Adaptation: Elven Character Designs

These are my finalised character designs for my elven characters:


For the "sister" elven character I have changed her hair and made some refinements in the side and back view.


For the "brother" elven character I have completely changed my design from my previously design and made it similar "alike" in terms of shape and design with the other character so it can be distinguished easily that these two characters have some association.

This is an update about my characters (more refined):


This is the "sister" elf character. She is slightly different in terms of shape from her brother (more triangular).


This is the "brother" elf character. He is similar to his sister with some differences in terms of shapes (more rounded shaped).

Adaptation: Norse Symbols/Art


Elves are associated with Norse mythology. Norse mythology symbols and art could be used in my characters clothes as patterns so it could give the cultural and historical sense of where elves originally come from.

Adaptation: Artistic Influence


This contains retro/vintage illustrations from the fairytales book of Brother Grimms.  The abstract designs and the color tones could be used in my characters although what I'm aiming is not exactly in this artistic map it can be really helpfull.
