#it’s kinda boring character design wise but idrc

[j-nor]

[id: three blue pencil sketches of snow queen designs: cold and refined in long robes with poofy sleeves, all long lines; buried in massively oversized fur and fine cloth, with a staff and hat shaped like the top of an Egyptian column; blue skinned and buff in a sleeveless mermaid dress.

Two in pastels on black of a woman with blue skin, blue lips, and blue teardrop shaped hair sticking up with side bangs, in a dress with spiky feathers around the collar and hem. In the first she is singing dramatically, mouth huge, arms flung wide, and slightly crouched. In the second, she is hugging herself while singing softer.

Then two digital pieces made of flat blocks of color. In the first, next to Anna (pretty much her movie design) a superhumanly tall woman (like her hips would be at Anna’s face level is she were standing straight), thin and angular, crouches down to put her hand under Anna’s chin. She has blue skin and lips like the last one, but her hair is covered with a white cap on which a spiky crown is perched, and is wearing blue starburst earrings, silver elbow-length gloves over her slinky white dress, and a silver living ermine is perched around her shoulders. The next digital pieces is curvy and silver, with a tightly cinched waist and a slit up her sparkling silver long trailing dress though which she is sticking her elegant heeled blue leg (there is no difference between the shoe and her leg). Her skin is also blue with blue lips, but her hair is silver, swept sideways in a teardrop shape, and she is laughing with her eyes squeezed closed from the force of it. Loops of silvery ice crystals like jewels hang from her sleeves, proofed at the shoulder slightly, and her neckline is scalloped and punching.

The final piece of concept art is drawn in a 101 Dalmatians style. Anna, in large hat and single braid but final face, leans back warily from the queen, who is leaning back luxuriously with her eyes closed as she pets her furs, which contain live white ferrets among them, who are peeking out curiously. She has the blue hair and lips of previous designs, as well as the white cap, but hers is crowned with large flexible looking branches of a snowflake.

[id: scenes from said movie. In the first, a blonde girl in a red dress with white trim down the center like Santa Claus, starts to curl in on herself, looking anxious, while an angry looking girl with short black hair sits next to her. In the next two pictures, the blonde girl in red, now with a matching hood pulled up, rides a huge reindeer significantly taller than her at the shoulder through the snow. An old woman with silver hair trailing out of her fur-lined hood prepares a fish next to a roaring fire in a stone fireplace with a large pot hanging in it. The Snow Queen, dressed in a simple white dress and wearing an elegant tiered crown, sits implacably on a massive throne amid a crystal palace of ice. The angry girl from before, her feet bare and a knife at her waist, sits on a pile of blankets looking stern as her shadow is cast large on the wall behind her. An old woman in boots sits below the tiny blonde girl in red and rests a hand on her knee in comfort. The same woman sitting and looking grim, with her own large shadow behind her.

A close-up of the Snow Queen’s blue face, eyebrows lifted, as she sits on her throne. Her crown angles up like a tall trapezoid for the first level, and covers her ears and the back of her head as well. An angry blond boy, his own skin starting to turn blue, turns around angrily from where he is working on a three-d puzzle made of ice while perched on massive icy steps. The blonde girl, now barefoot and in a red skirt, white blouse, and blue shawl, walks hesitantly on the icy floor between massive ice crystals. A closer look at her face as she anxiously holds her hands in front of her chest.]/end id.

[id: screenshot of a Wikipedia article titled: “History of Russian animation,” The text of the article reads: “The history of Russian animation is the visual art form produced by Russian animation makers. As most of Russia's production of animation for cinema and television were created during Soviet times, it may also be referred to some extent as the history of Soviet animation. It remains a nearly unexplored field in film theory and history outside Russia.”]/end id.
