Folklorn's Troll Faction-- the balance of keeping cartoon elements while exploring rendered elements.
Showing 4 very different types of faeries, plus a full bodied version of a slight variant on the Barrowlands Sprite.
Sketches for "pretty" faces and trying to establish body shapes for the fae silhouette.
First pass of the fae aesthetic-- ultimately rejected due to uncanny valley territory :P Needed to push the cartoon stylization farther.
Initial sketches to differentiate 3 races/factions from each other based on features and silhouette.
