After continuing to send writing and illustrations between one another, our focus shifted towards the end of the project, and we began planning how we would present our work within the exibhition space. Ideally we had hoped to create an animation,but given the time scale of the project we had to reject this idea. Instead we decided to split the story into parts, taking key scenes and creating a still animation with several illustration frames. This sketch shows how we aim to present the work within the exhibition space.

Following this we arranged to meet in person to discuss the 'event' during which we could introduce two characters. Part of this discussion involved my partner expressing her strengths as drawing object imagery rather than characters, and so we decided to focus on one character that would be illustrated, and then the seperate narrative character that would not be depicted through her art. From this I was able to write the first part of the project, the meeting of the characters.

Our project began with the creation of three characters: the first two she illustrated independently, whilst the third was done so in response to a character profile that I sent to her.

From the offset my illustrator partner made it apparent that she was interested in plant life, and botanical art, showing me this example of her previous project.
