I've taken the final idea that I storyboarded and begun to consider the character design based on the storyboard - without too much regard for the final aesthetic of the film at this stage (I'm unsure at the moment how I'd like it to look).
I then took these into photoshop to clean up the design and think about different poses.
I'd like this character to have a certain 'appeal' but to also display some ferocity and an element of menace. I think I've managed to capture this with his tooth smirk and horns, which contrast his slightly silly, chubby body and deer-like head.
The second character needs to look unsuspecting an innocent. His teddy-bear like frame has a certain cuteness while his lanky arms (that will swing as he walks) and beady eyes help him look as though he has his head in the clouds, minding his own business.
