      I love the character design of the squid!! Especially how the head part looks like the pen nib.

      In terms of the comp it's number 3 for me, I think it works really well and i'm looking forward to seeing the development whichever you go for

          @miranda-hoover I really love 3, and 5. 3 being my favorite because there is a curiosity and apprehensiveness.

                Amazing! Such an out of the box idea. Love it! I am really drawn to #5 but I think #3 shows more of the octopus and I think that works beter compositionally as well.

                  Super love your concept! For me I like 2 the best, it seems to be the moment before the action and allows for my own imagination to fill the gaps.

                      Thought this would be a good stage to show my progress. It's still a sketch (I had a bit of a battle with the plants), and I haven't sorted out my values just yet. I took @JoshuaDages awesome idea and added in some more cameras, and if I have the time, I'll try to make each camera look different. I also changed the position of the fairy and the text (from thumbnail #3 ☝) and I was curious if this works better. Also, any thoughts on the font choice?

                            @miranda-hoover I think the new positioning of the text/fairy is much better. I really love this one, sweet concept and really nice design!
