EVEN MOAR CHARACTER DESIGNS. HUZZAH!!!

Carlotta... she was a fun one. In the original novel, she is SPANISH. NOT. ITALIAN. So I had fun with that concept. After all... in an illustrated version... how are you going to convey that she has a spanish accent, but through image and misspellings? Obviously there will be no voice actress to aid my presentation. So I went full-out and made her very SPANISH LOOKING. SI! Si... ?Porque no? (I'm too lazy to add correct punctuation, but I do actually speak fluent Spanish, I promise.)

THE MANAGERS!! WHOOHOO! (I'm excited about all these, as you can tell...) After lots of research, I decided to base Richard off of a real-life manager listed in the Wiki archives (lol) during the late 1800's... because it fits the description of Richard PERFECTLY. He's the one with the temper, broad shoulders, and hard-looking face. I thought "Jean Valjean" only without the whole teddy-bear sweet. For Armand, I actually based my design on Gaston Leroux himself, because I read somewhere that it's possible (based on the descriptions Leroux gave for Armand's career and life-accomplishments) he based the character on himself... or at least the idea is there. And since tall and broad and short and fat give good contrast... I went with it. Also: he's got a cute monocle!!

Kudos if you read all that.

Feedback is always encouraged as I move along! Thanks for all your comments/support, they encourage me greatly!
