Hello Everyone! It's been awhile since the last post, so it's time for an update on the project!
I've decided to pursue the first idea I listed in blog post 1.
I've changed a few of the details from the original story, but it will still have a similar structure. The story will focus on the relationship between an overly enthusiastic young woman who just moved to the country and a standoffish stray cat that lives nearby.
Above are a few of my concept sketches of the two characters. I was messing around with a few slightly different designs for the cat, but I ended up changing the cat's color scheme to dark gray to make it fit better with its environment. Although I mentioned in my first post that I wanted multiple strange fictional creatures rather than normal animals, I realized that it was more important to focus on the two main characters relationship, and that should be what is carrying the story.
