Village Background Concept

In progress.

Final Color?

Too saturated?  I think so.

So there are these alternatives.  Also kind of differentiates the hair and the outfit a bit better.

I personally like this last one best.

What about this guy?

Color Renders

I decided to add a face this time for the fun of it to see how it would kind of look with this kind of "Lineless" style.  Please take note of the belt buckle in some of them as well.

Color Design for Lava Room

Just a color design, not necessarily a room design

A little concept

Another sketch for female hero. This one has short hair just in case we don't want to deal with the peculiar motion of a pony tail. 

Rough Story Outline

Here is a very general premise of the story:

An adult female wanders many distant lands in search of something rare. She crosses several valleys, kingdoms, and villages over a long period of time before finally arriving at her destination. Before her are several traps, obstacles, and monsters that attempt to prevent her from reaching this treasured item. She must successfully overcome these obstacles to prove herself worthy of the sacred relic. She is athletic and courageous. Each obstacle is more difficult than the next, testing her agility, her wits, and her strength. There are many fallen warriors that have failed where she continues to succeed. She ultimately acquires the rare item only to reveal that she is just a small child in her house with a wild imagination that has found the final missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle. (possible alternate ending: the piece doesn't fit)
