Hoi! Here is me trying to figure out how to draw Orel and Christiana. I leaned for a wider face for Christiana while I tried more box like proportions for orel. I'm not sure how much I like it, but it's ok.
Next is a more Gothic outfit for Christiana, or at least an eary stage one. I've heard of the idea of Christiana's Nature episodes being called Nuture. I've not put much thought into it, but it could be a mother daughter trip where Poppit shows her some base things for being a "perfect housewife."
The entire time, Christina is more interested in reading or perhaps doing some schoolwork. Poppit dislikes how Christiana is disinterested in what she is being shown. Yada Yada. At one point, Christiana asks what if she doesn't want to be a housewife, but build a career. Cue rant from Poppit about how men need women to take care of them(parallel to Clays rant)(kinda).
Not sure what happens from here or how I got so off topic. Back to the drawing.
After the events of that trip, she tries to distance herself from what her mom wants her to be. Her outfit, while not colored, is a black dress Christiana had from some event, with a cheap tee shirt over it, a black belt from her father's room, several necklaces she had gathered, and some winter boots she had lying around. Her style will evolve as she grows. But I wanted to make a first outfit.
And the last image of the day is, of course, of Orel. Like Christiana, he uses the Goth culture as a way to assert control of his life. After season 3, his faith in his parents, the people of Morelton, and God shatters. He loses hope for a while. One day, Stephenie shows introduces him to some of her Goth friends, and he is absolutely interested in learning more. Stephenie and her friend introduce him to the music, the fashion, and the community. Where God was once an escape, now he has Stephenie and her friends to escape.
I still think Orel would believe in God, even if his faith waivers. Perhaps Orel could meet Christians outside of Morelton and see their is a huge multitude of ways to have religion in one's life. However, his Goth phase could help him gain a new community of people to be a part of.
