Pied Piper Character Influence Maps...

The main inspiration for the character design of the Pied Piper for my adaptation will come from folk art and child-friendly drawings of the character. However, my adaptation focuses on the dark tone of the orinigal story, which means i will combine these elements with the surrounding topic of Death and puppet/marionette elements which will fit in with the theatrical style sets. A lot of the existing drawings of the Pied Piper use a red and yellow colour palette for the clothing, whereas, the darker designs seem to use grey, black and green, whilst still keeping to the associated clothing of the character.
