I searched the Disney movies and elves in both Chinese Legend and Western Story. I found animals have different characters. For example, snake-woman usually is evil and sexy, rabbit-woman is often kind-hearted. That reminds me a reading from seminar class. One section in "Light and Color in the Middle Ages" writes about symbolism of color -- every color itself means different property, such as white representing pure and red representing fire. Yellow is usually used to paint halo of the god. Same things happens on animals/plants. Many examples in Anthropomophism is based on symbolism of animals/plants. Artists and writes creates the character half with a specific animal/plant because the nature of that specific animal/plant. It sends to people indirect information. For instance, sloth gives people information of moving slow, so designers would not make the sloth moving so fast in animation.
(Peacock--Colorful, Passion)
Therefore, considering the character of different animals and the Silhouette of those animals, I designed following clothes. I chose basic dress pattern, because elves/fairies hardly wear pants. And I will use shower curtain as material, since this material can make the clothes looks like more alien style and it is easy to handle.
(Snake--Smooth, Sexy) (Swan--Noble, Graceful)
(Anteater--Ponderous, Quiet) (Ring-necked Pheasant)
