Storyboard Sketches
These are the original sketches and storyboarding images created while brainstorming for this project. Hidbon is the main character, a child with a bright headband, that is going on a journey. Along the way Hidbon meets other characters: a mouse, a cat, a frog gondolier, and the snake emperor.
Color Palette
This project has a limited color palette to help create consistency across the work.
Hidbon Character Design & Evolution
Hidbon went through several different character designs (as can be seen in the sketches above) before settling on this character design. The lack of an outline on the final rendition is a deliberate design choice.
After taking a break from the project and coming back with fresh eyes, Hidbon's character developed in a different style. Below you can see Version 5 of Hidbon using the limited color palette and then an expanded color palette.
Secondary Character Designs & Evolutions
Secondary characters include: the mouse, cat, frog gondolier, and the snake emperor. Some character were easier to develop than others.
More Soon.
