Legend of a Chivalrous Cottontail!

Oct 28, 2009 23:26

So I probably mentioned earlier that I was working on a series of stories. One of them is a story that illustrates the life of a little, deluded rabbit girl who plays a game of "Knights and Horses" throughout the story. What should just be a game limited to her backyard and imagination expands into a journey to save the world while meeting all sorts of colorful, interesting people!

Cecile Cottontail, the main heroine!
I want to make her look younger than this. More like a little girl.
She doesn't have any skills as a knight, of course. She only THINKS she does... Which is... Apparently, enough for her to get by!

The Cottontail Family!
Mr. and Mrs. Cottontail (who will probably just be referred to as Ma and Pa) probably have kids every five times a year. Seriously, this family is huuuuge. Cecile has a buttload of brothers and sisters. Some of her siblings wish Cecile would grow up while the others really like her.

All Cecile does is really play knight throughout the story. In town, she's known as "Little Miss Arthur" as she always has a makeshift armor on and basically tries to do what other knights would.

So there's a bit of a backstory here. The setting is varied, but for the most part, it takes place in a medieval-ish setting... With steam technology. Not too sure, but steam technology is a definite. There's a legend that goes around about an epic battle between the entire world and the "Sorcerer of the Black Fog", Nevermoore.

Nevermoore is a wizard who commands the Black Fog. It's a pitch-black fog that once covered up the entire world. It drives whoever is inside it into madness and servitude to Nevermoore. He once nearly conquered the entire world by spreading it until the heroes of the land was able to find the "thing" that would drive the fog away. The "Eternal Flame" (name pending...) helped drive the fog away, allowing the heroes to challenge Nevermoore on equal terms. He was beaten and the flame was housed in six different beacons that would drive the fog away whenever it showed up.

The fog has been showing up and for some reason, all the beacons are turned off. The knights of the castle near Cecile's town is passing through, which is how she gets caught up in this whole journey to begin with. That's the basic gist of the story =D Nevermoore IS dead. The legends don't say he was sealed or anything, so there's someone else behind this fog. In the center of the largest fog gathering, there's a castle that moves as the fog does... The answers to all the mysteries behind the Black Fog's legend is inside. But the Beacons have to be turned on first!

These are some more character designs! :

I'll go into detail about them later, but for now... There's the basic story. ... STill pretty long! For whoever was patient enough to read through all of this, thank you!

By the way, none of this is my art.
The artist is my friend and partner, Comical_Ninja. He's an aspiring voice actor and a very talented character artist. Look for him on YouTube!
