The Pixie Cinaed (CLOSED)

Hi all, this contest is the inspiration/kick in the butt I need to create characters for an animated film project I have in the works.

Cinaed the Pixie has been trapped in a Knight's armour for 23 years by a powerful curse that has plagued the continent. She is about to be set free and she is hell-bent to set things right by aligning with her fellow prisoners who include Dragons, Elves, Fairies, Gnomes and a young Sorceress who is the first" True-Born-Magic"  in a thousand years.

Objective: Reimagine the folktale Pixie by combining the appeal of classic animated Pixie Character Design with the aesthetics of  Ancient Pict Warriors and a Stylish, Modern Pixie Hair cut. She will be empowered, cool and exude a mesmerizing charisma.

Please find the attached Style Board Brief and more works in progress will follow shortly.

Look forward to your feedback!

Here is a breakdown of the initial forms of the development of the Pixie.

.I intend to rig and ultimately animate this character, so my workflow is a tad non-traditional.

Hope you like the results so far!

Looks cool, and sounds like a fun concept. 

Welcome to the contest!  :-)  

Here is an update showing some expression tests before finalizing the design of the face.

This character has a few exaggerated features and just testing to see where things break and making refinements.

I look forward to your feedback!
