Production notes
Every story starts as a cast and a setting. Those are drawn once, then used as reference for every picture in the story, so the characters stay themselves from beginning to end.
The cast
Brenin the wise owl
a large brown owl with round, golden eyes and speckled feathers, wearing a small green leaf like a cap
Sounds deep and thoughtful.
Elen a clever fox
a sleek, fiery orange fox with a white-tipped tail and bright amber eyes, a small blue ribbon tied around her neck
Sounds quick and lively.
Môrwen a gentle deer
a slender light-brown deer with white spots on her back, carrying a woven flower garland around her neck
Sounds soft and calm.
Gwawr a curious squirrel
a small grey squirrel with fluffy tail and bright black eyes, holding a tiny acorn
Sounds high-pitched and energetic.
The setting
A vibrant forest where four animals unite to solve challenges together.
A dense, lush forest with towering ancient trees and dappled sunlight filtering through the vibrant green canopy. The forest floor is carpeted with ferns and wildflowers, with narrow winding paths. Occasional clearings host shimmering pools reflecting the sky. Light is soft and warm, creating a serene yet adventurous atmosphere.
