Character Design Development

I started quite slow with this project, and in the first feedback round from James Henry, he said that Runepaw had enough contributions. I've only made a couple of few sketches of a viking mouse. So now I've gone for another idea instead, West Country. 

West Country is about a girl and her brother who moves with their mother, she's an author, to a village in Cornwall, Westmouth. The siblings go on adventures and meets ghost’s of past relatives who helps them on their task to find the sunken city. The TV show is aimed to be funny/spooky made in CGI/puppetry. What caught my eye with this idea was the “spooky” and puppetry, and I was inspired my Tim Burton and his animations. Looking at his films like Paranorman, Frankenweenie, Coraline, and even Corpse Bride and a Nightmare before Christmas, I want to make a spooky design that is still funny and friendly.

..and again, some new moodboards!
