Character Design — Pet Turtle
Finding the right scale for the turtle was a challenge at first, but through multiple prompt refinements, I was able to achieve a proportion large enough for Grandma to sit on comfortably.
Character Design — Pet WoodPecker

Scene Design
This scene went through numerous attempts as I refined character matching, scale relationships, and overall layout. After resolving these issues step by step, I arrived at a version where the composition, style, and storytelling finally came together.
