A wealthy oblivious drawing artist raised by animals unfreezes a painted river to stop his artistic ego from not seeing his forest-dwelling family before he moves away from home.
I do not understand the story world. If the kid wants to leave home, where would he go? Is the larger world full of human-like animals or is he crossing over to our world? Does he literally paint over the river or does he create a painting of the river? Is he rich and successful before the story begRead more

Is he rich and successful before the story begins?
Is the inciting incident the painting, or the discovery of the effects of the painting?
I would focus on the sites suggested log line format for now. [Flawed Protag] [Event] [Action]

Hi Libari,
I have to admit there’s a lot to digest there at first read.
Lets have a look…
INTENTION – conceal a wish-granting treasure.
OBSTACLE – the King who hired him to find it will use it to become an all-powerful tyrant.
A sellsword sets out to destroy a wish-granting treasure when he finds out his land’s king will use it to become an all-powerful tryant.
– “conceal” felt soft to me. Less of a challenge. Treasure sounds dangerous and “ring-like” if he sets out to destroy it.
– wasn’t sure how necessary “mysterious traveler” is to the logline.
– for less words I got rid of “cynical” as well – though it does suggest the character’s potential arc. Keep it for now I imagine.
Anyways – good luck with this!
