Preping refference for the human characters

BELL

Bell is going to the be the NPC from the game concept that is pivotal to the story line and game play, I want to retain a sense of innocence for her and as such want to keep her simply dressed and as such I have gone back to one of the inspirations for my game concept and that is Pans Labyrinth and in particular the young actress who plays Ofelia, Ivana Baquero. She is the right age for the role and del Toro's vision of a young girl exploring the world of myth is well suited for my game. Yes there are going to be clear differences but as far as reference goes this actress will be idea.
CASSIE

For the lead character I have collected a wealth of refference compared with amount that I have collected for the character Bell, there area couple of very simple reasons for this. Firstly is the fact that I intend to keep the character of Bell simply dressed to express a sense of innocence that is found in that of a young girl, the second reason is that Cassie is the lead character and due to her old nature is much more complex in nature and as such will need a much more individual style to suit her personality.
Here are a collection of a few images that i will be using as reference and to be honest if i put them all up here it would take me forever and I don't have the time!! Conceptually I intend to fuse a combination of contemporary fashion and that of the 80's to arrive at an individual style that will appeal to the current trend towards retro interest in the 80's decade. I also have several portrait sources for the facial look of her but I have included the main one here and that is Kristen Bell
These 3 images are a good example of the style that i want to achieve not just fashion wise for Cassie but also pose as far as concpet goes when I speed paint.
