Ok so, I took two of the 3 characters and I tryied to polish them and think about some expressions. How do they look?
Any suggestion for the villain's suit? Colors? ( btw I tried the usual colors used for bad guys and villains like black and red but I think they won't work )
Evening Gabriele,
ReplyDeleteThere's something rather cockroach-like about your villain... so maybe there's some colour inspiration there; purple is always a good colour for a malcontent; as he's a magician, I think he should have some burlesque undertones - some spoiled finery - moth-eaten velvet; take a look at Tim Burton's Sweeny Todd perhaps - the Sacha Baron Cohen character springs to mind, though he was more foolish and foppish than villainous...
Hi Gabriele,
ReplyDeleteI think the villain is coming on very nicely. As to colour pallet, I agree with Phil - Purples, crimson, ochre, brown, black of course, olive green - think moulin rouge only dirtier. You may also want to look at some early silent movie villains - especially for their gestures and melodramatic poses. Perhaps for something a little more sinister, he could be a hypnotist/mesmerist rather than a straight magician - keeps him a little more distinct in costume, than the hero. Anyway great stuff.
