Yzma

Another design challenge, redesign a famous movie or tv character. I chose Yzma from Disney's The Emperor's New Groove. In her original incarnation she looks far more like a flapper than an Incan witch/advisor. She had next to no common design elements with her fellow cast members and pretty much stuck out like a sore thumb despite being awesome.
Kept the colours and headdress (too iconic) and made her overall look fit in more with everyone else. Transitioned her gaudiness into more gold and accessories - it always seemed weird that someone so power hungry wouldn't be decked in gold. For the record, those spindly hands will haunt me for quite some time. The rest of the style wasn't too hard to emulate, but the hands!
