Sean met with illustrator Christine Jung and had a very specific character in mind. He wanted to be a miner on an adventure with a trio of bizarre, loveable companions:

Meanwhile, Sara's dream character was a badass protector of a vulnerable creature.

Selorm's character was a struggling musician who was trying to gain self-esteem.

And finally, there was Andrew, who wanted to be a former army captain who witnessed something corrupt and altered his whole life because of his resistance to it.

A week later, the illustrations were ready to show everybody.

Drum roll please...introducing Andrew as the Army Captain gone rogue:

Sara as the boss-ass guardian and hero:

Sean as the small town miner on a big adventure:

And Selorm, the talented musician finding her way in this confusing world:

Everyone was so thrilled and moved to see their characters come to life. Next step, making the actual movies!
