While developing my characters for my Grimm's fairytale book i found that using photographs of people i knew took something away from the story maybe that's because i know them to be different from the characters that Ive created but either way i knew they needed to be changed. What then inspired me was a TV series called 'Grimm' about detectives of the supernatural but what interested me was that some of the characters could be half human and half creature, for example there was clans of half wolf type people called blue bloods which would later tie into the story of little red riding hood and the three little pigs.
Anyway from my recent trip to London zoo i had lots of images that i could combine with my normal characters which definitely add to the eeriness of the book I'm creating, and from a psychological point of view my characters will be easier to fit into the readers imagination as they aren't already a person who may be judged on the way they look as well as being more memorable.
Above is the example of a blue blood from 'Grimm'
Below is my interpretation
