Comic Project// Lovely Faces - Character Development

First concept

Starting around December time I've been drafting up character ideas for a comic I've wanted to develop for awhile now... 

Not going into too much detail, this character is a young girl who lives on the streets in a futuristic setting. 

She doesn't have a name but a few of my friends and I have nicknamed her 'Roller Skates Girl'.

Originally I sketched her out at a child about 14-15 years old, but I hadn't really settled on the age of this character so I began drawing her in different ages, all roughly fitting to a 'young woman'. 

A friend of mine who I'd sort of loosely explained what I wanted the story of the comic to be, said he thought 'Roller Skates Girl' would be a more interesting character if she was younger, which was something I wasn't sure about doing... But settled quite quickly on the idea of her being just a kid.

 SO I started drawing up concept pieces on this character interacting with another main character, He's in his early 20s but I'm still tossing the idea around in my head for this 'Roller Skates Girl' to develop and grow along side this other main character; Developing from a child into a young woman as the story unfolds... Even thought I'll admit I DON'T HAVE A STORY YET.

But I really want to base this comic on the life of 'the homeless'. A few of my friends in real life have lived homeless for a couple of nights or even a few weeks, seeing them like that and seeing people living homeless in Leeds I'd like to focus on that side of society that is often over looked by most...       I also thought it would be interesting to set the story in a sort of si-fi futuristic city, like in Astro boy or even films like Guardians Of The Galaxy, but, less alien-y.

I'm not really putting this project ahead of uni work, but really just keeping the idea 'fresh' in my head from working on it from time to time.
