The Story

She loves her life, but many things are changing…which she is not very happy about.

Most changes she sees as bad, but some are good- magical perhaps?

In these pages, readers will be sure to find plenty of the ordinary and lots of action, adventure and romance!

Meet the Characters

Here are the characters of the story.

Title Animation

I created a title animation for my project. I was inspired by old cartoons!

Sample Artwork

These pieces are closest to what the final product will look like when I get working on it! The simple color palette was inspired by Winsor McCay’s colors in his comic, Little Nemo.

Animated Gifs

I animated a series of looping gifs to display the personalities of a few of my characters.

Three out of the five animations were then risograph printed into flip books to display at the ECA Graduate Show.

Sketches

Here are some sketches I did while developing my characters and thinking of plot points.

ECA Graduate Show Display

I designed this display for the ECA August Graduate Show.
