Embedded Files
My story concept comes from a book I wrote when I was in late elementary and middle school. I thought the story had potential, but I still had to take the first few months of the year reworking it.
One of the hardest characters to design was Petal. She had design back in the original story, as well as a redesign from later on.
Despite this, I had to work on her design quite a bit because it had to be simplified for a graphic novel.
One of the biggest issues I faced was her color scheme. I originally wanted a red cloak, but it looked too much like Little Red Riding Hood so I made it more orange.
One concept that I liked but ultimately scrapped was an animal companion for Petal. In the original book, she had a horse named Thunder, and so I wanted to create something inspired by that character. He was a combination of a big horn sheep and a baby highland cattle. Petal was going to ride it throughout the story, but for time's sake I decided to scrap the idea. I may include it somewhere later though.
