Uncle Antlers: origins & early sketches

Sometime shortly after graduating in 2010, this mental image popped in my head. I sketched it out. 

Two characters, walking in the rain; one being a child and the other an odd deer-head creature holding an umbrella.

 

From there came exploratory drawings; 

who the characters were, and what their relation to each other was.

How did they meet?

 

How did they interact? 

What were their personalities like?
