Characters

The characters have taken a while to properly develop into what they need to be.
(names might change laterz)

Crow is a rather naive girl who has never ventured outside of her mother forest. She is curious and quick to grow attachments.
She is a forest Fae and can't stray far from the forest without becoming greatly sick. She is atuned with the forest and thus can manipulate it, as well due to her attachment with the forest she doesn't age like humans do.

Winter is the white raven. Forest is more of a spirit representation of the forest. Crow uses Winter to manipulate the forest. Winter is a mother figure to Crow, teaching her and guiding her, also punishing her when she does wrong.



Bard is a regular human, a musician who likes to travel from town to town. He is highly ambitious, and also quite the player.
He is not quite skilled at surviving harsh elements during his travels since he much prefers the city life with all of the city girls.

Dart is a guy who looks a lot like Bard, and is likely a descendant from bard. He is also a musician in a rock band, and likes to go for a strolls in the forest not far from his new cottage. Crow mistakes him for her long past lover, but Baird isn't too fond of her advances.

Here is a sketch of Dart with a colour test for Crow.
-Blue was too much like a certain movie for me, so I switched it over to a purple.
The visual differences between Dart and Bard will be more modern clothes on Dart. There is the jeans and belt which will be the main difference, maybe some headphones.

I was thinking that the fluff on Bard's neck is a hood, while on Dart it is just a modern faux-fur collar. Bard's coat will be a full winter coat, while Dart's will be a spring jacket.
Dart will likely also have lighter hair than Bard

Expressions YAY
I will post the location soon-ish... hopefully!

  1. These rendition of your characters for this animation short, are so adorable. Though i have to say for various reason i don't understand I'm drawn to Winter, the white crow. I guess, i think i love teaching and caring mother figure type characters. I'm silly for that thought, but i sure do like the pair of Crow and winter. Clever i have to say, choosing to have crow mistake dart for Bard, I will be interesting to see how it turns out from here... As for an idea for the background, I think doing something along the lines of celtic or outlandish would leave an impression of something a worldly and colourful. Other then that, I say good luck to you in your animation short endeavor! Kudos to you, Kiki I hope you do well!

  2. These are lovely. :3
    The washed-out purple definitely works better then blue; not because of character resemblance (I wouldn't know what character that would be) but because it looks more pleasant for the eye and more natural (for an unnatural skin tone) which would be a good thing seeing as Crow's a Fae. (:
    And Bard is so huggable, haha.
