OK So 2nd Mood Board. This one is more about the animation feel and style. As (I believe) I have mentioned before I am going for the 'Saturday Morning Hero' cartoons of the late 60's through to the early 80's. Obviously with Velvet Fist being primarly modelled on She-Hulk, the green amazon features heavily in this mood board. but there are appearances from several other series; He-Man and She-Ra, Super Friends and Thundarr to name a few. What I am wanting to take from these series is very much the design of the characters, though they are simplified, they are not at all stylised like many characters today and those of the 'cartooney' generation before them. These are the super powered heroes I grew up with, and so want to pay homage to them in my piece. Just pulling all these images together was very nostalgic and incredibly enjoyable. This is probably obvious given again I have gone to excess and given little thought to composition, and just wanted to cram in as many cool pics as possible. Hey it works for me, hopefully it gives everyone else an idea of what I'm after too.
