look like he is not the sharpest tool in the box. The next image is of the giant and his wife who doesn’t want him to eat Jack. It was fun to draw the giants. Hope you like it.

Hansel and Gretel Character Designs



Here are the Hansel and Gretel character designs I did. I see the stepmother as the real villain of the piece, she is starving Hansel and Gretel behind the fathers back to try to force them to leave the house so I wanted to make her like a nasty piece of work and I wanted to make the witch look really horrible because after all she is trying to eat Hansel and Gretel. I wanted to give her a pet and I thought a wild boar would suite her, also I wanted to make Hansel and Gretel look hungry. On the left is the father who is unaware of what is going on around him next is the stepmother then it’s Hansel and Gretel the second image is the witch with her wild boar. Hope you like it.

Little Red Riding Hood Chatacter Designs







While I am looking for work, I am setting myself some challenges to get better at character designing. I'm trying to do designs from different stories, I'm starting with Little Red Riding Hood I've set the story in the 1950's the wolf has just robbed a vacuum salesman so that he can trick the granny into letting him into her house. The first image are designs of red riding, her mother and father, and her grandmother. The second image are designs of the wolf and the woodsmen and the third image is the process of how I draw up the image I start of with scribbles in my sketch book then I rough the drawing up more and then finish it in flash. The third image is the process of drawing the grandmother. HOPE YOU LIKE THEM.
