Just Break the Rule and You See the Truth

Two ideas for things that could be cool.




The first is giving the brother an insane super soaker filled with boogers or something. When I was that age I definitely would have enjoyed having that during any sibling fights. Even now I'd still enjoy it. Both kids having weapons from things that kids might normally have opens up how ridiculous the fight might get (booger-soaker isn't ridiculous enough yet, but it's a good stepping stone).

The second is the sister using a torchiere-esque floor lamp as a spear, which would possibly be a really cool scene. The coolness for me comes from the lamp being the only source of light in the scene, and that light source moving in addition to the characters. It definitely wouldn't be long, maybe like ten seconds at most, because making this work in motion will be a battle. The characters would also need to be in an environment where that lamp is the only light source. I see the main fight taking place in a living room with windows, so it needs to be dark outside, but I don't want it to be nighttime. I think a thunderstorm outside would work though, and that adds another element with which cool things could happen.

First one is a combination of acrylic paint, Neocolor II crayons, watercolor pencils and pens. The second one is all acrylic paint.
