Previous Concepts

Flower People:

I drew up these concepts for some flower people, along also adding some design notes with it. These characters are directly based off the flowers from the film and I didn't really want a character like that. There are also some issues of the character itself from being too complex to transform into a 3D character. Although I do like some elements of the designs so I may use them again in a future design. 

One of the things that I do like is the clothing of the flower people - it looks very Alice in Wonderland esq and I really enjoy that style. 

Mad Hatter:

I took some images that I drew previously and redrew them on a new page so I could explain my thinking process better as the old ones I had were too spaced out or had no readable meaning that I could think of (the images looked very random).

Some things that I would like to address is that even though my inspirations come from the mad hatter, my character is not wearing a hat. This is due to the fact that I do not think that my character needs one and I want the main focal point to be at first the smile, but when I got rid of that I made his bow the center piece. I moved away from the eye style of the film because it looked a bit creepy, which was alright when that was my focus with the Cheshire cat smile however once I moved on to a more innocent personality I had to change it. There was no real inspiration for this eye style I just tried the scribble one first, then moved onto the blocked in oval.

I took the part rabbit theme from the theme of Alice in Wonderland being centered around the small fluffy creatures. I was quite excited to add this theme to my character as it gave it a fresh theme that is fairly simple to follow.

Iaven:

This brings me to one of my final concept sheets. I named him Iaven with the help of my friends. His name is a combination of Lavender and Heather, replacing the "L" with an "I". The name comes from the story that we thought up of for him - he is an aspiring florist with a lazyish personality as he does not want to work in the gardens. He is protective of his sister and will become extremely aggressive to anyone that is unfriendly to her. If nothing else is happening he will prefer to nap at the counter of his parents shop while they are working.

I decided that his prop will be a large carrot that he insists will be important one day. It is the same carrot that he will gift to his alien friend as they are leaving the planet.
