Part of the story is going to revolve around a group of plant characters who are scavengers. They prey on other plants and use their body parts as armor and weapons.
Most of the architecture is made out of metal, plastic and glass but is organically shaped. Some of it is shaped like trees. They don't use a lot of paper or wood since some of their friens are trees.

Myriel
The reference for Myriel is Father Myriel from Les Miserables. Father Myriel was the Priest who Val Jean robbed from and helped Val Jean start his road to change. I choose this name reference since this character is the one to take John in and took care of him after his daughter Hazel found him. Im looking for less familiar names for my alien characters. I gave him the design on his scientist outfit as a reference to a Priests robe.

Story Ideas
I decided that I wanted the Scientist Fathers head to look a little different from Hazel's

First Sketches
I started out just drawing random creatures of what the different Plant Aliens might look like. The first page on this post is probably the first time that I really felt that I was on to something with the Hazel design. I started out thinking that the air on the planet was non exisitant and John would have to have some sort of breathing device, but then I realized duh everything on the plant is plants. Plants make oxygen. So I got rid of the a breathing device. Im still trying to decide wiether or not to give John some sort of cover to make his human appearance less noticable. I drew my own son Nathan for a reference. I really like the bottom image on the 4th page and the top right image on the last page. I'll probably use them for something else later on. At the very least a background character.
