Dancing Girl- An evolution

Description

This is a "case study" so you can see what its like to be a character designer on a TV show.  This is an incidental character from the bible based show I'm working on called "Superbook".  In the script, the story called for a "dancing girl" (obviously, a temptress) for a short scene.  I did the one on the far left first.  Over a few months (and while I was doing other stuff too), I would get notes on things to tweak on her as different directors/executives/production people would put in their two cents.  In the end, someone said, "Oh, and she should be greek so we need a completely new version (I kept the face and general body shape though)!  These things happen and I can't complain too much because I like BOTH of the last two versions so at least she's not ruined.  This will now go off and get modeled by a CG animation house in China, then back to me for notes.  All for a small character in one show.  Still, worth it.
