Brianlei's, the father, design has been the longest at work. Originally based very heavily on my own father, only much taller. The mouth has remained the same, sporting my father's brushy mustache and sculpted jowls. To make him seem more like the renaissance painter I wanted him to be, I added in bits from other famous artists. The hair from Edgar Allen po with a bit of Leonardo Da Vinci, heavy brows from Michelangelo, the forehead of Beethoven, and eyes, again, from my father. His stature is tall and almost gangly if it not for his beer belly. A lover of food and art, Brianeli has great passion in him, but often it is only shown when is is alone. Reverted emotionally often to his detriment as when he finally releases his emotion, his size making him dangerous to anything around him.
The Son Design: Emilio
The son's design is based off of a candle stick. Bouncy, energetic, and only at the age of six Emilio wants to gain the acknowledgment of his father. Not easily detoured and eager to please. I wanted Emilio to be the exact opposite of his father, outgoing and bright. I thus wanted a design that reflected that. I even wanted his value to be only the brightest in the spectrum, so much that he almost glows. I wanted to push the limits of the natural world without breaking any rules that might disorient the audience. His over sized shirt turned cloak is a symbol of him trying to fill his fathers giant presence. His hair is unkept but stands straight in an effort to show his energy and spirit, as well as his raw emotions, no where near as refined or as repressed as his fathers. Everything it out and nothing is hidden, he's basic raw emotion and a desire to show his father what a pretty drawing he made.
