Hey all! :)

Who said all sage-type wizards need to wear weathered robes and have long beards with hair coming out of their ears? I had a character idea I wanted explore about a Gandalf-type wizard who cares about detail and finesse- an idea I found quite charming. Black sued wizard’s hat hand-stitched in Italy.. Wool cape trimmed with velvet mohair.. And a Palisander Rosewood Staff with woven natural leather handle and silver plated shoe. Plus he’s a sass-atronic shade-machine. Might be developing more of him.:)

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.

Moana Visual Development, Part 1.
Here are some of the very first drawings I did for Moana (Minus the last one, which was done later in the vis-dev stage). I was fortunate enough to work on the film in its very early stage thanks to the graciousness of Ron & Jon. Working with them alongside Jennifer Lee and Fawn Veerasunthorn is one of my fondest memories at Disney.
I have lots of Moana artwork that I want to post here, and am still trying to figure out exactly how to group them. Stay tuned! (For more work, you can also check out my instagram: @minkyu_lee_animating)
Moana is out in theaters now!
