LoliRock Main Characters Line Up

I’ve received a few messages pointing that the size of characters seems to change on the model sheets I post on this blog, especially Talia compared to Iris and Auriana. 

Well, yeah, they do because most of what I post are quick montage of separate sheets, and I admit I don’t really pay attention to this (up to a point of course).

On the production however, relation sizes was something we paid a really close attention, and all characters / monsters created on the show had a size comparison with Iris, since we used her as the reference height. So here are the two main line up, that were created during development stage. These are the correct relation-sizes. 

That’s when we decided we wanted Auriana a little smaller and Talia a little higher than Iris, that Praxina should be around Talia’s height, that most boys are one head higher than girls, that Gramorr is insanely tall, etc.

Fun fact : on their magical outfits, both Talia and Auriana are taller since they now have high-heel. But Iris already had heels on her casual outfits, and we didn’t want the relative size of Iris-Talia-Auriana to change when they are in magical mode. So we cheated : we made Iris a little taller in magical outfit to preserve the relation size we liked in casual form. “It’s magic”. You’re welcome. ;)

LoliRock Characters Construction Model sheets (Part 2)

Finaly, the part 2 ! (Part 1 was posted a while ago, remember ?)

For anyone who prefers drawing sidekicks and villains rather than princesses, here are the construction model sheets for Amaru, Nathaniel, Mephisto, Praxina and as a bonus, Gramorr’s right claw & left glove. ;)

Enjoy LoliRockers ! (while I’m painfully preparing the next posts... >___<)

BACKGROUNDS MAIN PACK #11 - REHEARSAL STUDIO

Last room “in” the house : it’s the musical rehearsal studio that’s in the basement of the house. (as it’s in the basement, there is no natural night in this room, so we only had to create two ambiances : “Light On” and “Light Off”)

In early versions, this room was a lot more messy, with more instruments, old items from Aunt Ellen, and non-musical related items, as we wanted to give the feeling that LoliRock began as any other “garage band”. 

However, as we see this room a lot, and as it has “a secret”, we had to make the room cleaner and more professional in the end, also to make the background easier to draw.

And as for the secret : this is from this room that the princesses can access their Magical Library and Training Room... which you’ll see more in the next post. ;)

BACKGROUNDS MAIN PACK #10 - Aunt Ellen’s House - DOWNSTAIRS Corridors & Map

Second part of the house, with the first floor corridors (Day and Night-with-Lights-On ambiance) and the map. I guess you have all the house now.

Wait... What about the basement ? ;) Still a few rooms left to uncover. 

BACKGROUNDS MAIN PACK #09 - Aunt Ellen’s House - UPSTAIRS Corridors & Girls’ Bathroom & Map

To complete the main pack. Once we had the rooms, obviously we needed the other lesser parts of the house : corridors, bathroom, and stuff like that. 

All the interior was thought to match more with the outside of the house, while trying to stay modern and bright (which is kinda hard when the house looks too old on the outside.)

Here are the upstairs corridors, in “Day” and “Evening + Light on” ambiances, and also the girl’s bathroom that we see in a few episodes). Aunt Ellen has a separate bathroom near her own room, on the first floor. ;)

And here’s a map of the second floor of the house.

BACKGROUNDS MAIN PACK #08 - Aunt Ellen’s House - Living Room

To complete the house, now that we have most rooms, we needed to create places such as the living room, kitchen, dining room, etc. 

In order to make things simpler, we chose to merge the three into one big wide living room. As for most of the house, it had to be a room full of light. It’s also a central place that leads to the backyard, to Aunt Ellen’s winter garden, and to the rest of the first floor.

Above are the two main ambiances for this background : “Day”, and “Evening / Light on”.

If you’re a little lost in this big house, don’t worry. Maps are coming soon. ;)

BACKGROUNDS MAIN PACK #07 - AUNT ELLEN’s ROOM and WINTER GARDEN

As we designed each girl’s room, we created one for Aunt Ellen too. As you can see, this room is more classic than the three other ones. Truth is, we knew we wouldn’t use it a lot in the show, so it’s not the room we spent the most of time on. 

We also knew that we needed Aunt Ellen “occupied” most of the time, and far enough so the girls can do whatever they need to in the house without risking meeting her everytime. That’s why we created her winter garden, which she can access from the living room. Now that’s the place where Aunt Ellen spend most of her time. We wanted it to be very bright and full of plants of all sorts.

Next post, back to the fanquestions ! ;)

BACKGROUNDS MAIN PACK #05 - IRIS’ ROOM

Here’s Iris’ room, in three ambiances : Day, Night (Light On) and Night (Light Off).

As you can guess, the pink girl get a pink room, full of cuteness. :) 

It was the first room we created, and it served as a reference to the other ones in the house.

We also tested more ambiances on Iris’ room compared to other rooms, because it’s probably this one we see the most in the show (all the moments where Iris write in her diary mostly)
