PROJECT TITLE: LORCAN THE LITERATE

Ideation stage

While a good brief will focus our options, we still need a decent spread of ideas to get started. I like to concentrate on the core traits of the character and ignore any specifics until later on in the process. In this case I just keep in mind a few key words: gnome, fighter, old, likes poetry, sailor, mentor. These make up the thread connecting all other options.
