Major Project - Initial Character Development

Now i started to go in and develop the characters, i had a pre-conceived image in my head as to how i wanted them to look but these needed to be developed a lot. I knew that each character needed to show personality. These are the designs for the lion(Lennox), the bear(Burton), the elephant(Echo), the monkey(Mac) and the giraffe(Gia).

And here are the early development designs for the human characters, Fernando, Mary and Carter.

None of these characters are the final product in any shape or form, i will go back and develop these further later on once i get a feel of how the backgrounds will look so the characters will be easier to fit in.
