So I changed the title font - I'd initially wanted a more modern looking font to go with the late 19th century-esque feel of the setting, but I think the backgrounds/clothing should convey the setting well enough, so I'd prefer a font that feels more magical.

The background is also now white. I'd originally planned on making it parchment coloured, for a book-ish feel, but after talking with my editor, I feel like that limits the colour schemes I can use, and I think white makes the colours stand out more.

Here are some redrawn backgrounds from the prologue, because I've fleshed out the setting/worldbuilding a bit more and wanted a more Mediterranean feel.

I've mostly been scripting/thumbnailing. I won't be able to contact my editor much once the holiday period is in full swing, so I want to be way ahead on thumbnails so I have lots of drawing to do in December :)

Here are some thumbnails that amuse me.

And here is a sketch of Wisteria's outfit for the first few episodes

She now has slightly longer, fluffier hair, because it will look more dramatic in the wind~

Really love that sky in the 2 pic. You can really see the change between the first pic and now this version. Also agree with the change of the title look. For the look of the background I think Italy with its city like Venedig or Florenz would be good for inspiration

For flight scenes Youjo Senki might be good even when it plays early 20th Century

Thank you very much! (Also I just spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out which city Venedig is, place names in different languages are weird XD)

Sven Hegenbart

Ha ha. Didn’t though about that xD yeah sometimes weird how places can have so many different names depending which language you have

Venice and Florence I'd assumed. I duetted Vivaldi's Concerto for two clarinets in a church just off the Ponte Vecchio when I was younger, the acoustics were amazing and it made me cry whilst I was playing which made keeping a good tone very difficult but it's a fantastic memory!
