These are the two character designs of Eliza the elephant and Meep the mouse. There are before and after shots. The before shots are the ones on the left and are the ones that I presented to the design group including Mike. The after shots are the ones on the right and what I took into consideration after I had spoken to the group and Mike.

With both characters I was told that I needed to soften the dark colours that I had decided to highlight around their bodies as they were too much. In addition to this I also decided to use softer colours in general, because I could see that it wasn’t as realistic as I had wanted it to be with the stronger colours. With Meep I also decided to shorten his nose and to give him a sad facial expression, because I hadn’t yet included that and I felt it was very important to his character.

With Eliza, I wanted to make sure it looked like she was smiling, as she was very cheerful and the opposite of Meep in nearly every sense. The flower I could erase if I wanted to but I wanted this to her initial character design. I quite like these characters as I feel they reflect the ideas that I wanted to show to my audience.
