For inspiration to design the characters of the nymphs in 'Halfbreed' I have been taking a lot of inspiration from the fantasy species of elves.
I firstly looked at the portrayal of Prince Nuada from the film 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army'. I took a lot of inspiration for my cosplay at comic-con this year from the representation of Nuada and hoped that perhaps I could take some from him for my coursework this year as well. Although the only elves met in the short film are female I like the idea of adding a surreal darkness to the Woodland Queen. Alike to Nuada she has a dislike towards humanity and similarly isn't the kindest soul either. I think it would be very interesting to experiment with dark makeup for the Woodland Queen, especially around her eyes and lips.
