Was digging through old art and found the first versions of Red and Cain from like,,, 2018
Wild how much this concept and story has evolved since then
Sketches of Red from 2017. He’s wearing a red hoodie and holding a red parasol. Text in the left: Little Red | Wolfgang Riley Hood Text on the right: [ Ideas for something with Red Riding Hood - Red is a guy named Wolfgang - wolf hunter maybe? - or just really good with dogs/canines - umbrella belonged to grandmother - maybe it wards off wolves? Werewolves would be interesting Make umbrella larger ] Sketches of Cain in 2017. A variety of expressions and also a wolf form. Text on the left: [ - werewolf - can hide animal features with magic - only full wolf on full moon - doesn’t know other werewolves but knows they exist - werewolves are being hunted ]
