Opening scenes- 2nd piece- layout designs

Originally before research I intended to do a pose of an individual knelt or fallen on snow with icicles drooping down transitioning to snow and people falling, however this felt far too cluttered for a more minimalistic design. The second approach however was far more appealing and had more context behind the choice of design.

This is the cleaned version of the original drawing prior to its edited copy below.

 

Based of the blue bear design in my inspiration I intend to use a faded repeat pattern for the textures, this piece is designed to be a rough test for how the look may appear. The later designs will involve greater attention to the textures, details and colour ranges,

If you could see secrets- 2nd hot dog designs

These are the two designs for the previous hot-dog character, the main differences of these 2 being shading background and a generally cleaner design. The first is basic design, the 2nd being the more refined model.
