Clefie, the clumsy elf

character-2
Bookie, the smart elf

For both elves, I was inspired from the cartoon called Smurfs. However, in order not to replicate the characters, I have actually received some advice from my classmates and Michael that I should make some changes to my chracter. This includes the changing of the skin colour to be from blue to green so that it will become my own character. I have also decided to add some symbols on their hats that could represent their personality. For Clefie, I have decided to use a bell that could represnt how lost he looks and he does not know where he is going, thus, he needs a bell to show some signs to his other elves that he is at a certain place. Bookie is repreented by a book because it represents how smart he is and the pose represents how deeply in thought he always is.

Fairy

For the fairy, I was inspired by tinkerbell and thus my previous design was similar to tinkerbell having blonde hair. Thus, after receiving advice from my classmates and Michael, I actually changed the colour of the dress and her hair so that she can be my own character that I have created.

This was my previous painting of my fairy which I find it very sketchy and too painerly. Furthermore, with the same hair colour as Tinkerbell, I have decided to change my character.

Reflection

I feel that this project allows me to expand my creativity skills as the character is allowed to be ion any type of world. I actually had a few difficulties when coming up with the characters and their world because I was quite afrid if the characters and the world they live in did not make sense. I actually also did come up with some more characters but as I come up woth the story, I got stuck because the theme for the story that I came up with was more towards action. Thus, I have decided to come upo with a simplre story that would revolve around greed and how a person can come from zero to hero. Looking back at this story, I feel that the story should have also made some improvements because of how it should have just one message to tell instead of two. Due to how much I wanted to create a fiction character in a fiction world , I found it dificult to make use of the elements in the fiction world that includes magical fairies to be part of my story.

However, I still find this project to be very interesting and it allows me to think beyond reality and allows me to explore more from my imagination.
