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
Milo a clever fox
a slender red fox with bright amber eyes, wearing a small green scarf and a curious expression
Sounds quick and lively.
Tara a wise owl
a large brown owl with speckled feathers and golden eyes, perched with wings folded neatly
Sounds calm and measured.
Bram a kind badger
a stout badger with black and white striped face, wearing a simple blue cap and sturdy boots
Sounds deep and gentle.
Lily a playful squirrel
a small grey squirrel with bushy tail, bright eyes, and a tiny red vest with acorns stitched on
Sounds high-pitched and bright.
The setting
A lush forest where four animal friends solve problems together.
A dense, vibrant forest with towering ancient trees in rich greens and earthy browns, sunlight dappling through the canopy onto mossy stones and a sparkling stream nearby. The undergrowth is thick with ferns and colourful wildflowers, creating a lush, immersive environment alive with birdsong and the rustle of small creatures.
