I got a start on the concepts for the Independent challenge today! I usually start with a mind map but I already had a few ideas rattling around and then when I started I kept going. Sorry some of them are messy or unintelligible- I worked a little more on the ones I liked better.

Anyone have a reaction to any of these?

1 & 2 are a kid leading very large dogs on her own. 3 & 4 are a wild kid leading a pack of dogs or bears... animals. 5 Was very basic idea but I wanted to play with composition and lighting. 6-9 Are a viking kid or kids off on their own adventure in a boat!

10-12 are more viking kids. 11 Is a boy reading while people play sports in the background- felt too sulky but maybe it could be played on. 14 is a kid chasing fireflies by herself while a parent figure in the background guides another child. 15 & 16 are wrestling because I was watching GLOW but they gave me an idea for later so I kept them in. 17 & 18 are more viking kid- I was thinking maybe leading an army?

19 is someone diving off a cliff into who knows what, while others cheer. 20-21 is a girl setting free a bird( or fairy? or firefly? or tiny dragon?) while parents argue in the background, ostensibly about what to do with the bird (maybe it's a golden bird?). 22 is a mess, was trying for someone arguing with an angry mob but it doesn't even fit the theme. 23 adult scientists arguing in the background while a toddler approaches/interacts with some kind of alien monster. 24 a girl with wings for arms finally flies for the first time whil her anxious parents look on. 25 a kid living on his/her own in a space boat that runs on fireflies (feels lonely, want to play with magical flying fish?). 26-27 A girl builds sandcastles while people play in the water behind her.
