MerMay 03 - Wicked

I had to decide whether to go for 'wicked' as in 'evil' or as in the broadway show! I went for the evil option, which is out of my cute, colourful and friendly comfort zone! This is Joan, proving at not all mermaids have to be beautiful sirens.

Madame Mim

Here's the result of my redesign of Madame Mim for my Polynesian take on 'Sword in the Stone'. She went through a lot of changes along the way but i'm happy with how she ended up. Working with such distinctive hair was quite the design challenge, I thought about reigning in the colour to something more natural (it would've made the over all palette easier to come up with) but I liked it and pushed through and didn't take the easy way out and substitute it for a dark brown. She's a bit more evil than the original and she definitely has more of a darker side but, at the same time, I wanted to make sure she didn't lose her great eccentricity.
