This was one of the most interestingly fun designs I have had the pleasure to bring to fruition. Katy Brown (Director) wanted to make this a very fun and realistic world that was strongly rooted in the world of the book. Luckily there was a lot of reference material for me to be able to achieve that feat, but unfortunately the only ones, in the Disney ® book series by Sara Pennypacker, that were in color... were Clementine on the cover. This gave me a lot of room with my color palette. That paired with the fact that these 6 actors had to be able to play adult and children characters while still achieving the bold and colorful world of Clementine was a very fun challenge. I landed on an extremely saturated and print-filled world in which the characters were able to have a strongly cartoonish, but slightly realistic, personality.
