The Butterfly Girl

I'm going to start with the characters in order of their appearance in the original pages. That means Butterfly Girl comes first.

Butterfly Girl is a background character at best. She doesn't play a key role in the story's events and nor does she really actively engage with the other characters. Nevertheless I find her essential and I couldn't imagine not having her in the tale. The reason she is important is firstly how her presence sets the right tone for the Dark Woods and secondly how she is a key indicator to the true nature of the Dark Woods and what the story is really about. Her conception was very much based on two people I used to know one more in the way of appearance and the other in terms of history.

Here's the old designs that I'm going to be working with. The first is from around 2006 and the other 2010-11.

...Yes it's terrible but in my defence I was just starting to figure out digital art
