Ok so to be completely transparent I have not read either season of the underlings yet
so I don’t have any scenes or the like in my head and I don’t know the exact vibe this book is going for
But my advice from what I have seen
From the first cover etc
Make the audience feel the smallness of the world!
That’s the cool part of what I’ve been exposed to
Put objects / set pieces around them so they can realize “I know how big that is and they are smaller than that”
Examples:
Human size buttons used as I don’t know… A shield?
Acorns as hats?
I would avoid using rocks as a background as rocks give very little sense of scale for the character. But leaves like in the first one? Flowers? Hey maybe even though in some bugs or other small creatures which are also large to them!
Anyway again I haven’t read them
This is just what came to my mind
Who knows it might not be what you want or feel like doing!
Okay, that was the first big perspective I didn't think of...rock not providing the size difference.
Great call!
There won't be human aspects, but maybe familiar animals that are in the story, which WE knwo are small...like a Robin...then show Ro and Ru much smaller...

Think tiny (in a big way) but tiny

Good good start!!!
I'd pictured them on the bird with the sea and the island beneath them... Fwiw
That would be a very good idea....then I have some common frames of reference for size (aka bird).
Trying to get some sketches done....iPad...Grrrrrrrrr
