Artefact 3 - the Child revisited

Quotes about the Jungian Child archetype:
"The mature personality of the Child archetype nurtures that part of us that yearns to be lighthearted and innocent, expecting the wonders of tomorrow, regardless of age." [source]

"Within each of us, the Innocent is the spontaneous, trusting child that, while a bit dependent, has the optimism to take the journey." [source]


The Designs
I'm branching off into two time periods from now on. Renaissance and modern day. So I'll start with the two designs I had based around those time periods.

The Question
Take a look at the two designs. Do these two characters look like how you would associate a Child archetype? If not, what would you suggest to alter their designs?
- colours?
- build?
- age?
- body language/expression?
- clothing?


Keep in mind that you can suggest anything you want for these designs. This way I can build up a variety of designs and with feedback and analysis, it will be much easier to figure out what works for these designs and why. Please bear in mind the general time periods when leaving feedback.

I thank everyone in advance for their feedback.

Simulated client project feedback

Bit late writing this, but this PRP is a pain in the neck. So, we showed our animation's to the class and got feedback. Mine was as follows:

- excellent character designs, nice and simple
- could draw people back to watch it again due it's oddness
- 2D and 3D worked very well together
- needed simpler messages so they could be read better (possibly voice over)
- speed up the animation

That's pretty much it, so I was really pleased ^^ I figured the pacing'd be a problem, along with the messages, so there wasn't anything said that I didn't already expect. I might go back and make those changes then reupload it to comparel later.
