Secondary Witch Character Design

These are my secondary character designs for the witch. I decided to stick with the short hair, hoop earrings and freckles. I like where this version of the witch is going but I want to explore some other skin tones and hair colours. I'm also going to explore her outfits - I'm not sure whether to make her clothes very 'normal' or to go with a more mystical 'witchy' forest spirit vibe. I'm going to experiment a bit and see how I feel.

• I like her extended proportions - makes her more stylised and easier to animate.

• Perhaps she wears different outfits for different scenes?

• More traditional clothing ideas, dresses, hats and capes. Black clothing?

• Always has hoop earrings. Bardot top? More modern.

• More of a 'nomad' way of looking - better and more practical for living in the forest.

• Still not sure about the hat, but I do like the idea of having some sort of plants/foliage on her to show her connection to nature.

• Gem on her forehead to link her to the familiar? Do they both have one? White hair and eyes?

• I like the idea of her using a staff - maybe when the familiar is an owl it likes to sit on it.

• Collared cape - I need to experiment with colour palettes.

• No wand, she makes magic with her hands.

• Symbols and runes on her clothing?

• She is always barefoot - it makes her feel more in tune with the earth.

• Loose fitting trousers for practicality purposes - I also like the idea of 3/4 leggings.

I need to decide what sort of outfit she's going to wear. I'm torn between something normal such as jeans and a t-shirt or something mystical and nomadic like the sketch above. I also need to experiment with colour palettes.
