Mediocre Story Art

The pictured character is named Scarlet, and she is from a story called Red Unknown. She's a 10 year old girl who lives in a remote cabin with her alcoholic parents. Scarlet has grown tired of living with her neglectful, verbally abusive parents, and is looking for an escape.

I started this story for a Prose challenge a few months ago. So far, I only have one chapter of this done, but I'm considering continuing it. My direction for this story is dark and almost fairy tale like. I wanted the character design to reflect that, so I kept it mostly humanoid with a few strange characteristics. Some of the ones I tried out were a large head, an unnaturally long neck, etc. Honestly, I think one of the designs ended up looking more like an Animal Crossing character, haha.

And here's a link to the Twitter post containing my art for it: https://twitter.com/Bamboopanda27/status/1083074504744673281?s=19
