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. ;)

Edit : I added another model sheet with Lyna, Carissa, Izira and Lev. Basically, Lyna is a little small than Talia but taller than Iris, and Carissa is the same size as Iris. The “trick” with Iris’ height is applied also with Lyna and Carissa, so the relative relation size between them stays the same, being casual outfit or magical outfits.

This episode was fun to create, but honestly to us it was mostly a filler. So we were surprised (and pleased) to see that most of you love Matt and Stanley (Jerome in french) as characters. 

As a fun fact, Jean-Louis hates Stanley as a character. :) So he wasn’t really happy when we had to bring him back in season 2 because we needed a security guard (“Musical Magical Tour”) or because we were back to the museum (”Amaru Universe” and “The Ruby of the Orient”). On my side, I think it’s was a good thing : it helped give the feeling that Sunny Bay was an actual city with its denizen. 

At the storyboard-animatic stage, Charles Lefebvre created initially an impressive sword fight scene, but unfortunately we couldn’t keep it all. We were able to keep the sword though, and to reuse them from time to time. ;)

Xeris people (From S01E06 “Xeris”)

Most of the post show you the main characters of each episode. But what about the background characters ? All these people you see, but don’t matter enough in the story to even have a proper name ? 

Well, as the universe would be pretty much empty without them, here are a few of these characters, from episode 6 “Xeris”. It’s our tribute to all background and crowd characters ! And if you like them enough, maybe we’ll show you Sunny Bay citizen too. ;)
