Early Concepts: the first sketches


The first rudimentary concepts from Savuti started on a trip to Washington. Rainy february's afford a lot of time to doodle ideas. 

Savuti was, on the outset, inspired by some wildlife documentaries, chiefly 'Eternal Enemies' in which some interesting animal behaviors were shown and the inspiring story of a lioness whom survived the venemous and usually lethal bite of an Egyptian Cobra. The ideas interweaved with personal stories and very quickly a unified idea took root.

This blog will chronicle my own adventure as the story is refined and realized. I hope you all may join me in this adventure of growth and discovery.. I am a traveler along for the ride as well.

I welcome your comments, inputs and inspirations you in turn may share with me that may make this story more vibrant. Thank you all!

Oh before I started using references ;}. A valuable lesson
