Character Designs: Westley & Buttercup


As Joe mentioned in yesterday's post, we were asked to create cartoon versions of The Princess Bride characters for the 20th anniversary DVD. Above are my designs of Westley and Buttercup. I went with a kind of big-headed caricature style, which I've always been a fan of. It can be difficult to get a likeness when trying to do a caricature of anyone, but after some trial and error I was happy with how they came out, especially Cary Elwes.
