Of Mice and Men - College Homework Practice of A Client Brief

Another college work for homework. We had brief to design an evil farmer that was the main villain with a minion animal at his side while the rest of the animals are the good guys. I couldn't fully add the shade, tone and highlight onto the animals as I hope because we had to rush it because of loads of new assignments work to get done before the deadline.

The mouse is the main character that rescues the farm animals from the barn. I was heavily inspired of "ovopack" mouse design on twitter was such good inspiration and references to me. I wanted the mouse to look a little like miss Brisby from the film from "The Secret of NIMH" but not too much. I had no problem sketching the other characters but the mouse some reason was tricky to design. I had to use "ovopack" inspiration and other references design to get this mouse character to look right. I tried my best to make this mouse to not look too much like "ovopck" mouse design.

The rat is a natural character he sell trinkets/items for gold coins. He doesn't care about the animals trap in the barn.

The crow is a minion he works for the farmer, he keeps on guard to make sure no animals escape on the farm.

The farmer is the main villain he hunts for animals as a sport and keeps loads of collection of taxidermy animals that he killed in his creepy home. He heavily influence from the hunter from "Light Nightmares 2".

I then roughly sketch and colour in the creepy farm based from my thumbnails design on where the farmer lives.
