Here are some insights on the developement. The Herring itself and the Lady Herring he meets at the bar are using green, blue and turquoise colors. I wanted to keep up his connection to the ocean as his origin. Same thing with the patterns, where I used different shapes to referr to fish scales. My progress went from first developing the characters and afterwards designing the different sceneries referring to the main characters style. It´s not how it usuallly is done, but in this case it worked out pretty well.
At the very beginning stands this concept I made for myself to clarify the storyline, so every event and showed scenario has its entitlement in the final project. This kind of planning and also storyboarding bacame an essentail part of my working process over the years, so it might be interesting to see.
