Week 8 - Pages sketches and progress

Week 7 - Work in progress

In my story, the protagonist’s grandfather is loosely based on the historical character of former Mexican President Porfirio Díaz, some of this research will be devoted to his life. His figure in the story is presented in the form of vague memories, but the Mexico in which the story is situated, ten years after the end of the revolution and his exile to France, was also marked by the efforts of the current government to reconstruct the country and embrace Mexico’s cultural roots. Additionally to the effect of Díaz dictatorship in Mexico’s society, this paper will focus on the post-revolutionary Mexico and the cultural and artistic manifestations related to these years.

Week 5 - Characters

Here I started to think about the singular beings that would inhabit the different layers of dream that my character is exploring. Unlike the big castle in which the story begins, where the main character is largely alone, except for toys, the town and the woods have people she will have to grow to adapt to. The characters from the town still have a human form in general while the forest ones tend to be smaller and more animal and plant characteristics. Some corrupted characters are also included.
