Rumplestilskin: House Exterior Clean-up, Value Studies, and Stone Structure Iterations

Rumplestilskin's house should look whimsical, bright and happy.  I added the stack of stones to try and place the scene.  The carved face is something I found a lot of in Mayan architecture.

Rumplestilskin: Rumplestilskin's Magic Staff

I want Rumplestilskin to be seen as a good character.  He gets is magic from a staff made of natural materials that's covered in stones, feathers, fruits and leaves.

Rumplestilskin: The Emperor

I want the Emperor to have a strong silhouette.  He is the villain of my interpretation of the story so I want him to feel imposing and large.

Hansel and Gretel Props clean up and House Exterior 

My adaptation of Hansel and Gretel takes place in modern day Mongolia.  This is a continuation of the two environments I've previously done.  Here are some props I've started to clean up to make a portfolio page out of and also a rough sketch of the exterior of Hansel and Gretel's home.  I wanted to contrast the exterior of the witch's cave with rounder shapes and a warmer color palette.  The deer figure is an idea I had to redo the bird from the original tale, who acts like an overseer for the witch in the forest.

Rumplestilskin's House

My adaptation of Rumplestilskin takes place within the ancient Mayan culture.  I'm picturing Rumplestilskin as a local witch doctor who lives out in the jungle or perhaps out on the water.  Here are some ideas for what the exterior of his house could look like.
