For character design class, we were to create a character based on an existing fairy tale and put a little twist to it. I choose to do Beauty and the Beast, and I made Candle, which is basically an alternate, gothic version of "Lumiere" from Disney - since as far as my research goes only Disney's version has created a humanoid chandelier. Going through the whole process of creating a character was quite interesting and fun. I'd say the hardest part is keeping consistency throughout conceptualizing the character, but I'm sure I'll get better with practice.
