Environment Design: The Forest of Two Daughters

When the Mushroom and Plant Twins appear, the forest changes into more pleasant and welcoming set. PG is in charge of designing the 'scary forest' which is the main environment, and I am in charge of the 'happy forest'.

The idea is to have a central circle, kind of like a small meadow, on which the Twins will dance around the Son. Below are few initial thumbnails. Nothing specific yet.

The Daughter - Model Completed

Because the Daughters are twins the work has been devided between me and PG. I was in charge of modelling the head and PG was to model the body.
After combining both elements together, small tweaks and details needed to be added to each twin character.
