#proteanpunishment

protean-punishment is a personal story i hold dear to my heart that i created spontaneously during last summer’s digital art camp. it follows the tale of immortal abstract creatures who take the forms of teenagers while trying to hide from a secret society trying to track them down. these are the proteans (after greek mythology’s Proteus). the story has a magical village-y vibe inspired by The Map to Everywhere book series by Carrie Ryan ^_^. it’s like spirit animals but literal and shapely! bandit here is a fox-raccoon critter: an idea stemming from an even earlier vision. his human form is named Diablo, the trash rat, thief, and disliked local of the bunch. definitely the most highly-suspected of the village community to be a protean. what a stray dog of a person. but he survives, solitary. and manages to find some friends that solve his lifestyle shame.
