Above is a concept for Ollies parents (with Ollie for size comparison) – a sub plot which I decided to remove from the final story. I decided to make them visually different to make it more interesting for the reader however, give them similarities to make it obvious they are his parents. For example, Ollie has his mum’s head dress and chest pattern, while he has his father’s eyes.
I ultimately decided to remove the sub plot as it would require too much time to work on – I would rather have a shorter story that was more finished than a longer one with more mistakes in. However, that did not mean I would remove them completely from the story – they can still be seen having an argument during Ollie’s good trip.
