As the main character, I needed to figure out what my version of Coraline was going to look like before going any further with my moving and printed pictures. I don't want her be an exact copy of the screen adaptation, but I also want her to appeal to people who are fans of the movie. So for them to instantly recognise the character, I decided to adopt the recognisable, Coraline bob haircut and the turtleneck that people who have seen the movie associate her with.
As a character, the Other Mother's appearance was kept a mystery - never really been specific with details in the book, except that she looks like Coraline's real mother, but white as paper, taller and thinner with black button eyes. In my prints I want her to remain as mysterious as possible - maybe make her a shadowy figure? I think this will add to the dark atmosphere and keep the audiences wondering.
