This week I focused on desinging the art style I'm going to use for the people that come from the magical Overside world in my story. They are influenced by Picasso style art as I want them to feel like three-dimensional space is distorted. I started off by drawing some characters as I referenced Picasso's art, but they was limited by the references I had. Next I took what I learned there and selected a bunch of cartoon characters from other shows and distorted them into this style. Do this really helped me etsablish visual queues and elements I could use when designing my own characters. A detail I liked to work with here was a repition of shapes, like circles across the face, it seems to help tie together the chaotic nature of these designs.
As a final piece for the day I desinged how the main character of the show would appear when she travelled to this other world.
