I wanted to go with a teenage girl look, as depression is common in woman and aged 15-24 i felt it fitting, my first initial thought was this, a fringed, long haired girl with glasses.
My character will be a small sprite, I wanted to look at different ways I could design the sprite with what you would find in a forest, I chose to use flowers, nut and berries as my character is small and these items are always found lying around in woods/forests. But as my forest is magical, i want a twist to my designs.
