Finished Lina Detail and Costume.

I've mentioned the design decisions behind Lina before so I won't say too much here.

I have also started experimenting with the design for Lina's costume. As I mentioned before both Lina and Fundevogel are very familiar with nature, and thus prompted me to create Lina from the silhouette of a tree. I wanted to reinforce this idea with her outfit. The result to the left was inspired by a pine tree. I think this really supports her character and promotes a very outdoors-y aesthetic. The visible stitching also gives it a rather rustic/home-made feel, which again adds to this idea. The design on the right was somewhat inspired by pocahontas. This design I feel lacks any flair: Nothing stands out. When adapting a fairytale for an animation, there usually aren't many (main) characters. Therefore, you want the characters that are key to the story to stand out, be memorable and, ultimately, interesting.

I'm going to refine the Fundavogel design again, and then I'll be able to create a full line-up of my final designs, which should provide a nice example of the contrast in design in response to their different personalities and backgrounds.

I've made a list of assets which should be complete within the next 2-3 weeks. The list is huge, but if I want my book to be worth looking at, then these must be explored.
