I worked a lot on the tiger design. I took inspiration from Japanese prints of past Emperors, however after further research I feel I should dress him in more muted colors to highlight his illness.

I feel like I have a clear grasp over story boarding as the narritive is so compelling. We thought of many ways to simplify the stop motion whilst still holding the nature of the story.
