Hello again! I worked a lot more on the project so here's what I have!
I tried to work on some more ideas for the logo and change a couple of colors. I decided that the main colors would be green and pink because I think it creates more harmony and looks prettier. I also think that the designs this time are more fun, and only changed the one in the center slightly because I still like the idea.
The next thing I did was the main characters. I wanted to do them first because I already had an idea of how I wanted them to look, and it would help me visualize their stories a lot easier.
But these aren't the final designs, I changed my mind many times while drawing them and when I was done I had a lot of opinions about what I wanted to change, so I'll probably draw them again in a while.
- Genevieve (Ginny)
17 years old at the beginning of the story, and born on February 22nd. An extroverted and very energetic girl that loves pink and baseball, very kind to everybody around her, and has a great sense of survival that helps her with any emergency.
Her mom is disabled so they live with her grandma and her cat. Has a lot of friends and knows Daphne because they study in the same school, and live in the same neighborhood.
As a child, she had a bad temper because her classmates bothered her, and although over time she was able to learn to control herself, from time to time she can return to those habits if there is something that really makes her angry.
I wanted the characters to have colors that identify them, and also simple designs that represented each one.
Because she plays baseball and is also a big fan of the sport, I decided that she would wear the uniform of her favorite team, although I have not yet decided on the name of it. I like the idea of the design, but I would like to change the socks and maybe add a baseball cap.
He's also supposed to turn into a zombie, but I'll be working on that design over the next few weeks while I continue working on the main one.
- Hazel
16 years old at the time the story starts and born on November 30th. A reserved girl who attends a private high school and knows how to play the piano and the guitar, she likes to sing although she is a bit shy.
She lives with her father and has an extended family who rarely comes to visit. Her mom was a friend of Genevieve's one and that's how they met, but after her mother passed away from an illness they gradually lost contact.
She met Daphne by chance in a record store and they became friends due to their similar tastes in music, ending up being part of her band as a guitarist.
Her design was giving me a lot of problems lol. Unlike the other three girls, I didn't really have a good backstory for her, and because of that her design and story was the one that had and will probably have more changes.
Her main colors were going to be black and red, but because I wanted to stick to a Halloween color palette I decided it would be better if it was black and green.
The only item of clothing left from her original design was the plaid skirt and because of that I decided to have her wear a school uniform. But after thinking about it a lot I would like her normal clothes to be a little more gothic style, and even though I like her short hair I think if it were a little longer it would also look good on her.
- Daphne
17 years old at the time the story begins, born on August 3rd. Her family consists of her two parents, her older sister is Adeline, younger brother Tobias, and family dog Milo.
Strongly influenced by pop punk and rock, she has been writing songs since she was little, which she has shared with her friends, later creating a small band of which Hazel became a part of. She studies at the same school as Ginny so the two of them are also friends who support each other.
She has a very cool and mischievous attitude so it may seem like she doesn't take things very seriously, but she really values the people around her and especially her moments with family and friends.
She was going to be a supporting character at first, but it made more sense for her to be part of the group along with her sister.
Although I like her design, after thinking about it a little more I think I want her clothes to look a little more punk, and make her main color purple. I'm also thinking about shortening her hair and using butterflies on her clothes instead of stars.
- Adeline (Ada)
26 years old at the start of the story, born on September 19th. A firearm instructor who holds a great love for her family, the oldest of the girls and Daphne’s big sister. Being the eldest of all the girls, she has a sense of responsibility to take care of all of them.
She likes going out with her friends, especially camping in the Monteclaire National Parks or making road trips, so she has quite a bit of knowledge about nature.
Her boyfriend's name is Elliot and he was in the military. They met through mutual friends and now they are living together.
Her design came to my mind very easily and is probably my favorite so I really don't want to change it much.
I think if I added some accessories besides the belt her design would be much better, maybe some necklaces or earrings. I wasn't sure what kind of boots I should put on her, so maybe that would be the only thing I'll change.
I did change her background a little because making her a police officer wasn't very convincing to me, and I wanted her to have a good knowledge on firearms. But I don't know much about those jobs, so maybe I'll change my mind in the future.
The last thing I did was draw the city. At first I wasn't sure about doing it because I've never drawn anything like this, but I wanted to have more than just inspiration photos. So even though it took me a while, I had fun doing it.
I'm not really sure about the layout of the city so the buildings don't mean much, but I wanted to capture the fall weather and the sunset colors, and I added the characters there because I wanted to see them together.
Drawing the main characters really helped me understand the story a lot more, so I finally have some ideas for the supporting characters! I'll be working on them next and hopefully by next week I'll have a good backstory for them too. ദ്ദി •⩊• )
