When making characters I tend to grab a lot of ideas from a lot of past influences.
Lady Malmsteen's innocent and alluring sexuality was partially inspired by a talented Disney artist named Fred Moore.
Fred Moore was responsible for some of the button eyed beauties from past films; most notably the centaurettes from Fantasia, the teens from Make Mine Music, and giving influence to the red headed Ariel.
His drawings of ladies were indeed sexy; but it was their faces that really gave them the appeal. This statuette in the photo is what's known as 'The Fred Moore' girl. I chose brunette obviously because of Lady Malmsteen's hair color too. The statuette comes in blonde and red too.
Fred Moore's approach to defining the sexuality of his female subjects was too show a delicate curved body mixed in with the innocent beguiling nature of the character's face. From a distance his girls appeared to have button eyes. Up close the pupils were more rounded and defined; along with their pckered lips, blushing cheeks and exaggerated and attractive hairstyles.
All the more reason to take his designs as one of the influences for Lady Malmsteen's sexual, yet child like innocence. Her cuves and bening eyes I took from Fred Moore. As well as the puckered lips and how her hair compliments her figure.
A comparison between the two. Obviously the Fred Moore girl is much prettier. But I just thought I'd show you where I do tend to draw influences from. It springs from a multitude of things. And in terms of influential female features; Fred Moore tops high on the list.
