I'm doing The Snow Queen as a fantasy native american story. With Kay and Gerda as native in their tweens , and the Snow Queen as a mischievousness winter spirit. I'd really like to give her a couple of bear-sized white wolverine but I don't think I'll have time for them.

I'm doing the scene where Gerda finally finds Kay, it's right before he's freed from the influence of the troll-mirror splinter. I'd really like their emotion and body language to be earnest.

I'm going to go for a stylised approach with a painted/3D render.

Love the theme, and really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Melmi · 07-25-2011, 08:16 PM

lol, yeah, it'll be nice to compare both our interpretation.

Alright! I did some thumbnails last week, nailed the boy's design, but not the Queen and Gerda's yet... Though I have a pretty good idea of what I want.

just blocking the pallet in quickly before finishing up the character sketch

laying some quick colors on the characters before going back the architecture design.

I've given the Queen inukshuk inspired snow guards, I've drop the sketch and I'm gonna start painting the characters a bit more clearly right after I'm done blocking the background a bit more. Oh! and I've added the mirror under Kay and Gerda, it'll be broken into pieces though.

trying a new type of snow gard, mix between a snake-cat-native-american-mask thing. I've painted over the howl figure.

Melmi · 08-02-2011, 03:33 AM

some more work (it's flipped, don't worry, I'll turn it back later)

Loving the style of the characters, looking forward to seeing you add some atmosphere, would look great with strong light back lighting the Queen and casting some wicked shadows

Kineko · 08-02-2011, 09:11 AM

Wow, the design of the childs and snow guard look good! I like the warm tone of Gerda against those of Kay!

Melmi · 08-03-2011, 03:13 PM

I'm going to do my best with the time I've got left to really bring in a strong atmosphere

thank you both for your comments
