Character Development #1

Just a brief overview of the character development (Sorry for the late upload onto the blog - also the very initial sketches will be scanned and added later today!)

Professor Laytons
Oliver Twist
Little Kings Story
FFCC My Life As King

Further development still:

To which we decided on using the Orphan/Briefs design (In an attempt of keeping with the timeframe of the fairytales).
