The internet has been fixed and at the same time my mobile phone plan rolled over and I have data again (because of course these things would happen at the same time XD)

I have been busy crying at sketchup and have cobbled together the street where most of the comic will take place.

I will add more detail to other buildings as needed,  but I think for the meantime this will do, and I now have a vague idea of how sketchup actually works, hooray :)

These buildings were grabbed from the 3D warehouse (which used up the last of my mobile data) and then modified. I think they were mostly originally from google earth, either from London or Budapest.

Now that I have internet again I can furnish some interiors, and hopefully have slightly more consistent backgrounds than what happened at times in Always Human *cough*Sunati'sapartment*cough*

I've also spent a lot of time agonizing over Wisteria's hair (my main character from new comic). If I give her shoulder length hair she can tie it up, and have alternate hairstyles, and it can blow about dramatically in the wind or when magic is happening. If I give her shorter hair these things will have much less effect, but short hair also feels right. Buuuuut I'm very unwilling to give up on the flexibility of longer hair and I think that a high ponytail for her feels right too (though I'm not sure if it feels as right as short hair.)

I've also spent a loooot of time scripting. So much time scripting.

And I think that's been my last few days.

I shall continue uploading stuff :)

Really love that pic with her and the raven. The street looks great - could be really the old town of an European city. :). I'm bias to character design of girls with short/shoulder length hair ;)

Thank you so much! Old European towns feel very witchy to me (mainly, I think, because of Ghibli movies and Harry Potter) so unlike Always Human, where my attitude to buildings was 'how can I make this as simple as possible' I'm going to persevere and attempt something that has more of a sense of place. I'm glad you like the atmosphere :)

Nice and thanks, as usual!

When I go for trips it's always culture trips instead of relaxing beach vacations, Also a reason why my Amerika trip wasn't that cool because I was missing those old town parts in the bigger cities. Every downtown there is filled by skyscrapers but I miss the feeling of history there :/ With such background it's easier to get a feeling for it while reading it

As an Australian - gosh yes history is spectacular (there's very little built history in Australia, so even the US feels old to me!) All types of holidays are awesome holidays, but old towns in big European cities are probably my favourite places to visit.
