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
Léo the wise fox
a slender fox with bright orange fur, white underbelly, bushy tail with a white tip, sharp eyes
Sounds smooth and calm.
Mila a curious squirrel
a small squirrel with fluffy gray fur, large round eyes, bushy tail curled over her back
Sounds quick and lively.
Benoît the strong bear
a large brown bear with thick fur, broad shoulders, strong paws, small round ears
Sounds deep and slow.
Fée a gentle owl
a medium-sized owl with soft white and brown feathers, large round yellow eyes, sharp beak, wings folded neatly
Sounds soft and thoughtful.
The setting
A vibrant, sunlit forest where four animal friends embark on adventures.
A dense, lush forest bathed in dappled sunlight filtering through tall green canopy. Towering ancient trees with thick trunks and sprawling roots surround patches of colourful wildflowers and moss-covered rocks. Light mist clings to the undergrowth in the cool morning, while birds flit through the branches. The scene feels vibrant yet calm, inviting exploration with the scent of earth and pine.
