Characters & Posings (From S01E02 “Flower Power”)

Here are a few character model sheet and posings from episode 02, including our princesses training outfits, missy’s minions, and, a fan-bonus : the model sheet of lil’ Usagi we hid in the show, as a tribute. ;) (We do love Sailor Moon after all, don’t we ?) 

As a reminder, near each posing is the corresponding storyboard panel.

Ep.1-01 - To Find a Princess - Additional Posings

Note : Amaru’s wet design was created for a last gag at the end of the episode : when Iris is singing again on the dock behind her house, she would unwillingly make Amaru fly then drop him into the water, with Talia friendly concluding “you’ll need a little more practice…” (before Iris can sing again without weird stuff happening). 

This gag and also a few shots of Gramorr watching Iris, and noting to himself he doesn’t see any family ressemblance between Iris and her parents therefore doubting she could be a danger for him, were the original ending of this episode, but they were cut to make room for the “first concert”.

The Queen and King of Ephedia

Asked for a long time, here they are, finaly ! The models for the Queen and King of Ephedia ! 

While creating thoses, we had to wonder “Who are Iris’ parents ? Where does her beauty, courage and selflessness comes from ?”. Therefore, we wanted both of her parents to have these qualities, and tried to put them in their models. 

We also wanted the physical resemblance between Iris and her mother to be obvious. (even Gramorr states that Iris has her mother’s eye in some episode). The Queen can be seen as a possible future for Iris. ;)

To answer a question receveid before “who rules Ephedia ? The King of the Queen ?”, the answer is “The Queen”. Jean-Louis wanted Ephedia to be a “Queendom” more than a “Kingdom” : therefore it’s the Queen, who wears the crown of absolute power, and rules with wisdom, magic, justice, etc. It also explains why it’s up to magical “princesses” to save the day, rather than “princes”.

The King was supposed to be her protector, and protector of the realm, so more a (royal) knight type of person rather than a ruler.

You can see that the models didn’t evolved much from our researches to the final drawings. Little color and eyeshape adjustements for the Queen, More significant changes for the King, starting with his cape, but overall we followed our first draft’s direction.
