Elena Sketches

Exploring the siren character Elena for my and Yesenia's series pitch, The Taffetas. I'll get down to the nitty-gritty with extensive silhouette and outfit studies and stuff in a bit, but for now I play.

Elena

I'm hoping to make a brand-new villain concept lineup based on some new ideas Yesenia and I have come up with these last few weeks for our baby, The Taffetas. There's a lot of cool new characters I hope people will find a fondness for.

Here's one of the first completed ones (Yesenia might go through and vector the work in our actual awesome Taffeta style, but my end is done for the time being). This is of Elena, the young teenage siren girl with the power of persuasion over people of the opposite sex. She's supposed to be reminiscent of an angler fish. I made her look more young (and cute) than previously depicted.

Other than that, I've just been busy with Hallmark and some other ( non-Taffetas ) side projects I do when I go home, neither of which I get to show any artwork from yet.

Taffetas Sketchbook Page 04: Meet Elena

Elena is a young siren who can seem very sweet and innocent, but ultimately acts as such out of a possessive need to be liked and cared for. Should you befriend this young lady out of pity you will find yourself getting more than you bargained for. She identifies herself and finds worth and comfort only through the people whose company she keeps. She seeks out the popular, talented, and prestigious, especially if they are male, since she seems to hold a certain special sway over them in particular.

If you like Elena you might be interested in offering us your talents! We need a costume designer for her and are still looking for voices for nearly all of our cast, including, of course, Elena. Contact Yesenia Carrero at ycarre20@student.scad.edu if interested!

I was going to wait to upload this one after the sketchbook page upload due out tomorrow which has this image in it but unshaded, but since Jess and I are really pleasantly surprised at the sudden DA/FA support for our web-based animated series pitch, The Taffetas, today thanks to the amazing fyuvix (Brianna Alexendar) and `Katmomma and whoever else I'm missing, that we thought I should just go ahead and put this one up for anyone watching my account or the blog.

Jess and I are really excited at all the talent being offered to us. It's always a pleasant surprise how much people believe in the project and it really keeps us going :).
