Zoo, Primary research aesthetic inspiration.
Decided to take photos of animals as authentic research for either the main characters to be a mash-up of animals or pets of the masked man and the girl.
The snakes that had its head peeping through made it just that more adorable.
There seemed to be a lot of birds at that place.
In conclusion: Going to experiment with textures with fur. If successful might create cute furry animal characters as a main character, doing adorable activities like luring children into the woods and cooking them with tasty garlic.
From looking at the photos, the animals with the big eyes and what appears to be a mouth in a shape of a smile contribute to their cute factor, going to incorporate that in the character designs.
