check-in: steady
Been struggling with moodboards for four settings. It's aggravating. I do hazily know what I want these places to look like, but finding reference material to back up how light and shadow and atmosphere would look is really a bear.
The downsides of illustration: you may have to be very explicit in your setting (the upsides of writing: words, words, words!). I don't think this is an even trade for not necessarily having to name everybody when illustrating (as opposed to writing) (i.e., I don't have to think up names for the Eszett peeps, woot!).
(The locations so far: Suiren, where Schuldig is from; the exterior of Rosenkreuz; Takatori City; and Eszett's... er, HQ.)
In related news, it's been a monster bummer of a week for unknown reasons, but all your kind words have been so appreciated. Eternal thanks.
