Unit 3 Story Telling: Character & Environment design progress

Here are some sketches from when I was trying to figure out how to develop Gie so he can be identified as a male. I liked 2, but i'm still not 100%. It's stressful & heart breaking knowing I'm behind the design half of this project! 

Developed idea 2 a bit.. The quiff of hair would help the hair clip part of the scene, having hair and such..

Some sketches for how female penguins can look. Sorry these aren't numbered.

 My parrot Sushi posing for me, I was sketching him in my book which inspired these thumnails for the parrot..

 A smoother cleaner penguin keep. It's a very messy drawing. It's a bit empty but it will contract more with the parrot world. Still not happy with the design, though.

Unit 3: Story Telling - Character, Costume & Enviroment Design

I decided re-design his outfit for his "ultimate form", hehe. I wanted to make it more tropical and more in the spirit of the parrot world rather than roses like the design before.

A quick design of what the dad will look like from sketches on my story board. I haven't drawn emotions yet as I'm still not 100%

Smoothing out the penguin rookery a bit. This enviroment still isn't finished, it's lacking something. The glass on the left side will be water where you can see the penguins swim - and the right is where the audience stand. It's important that the people are in the open so they can drop stuff into the keep.

It looks dark, as intended, at the end I was thinking of having the keep well lit when Gie finally can express himself within his home.
