Willow - Portfolio Sheet - Tír na nÓg

I created this artwork for my Tír na nÓg project.
Willow is the protagonist in the story. She is a 13 year old Irish girl that, one night, finds out through the necklace her long gone father gave her, that her childhood imaginary best friend, Cara, wasn’t so imaginary after all. After a very rushed reunion, Cara somehow convinces her to follow her to the town’s forest, which turns out to be magical. After an unexpected turn of events, some pixies help her disguise herself to fit in better into the forest’s society.
This picture contains the whole creative process that brought me to my final designs. The first one is Human Willow, while the second one is Willow in a Fae Disguise, which is the version that will be seen for most of the story.
