Disney land world.
I got moved into a group where their world idea was a run down Disney like world where Mickey mouse is a dictator and other Disney characters rule the world. We’re going with an overly dark atmosphere and having the characters be more evil in how they rule things while also having a group of protestors fighting against the system.
Landscape references (epic mickey)
I really like these references as the game is about a darker Disney world so it is a great reference. I used these as inspirations for composition and imagery of what the world looks like.
Quick thumbnail idea sketches
My ideas for some of these thumbnails is that normal people have to wear Mickey mouse masks which mind control them and protestors are people who were able to get rid of their masks. The police also wear the masks and there’s also massive Mickey mouse robots that watch over everything and kill people who don’t wear their masks. The Disney castle is the lair which Mickey stays within and could be watched over by a giant floating Mickey mouse head.
I also had the idea that Elsa is the head of the police and takes part within police brutality by freezing people. The drawing I did is her fixing a mask on a child while the police move her victims in the background.
Final
I really like the look of this massive creepy Mickey mouse robot as it shows how overly helpless the people are within this world and how it looks impossible for them to be able to even defeat it.
Character references
Character and object sketches
I came up with the idea that protestors can wear Oswald masks, as Oswald is canonically a forgotten and disregarded Disney character and Mickey mouse’s brother, so I found it fitting for the protestors. I also thought that the police using Disney styled tools would also be fitting, such as smoke bombs looking like the poison apple from Snow White and their water canons looking like Dumbo.
