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.
