The Emperor's New Groove - Character Development Painting

Great movie and one of my sister's favorites.  So funny!  This is a stunning piece of art.  Actually looks like a fine art painting more than anything.  Thanks for the informative description.  Hard to imagine this as a darker film.  Not sure it would have worked as well.

The big change to comedy certainly ended up being the right call as it's an excellent film. I don't think it would be near the cult classic movie for millenials without it being that David Spade hilarity

A villain like pose using snake like curves and a cobra like crown at the top.  It also as a grungy industrial look with the crown having gear like edge, the clothing pattern of circuitry, and the pipe like elements in the setting.

Terrific!  Hadn't seen this before.  Watkiss was an amazing designer.  Love the flow of the arms and sway of the figure, along with the great lighting, color, patterns, and other elements
