Pigeon Character Design

I wanted my Pigeon's to have a simple design, because i new i would have to make quite a lot of them.

My first design was these two pigeon on the left, but because of there big eyes it made them look to owl like, i liked the size of them though and that there where stood up right.





These next two Pigeons, the extreme fat and thin one's. Pigeons all looked the same so I had to find a way so that the audience wouldn't get confused one which character was which.

This Pigeon, the extreme fat one, was scraped because it's to extreme, and i thought that if I put extreme characters in it would be sending a different message in the story about greed in this cace.

The thin one apart from being way to tall and it would have been a job to get it to stand up, it also would be sending mixed messages.

The next two drawings are also a fat and thin pigeon. I had liked the idea of using this kid of think so you could tell the difference, but not going to the extremes. So i came up with these two, which i liked.

I also tried out drawing a girly pigeon, to see if that would work. I quite liked the out come. But if a put a girl in the story i believe I'd have to put some kind of love interested or Pigeons trying the impress her. Which i believe took away from the simplicity of the story.





The last two drawing's are of the main Pigeon, the little brave pigeon who try's to save the day. I had to make this one the most recognizable. That's why i gave him a tuffed of feathers on his head, or his quiff.

I think this gives him a more youthful look and helps him to stand out.
