You know I really like the design work that you two put into this series. Actually how did that all work out, did either of you take the reigns?
In particular I like the way certian things suggest a much deeper world, for instance, the bg character in the first panel with the ornate hair braid. The style of dress and design suggests some sort of link to Wren, if not direct but maybe somewhere intertwined in the story. It’s adds a really nice richness to the story, something that would make for an awesome jumping off point for a kid to go hog wild with their imagination to fill in the blanks.

The way Sara and I work most of the time when collaborating is she’ll supply some designs, and I’ll supply some designs, and we’ll work together to see where they match and fix where they don’t. In the case of Abraham, that’s all Sara’s design. In the case of Becky, that was all mine (though Sara chose her color scheme).
But Ot and Wren were more of a meeting of the minds. I started Ot out with some more “steampunk” kinds of designs (rusty metal, rivets, pneumatic bits, etc). Sara helped steer me towards the more sleek, easier-to-draw version. Sara did the initial concept for Wren, which was a bit friendlier, though she always had the “bird mask” motif. I injected more of the “medicine man” aspect to her character, and through much arm-wrangling convinced Sara that we should never see Wren’s whole face. What do you think? Was that a good choice?
And I’m glad you’re noticing some bg elements–yes, we wrote a bible for this series, and many details thrown in are done so with intentionality. Wren comes from a tribe called the Carlylians, and the gal you see in panel one is from that tribe. Actually, so is the gal with the umbrella in the same shot. Whether or not we’ll ever get to go into great detail on stuff like this remains to be seen, but at least it is there for that “jumping off” on the reader’s part that you mentioned.
