(original consepts are good but to anime like and the blond boy is to young looking)
(tryed to make blond boy older but still to anime)
(simplifyed style to get ride or anime feel also helps in style and characters more heavenly influenced by body language)
(the Enemys)
I did reserch in to common problums same sex couples face being together. and the most common where, Religious Ishuss, here represented by a snake, linked to the bible and what is considered a sin.
Society opinion, quick to laugh and mock but do not see the real pitcher, because of this I drew them as hyena shaped wolfs, sitting up right and bold, with no eyes to see but mouths to laugh.
Family Ishuss, this is based on the hunched over wolf the larges and most intimidating, it has large eye to judge.
Legal Ishuss, being seen as an american eagle at first, Protscting , regal and strong but slowly turns in to a volcher when you learn the legal system is not always on the side of same sex couples.
I desided to take out the egale in the end, because the main character also has a link with birds but in a more angilc and free meaning but this confused the audience. I also did not wont to give the impretion that this is somthing only for america or based there.
This was a practice with digital painting to see how I can paint a calky/water color looking drawing for animation. as this is the style I want for the to partners and the enemys to contrast with harsh black pen. as a first attemt this worked well but took a bit longer than planed. 2h for one frame? unrealistic.
Tried ageing later after I knew the steps to digitally paint but make it look hand drawn this only look me a min or so. This is the final character designs of my 2 main characters.Second take better with music more in timeing.
