Moana Visual Development, Part 2
“The Brothers”.
At one point in the story development, Moana had 9 older brothers, who sailed off leaving Moana behind, and who Moana eventually had to rescue!
Designing them, I thought it would be a fun idea to give them each a distinct personality, and to have their personalities reflected in the way they wear their lavalavas (The garments around their waist).
Bro No.1 = The leader, most like his father.
Bro No.2 = The warrior.
Bro No.3 = The artist and dreamer, and who Moana feels closest to.
Bro No.4 = The easygoing lovable big guy.
Bro No.5 & 6 = Twins who were amazing at rowing in synchronicity.
Bro No.7 = The lady’s man who was a great dancer.
Bro No.8 = The annoying loud one.
Bro No.9 = The aloof weird one.
And Moana’s the 10th child of the chieftain, and the first daughter.
