Rise of the Guardians is one f my favourite animated films and it also probably has my favourite set of character designs too.
I am really interested in character designs. I enjoy building upon basic shapes to create interesting characters, and I really like this sheet of basic shapes because you can identify which character is which shape based on the colour and shape.
The main set of characters designs from this movie are the ones of Bunnymund who is meant to be the Easter bunny.
There was a clear exploration of different styles from various character design artists, creating Bunnymund as different personalities based on his appearance.
I really like the drastic switch between each artists interpretation of the character. I think it's fascinating how each individual artist interprets his personality and characteristic in different ways.
This is probably the closest looking version to the final characters appearance. I really like the contrast between the bold, block colours with the sketchiness of the fur. I have always found it really interesting when productions are attempting to make animals human, but still aim to keep certain animal characteristics present.
This is probably my favourite because of how cute and round he is, but also the combination of the metal and the softness of the bunny is kind of cool.
I feel like overall, you can clearly see how important each interpretation of the characters personality is in the development of a characters appearance, and how certain characteristics were developed further, and are present in the final character.
