WIP Photo of work

(Above is some work in progress of Zahra's expression sheets which will be turned into PNG files for the visual novel project).

Technically the story line is about a bunch of dogs that either fight against the mythology (mut) of Ancient Egypt to keep their gods (humans) safe or live their lives alongside the gods (humans).  The story has already been determined to be about natural dog behavior, various dog-human interactions and the consequences, and on Ancient Egyptian mythology.

However, as I am doing more and more work for this project, I am absolutely astonished this genre of work has not been fully embraced by other storytellers.  It is a great way of combining art and the written word without the constant re-drawing of graphic novels.

Questions: Who/what does Zahra represent?  How many protagonists will there be?  What are their views on life and how will that affect the storyline?  Is the image of 'hero' and 'villain' clear?  If they are, should they be and if they are not, should they be clear?  Will this story be a reality check?
