Chosen Brief

I have chosen too do Brief C: Character Design.

Out of the five different Character briefs we had too pick from, I have chosen too do 2. Pocahontas Billiams.

Below is the brief description of her:
“Willie’s sister, she’s seven years old but much more relaxed and more knowing than her sibling. She wants to be a gorilla.”

My first ideas are of a standard 7 year old girl, I want too dress her in a Gorilla costume, that she made herself at home. From old cut offs of material she found. The costume I want too be cruelly made, which pieces cut too the wrong size and safety pins used too hold it together. To go with the costume she will have over sized work boots, as she is trying to impersonate the gorillas stomping feet.

For other clothing I am thinking Dungarees, as this is the first thing that comes in mind when thinking about 7 year old fashion, I am thinking of her as a bit of a tomboy too. As Dungarees tend to be a bit more of a boyish fashion item this is a good way too show this.

I want most of her face hidden by a bowl cut in her hair, with only her nose and mouth on show. Lastly on top of her head she will have a gorilla mask.
