To give me a better idea of how to illustrate the characters in my animation, I looked at various images and photos of knights, kings, wanted posters etc. I want to keep an element of historical truth to what I am illustrating so each section of the animation fits together and flows seamlessly.

| Real and fabricated wanted posters |
To keep with the time era, the image of Humpty Dumpty would need to a black and white drawn / painted image. I also want to keep the faded / distressed look so a sense of it being set in the past is introduced at the very beginning.

| Clothing and armor a king would wear |

| What knights and towns folk would wear |
The clothing and armor of the knights, the king and also Humpty Dumpty has to be carefully selected so nothing sticks out from the others. I looked at towns folk and what they would wear around the time kings and knights were in place to reflect what I should dress Humpty Dumpty with.
The horses will be the most challenging aspect of my illustration as they are generally quite hard to draw and I don't particularly have much experience drawing them either. I wanted to have a reference that I can look at, or even trace, so I don't have to spend too much time getting it exactly how I want it. This way I can focus more on the animation quality.
