Concepts for a novel style and comic style. Novel style is more writing, more detail, while comic style would be less detail but more illustrations and more dialogue. (Ignore the placeholder text on the test comic.)

Which style would you prefer?

A sketch of Forrest and their parents before being separated by a genocide. At this point, Forrest was changed to have BPD as well as DID. His intersex condition was also renamed to Keracervus syndrome, to give it a more scientific name.

Prototype references of the redesigned main characters. These are not being used, but contain useful short descriptions that explain the characters briefly. At this point, the story has completely separated itself from the source material.
