1960s Female Hairstyles

I have already done hairstyles for my heroine character and got some good and helpful feedback about them but as I had added an era influence to my project's whole world I need to go back and change the hair up a bit to make it suit this. Nothing wrong with this though, it's all good practice! :)

I have looked at a range of 1960s female hairstyles as I'm not sure as of yet which will end up working best for my character so better to start off with more ideas than less. For some of my influence I specifically looked at the Mod styling of the 60s as there is something very space-age about some of them that could be very appropriate for my character.

 

 



Character Biography: The Super Intelligent, Wise Owl Robot Sidekick

When it came to thinking up a name for my sidekick I wanted to try and create a clever acronym so I did some research and found out that 'Aves' is a scientific name for 'bird'. I took this to abbreviate with qualities of my sidekick and owls and ended up with astute which means smart, visually enhanced (my sidekick has magnified camera lens eyes) sidekick.

Space-Age Inspired 1960s Fashion

While researching into possible names for my villain I stumbled across a blog called Glamoursplash where I found this great video which looks at elements of 1960s fashion which have been designed with the developing space-age in mind. I think the designs of some of these are stunning while others are quite crazy looking but they all show space influence brilliantly. :)

Character Design: 1960s Inspiration 'The Incredibles'

A talk with Phil yesterday helped me clarify a direction I could go in for my character design. Sticking to an era/time to base my characters in rather than having it open as it was with just the knowledge of what my audience age was should help me feel more confident towards my drawing.

Pixar's 'The Incredibles' took influence from the 1960s so I thought this was a good starting point to see exisitng modern design work based on a time in history.
