Creator’s Notes

I am super excited to introduce this tiny being to everyone! When I first started on this fantasy world venture, this character was one of the first things that I drew.

When drawing the Myra, I took inspiration from the Teru Teru Bozu (Japanese Weather Doll) and the game, Monument Valley. I knew I wanted a tiny companion which is cute and small. So, I began drawing a few sketches of what it could possibly look like.

As you can probably tell, I wanted to include star element into the design because the Myra, at this point at least, is a being from elsewhere. Another dimension? realm? I’m not too sure for now. But I kind of wanted them to probably have magic that relates to the stars, and so I try to incorporate that into the appearance.

I had also contemplated about adding animal ear characteristics to the Myra because I was thinking perhaps its like a spirit guide. And it turns out super cute! I think I will introduce that variation in the future!

Another problem that cam to my mind was figuring out whether if the Myra had any limbs underneath the cape and if it did how do I show it. The majority of my friends have voted that it can just magically appear since the Myra is a creature from another dimension and has carried a lot of unknown power.

So there you go! I hope that you guys find the Myra cute as I do. I can’t wait to show you the other design of it that I had.
