Ironically, these are my least favorite animals of the Chinese zodiac, but they are the signs of my dad, mother, and sister. Also ironic because we just finished filling out the paper work for me and my sister's therapy sessions that will start tomorrow. Whoopie~ (Nothing serious)
For the rooster I decided to reference Aztec warrior women, with their beautiful head dresses and bodacious bodies. This sister might have the least clothing but the most accessories, as if she decorates her body like a nest. Overall she has a Afro-Latina appearance.
Dog was really hard. What does a dog woman look like? What is her body type? Someone I managed to think of Princess Diana, so I referenced British Royalty. Then I also considered since dogs are domesticated wolves, why not do a red riding hood theme as well? So basically dog sister is Princess Diana: Were-Wolf Hunter. I have no regrets.
Finally pig. Curvy and juicy, and I wanted to reference pin-ups. This sister is of African decent so the hair styling is that of 1950s African-American women.

So the next step is to either do environment sketches. The ambitious side of me wants to create a chamber per princess, but it seems like they should share a space to reveal the aftermath of their night escapades. However I still want to create their own space for their final illustrations. So right now Im considering doing the following environments: The kings throne room, the princess chambers, the underground tunnel, the forest, the battle arena. (necessary) The extra rooms: Library, the tropical bird house, the garden, the bath, hallways.
The other step may be to start with rat and develop some more.
