 James Henry design work:

Ella is a small determined little mouse. The lucky type I'd expect to jump into puddles and come out completely dry. In the design process I thought big eyes with big ears would be a likely combo. Chipper little mice also need to use their tiny paws to keep a grasp on their scrolls and swords, so I gave her puffy paws in which to do such things. 

Overall I reckon my designs could suit their demographic more, with this show being aimed at young audiences, perhaps a design of simpler and easier means for ease of animation work flow would be better suited? Still, I confess myself proud of the above drawing as I managed to get a lot of character out of her stance and face! I'm slowly discovering how to draw each feature (through life-drawing) and it's exciting to see my sketches become better rounded and unique.

(T.Rex Live in Concert 1993; David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust; every Led Zep album; Pearl Jam, Ten; Funkadelic, Maggot Brain; Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction; Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon; Foos, Santana, Blur, Stone Roses jOY DIVISION STEVIE NICKS AC/D- okay the list is quite endless.  The (allegedly) cold, hard truth is that the album cover has to reflect the songs perfectly. So after a good week of listening to nothing but the wonderful Will Dunn's unfinished EP, I felt brave enough to begin coming up with ideas.  When in doubt - run to collage. That's my motto. So I did. Results...
