Initially this character was called 'Bonnie Birch', one of the Birch family who own the Birch Bakery in Whistle-stop Thistle but only once I'd uploaded this character design page did I realise that the word 'Birch' looks like it says 'Bitch'.
Amongst my ideas for the name change was 'Bonnie Beech' (another tree), but this didn't sound right either.
I eventually settled on Bramble, which isn't going to get confused with any swear words. 'Bonnie' wasn't suiting the character anymore, it sounded like a country singer: 'Bonnie Barley / Bonnie Bramble', so I tried a few different names before going with Brenna.
The dry-brush eraser effect works really well behind the text to bring it out - I wonder how this would work on some of my 3D illustration scenes to add text to busy coloured photos?
