I just wanted to say that all your reindeer are absolutely stunning (and after you explained your thinking I feel silly for misidentifying Dancer and Vixen), but I'm especially going to be obsessed for days with Rudolph and his mobility runners. I absolutely love seeing disability representation and that is such a brilliant, thoughtful design and I just wanted to say thank you for it.
I did a breakdown of how his sleigh is built!
The reason this project took me 3 years is because of all the rudolph iterations I did. None of them grabbed me or felt inspired until a couple weeks ago I was brainstorming in the shower about red noses -> skin conditions -> disabilities and I got the idea for giving him a mobility aid in addition to albinism.
I feel like a physical disability has a chance to resonate with people moreso than red noses. It's just another way to explore being excluded by peers and finding happiness by getting better friends. I started out thinking of giving him some sort of rosacea, psoriasis/eczema, port wine birthmark, etc. I could do a story about kids making fun of and excluding him based solely on his appearance, because that's reality for so many people.
In the end I decided as an artist I would have more fun designing a mobility aid and seeing how I can adapt the world to his needs, while highlighting who he is as a person (loves geography and stargazing, finds a new family in his sled team)
He's still just as disabled after joining santa's team, and it doesn't make him special and exploitable. It's just one of the many aspects that make up his life.
I plan to do a bunch more research and bring in more disabled people as consultants before I get too far in the story.
If you are physically disabled and would like to help me with my story, please let me know
Or if you have people/resources/research to recommend.
This includes any level and type, whether you use aids or not. Including "invisible" disabilities like EDS, CFS, etc. Also appearance-affecting conditions like albinism, acne, if it affects your life, its important.
