Inspirations And moodboard

I am fixed on doing a snow queen as my Final piece!

So I  wanted to see different types of snow queens- hoping it will make a good impact on my final piece. I am looking at other artwork, trying to see what I can use in my artwork, as I want to communicate my theme of the cold well (powerful snow queen who wants love and is slowly being destroyed, by the cold and needs a true love kiss to help).

Snow queen of Games

 I am analyzing this because I am wondering what makes this work so successful.

(League of Legends)

BY PABRO

Here is a Snowstorm, named Sivir. I like the fact over here in this is not obvious that she is a snow queen, but has elements that she is part of the snow hero family. I like her weapon as it shows power and represents her well as a character. However, I don't think this is for me, as the colors are not what I am looking for and I want my theme to do tell the story. Nevertheless. I think it's a good character, the character is different, she looks powerful, the interesting angle and pose, makes you want to play the game. They have thought about the character well. This could make a good character, because she looks powerful and looks like she can fight a good fight, which makes people wanting to play this game.

Snow queen of films  (live action)

(David Wu, Snow queen 2002)
I liked the pale skin with the white outfit, very fabulous with lots of intricate details! I want to incorporate the lack of emotion that the snow queen has in this photo on to my own work.
The coat she is wearing is interesting as it spiky just like ice. I like how they are using the theme of cold in different ways and putting it in onto her body. 

After doing looking at things as a whole, i started to look into detail, such as hair style I would like my character to have, the body positions from other artists, the body type I would like her to have and the reasons why and how it will link with my theme of a snow queen with a good heart.

Crown 

I really like when the crown emerges with the skin. To me, it shows power, strengths and a sense of something different, unique. However, I will change it by using a different sort of pattern, such as snowflakes. 

Here I also like the trail of gems on the side of her neck. It represents the chills on your back and that is something i want in my Final piece, little gems that are tailing along.

Make-up

As we all know I am going for that pale look, I thought it would be nice to have a contrast of warm, from within. I came across this photo which represents my idea, really well, so I want to incorporate this into my own work. The vibrate red, displays a sense of gateway to the heart, as the heart is only keeping her mouth warm. Which also represents the fact that she is waiting for her true love's kiss, that is why she hasn't died from the cold, as her heart is keeping her lips warm for the kiss of her true love!

I like the harsh contour on the cheekbone, as it has demonstrated in the photo on the left. The contour brings up the cheekbones, it gives off  a harsh appearance and this is something I can add to my own work because my concept is someone who is strong, intimated and powerful in power, but has a sense of facileness to her

Here I like the untidy eyebrows, gives character to the person. A character of boldness, out there. something i will like to give to my character, but as well as it shows a sense of coldness and stiffness in the eyebrows, which will work well with my character

Clothes 

I was actually inspired by a lot of lace, as its very intricate and shows class and gentleness.

Here I like how the lace wedding dress falls onto her, However, I don't like the long sleeves that she is wearing, as i don't vision my character wearing it, in such a way. I see more of a short sleeve. However I will use this concept of lace, but shape the lace as snowflakes, as it would bring out my character. 

Originally I wanted to give her a veil, but I thought it might bring out a lot more of the wedding theme, as I didn't want that, so I remove it and thought I should give her a crown and a very big, overpowering crown that she will look good in.

Complete mood board of how I am imaging everything

Here are images where I would like to add to my concept art. I like the poses of frozen with the ice power in both photos, showing strength.
In the far right photo, the women blowing the cold. I like how the cold is all around her.
This mood board is to show the feel of how I want to present my snow queen, picking out small elements of each one to create a whole concept art of my own.
