At long last, the final outline for the Pearl Diver is finished. It's been almost a year since I started the project, and the draft went through 3 revisions. Judging from the way my creative process works, the next step now is just to illustrate the graphic novel from the outline and skip the process of writing it in prose. The outline has enough dialogue and minor details for the book.
The characters grew in number as I went through the revisions. Some characters were removed, while others shifted from being the villain to a more heroic character. Others were radically changed both in character and physical features.
My thought process has also changed in terms of sketching the diver. This time she can interact with a diverse selection of characters, so she is now more than just a pin-up.
