Where my earlier design inspiration came from such character designs as those for the
Scooby-Doo gang and the
Archie comics, this new style is more inspired by
Kim Possible and
Sabrina: the Animated Series. Something else that factored in to this simplified design was watching
Teen Titans GO!, and comparing the style of that show to the original
Teen Titans on which it is based.
GO! is more lighthearted than the original, and their visual style reflects that. It is my hope for
The Navigators that the visual style will match the intended tone of the stories.
Here is some of my intermediate work on the new style, where I began to also experiment with color:
In going over the scripts and storylines for the show, my collaborator and I also came up with a new character - Daman. Daman is there to cause trouble for our heroes, and serve as an obstacle to their goals. As a counterpoint to the kids' guardian angels (seen above), Daman is a demon, but nobody realizes it at first.
In the next post I will share the body designs as they are finalized.
