The Cactus

He was named Niko in the beginning but I eventually just referred to him as "The Boy". Originally the story was that he was entrusted with a mouthpiece by his father the village Chief and it was a right of passage for him to summon the cactus gods. I cut it out because I had no clear and fast way to tell the audience that this was the situation. Niko still is the village chief's son and is granted the duty of village chief after the cactus gods finish their business. The Village Chief just isn't shown in the film. This would be said on the commentary if there were a DVD with special features.

The houses started out as cactus huts but I decided to go with adobe buildings in the end.

To be honest I never ended up doing that many preliminary drawings of the cacti. I drew the boy a lot more. I liked drawing him more. I felt that I got the designs of the cactus done and settled pretty early on.
