After receiving some more feedback from my group on the designs for Shen Nung and his Assistant, I decided to try drawing up some coloured reference sheets for them! Below you can see the results:

We decided on more saturated colour schemes for these two, because we thought it would work well against the traditional style backgrounds we'll be using. They'd fit within thew environment, but still stand out against the backdrop.

I'm fairly happy with how these turned out!
