This is just a quick booklet I put together to see how the images will work alongside the text and give me an idea of how many images I need to produce to balance with the text.
I used my initial idea of representing Ned's state though the Juniper plant, and also some of my experimentation using scanning and layering of paint and images to reflect certain points in the story.
Overall I am fairly happy with the way this looks, but it is definitely lacking something as the images seem a bit boring when paired with the large blocks of text; the pacing of the images is also fairly slow and regular. Because the images are all slight variations on one consistent drawing I think this also makes it seem slightly uninteresting. When I tried using various techniques to draw the Juniper branch it was slightly more visually interesting, but didn't relate as well to the text.
