Modern AU Laura sitting on a rooftop looking at her phone with a backdrop of an early autumn forest, for LotusAnimations! I kinda imagine she's far from her apartment in the city, perhaps visiting family, and is trying to get signal (or escape the relatives).

This is 1 of 2 quick sketches made for the winners of a Discord fanart contest from last year. As always, I don't organize these contests or have anything to do with the fan discords, but I was asked if I could provide sketches for the contest winners and I was happy to oblige.

Sketches from previous year's contests:

(2021): Professor Lynn and Cute Maid Flora

(2020): Coop Gaming & Ear Touch and Magic Mistletoe: Zen and Clovis

(2019): Hoist the Sails & Objection!

This is beautiful

Professor Ryuusei

Beautiful sketch! Also fanart competition on discord?

What a comfy looking neighborhood. I do wonder what that building with a ball of magic in its middle represents though.

My favorite part is that Laura's hair looks so natural, without the Sephiroth bangs.

Everyone needs to be able to escape and decompress when life starts running headlong into you. Glad to see you have a place for that, Laura. You do you.

i'd probably do something similar to what she does to relax from a noisy crowd when i feel too crowded or too compressed with other people solitaridy can be a wondrouse thing to relax and decompress to gather your thoughts

silver dragonia

as you mention it and i see it i wonder about that building aswell maybe something about the mana crystal or about the magic itself?

Minxie's Den

I know I don't get suggestions and votes, but this would look great in color.

I like being out side to. But I personally prefer being on the ground though

Templar towers are quite instrumental in the canon story: https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/848/ https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/400/ And what is probably a modern version shows up quite often in the background in the modern AU sketches: https://www.patreon.com/posts/selfie-sequel-53499561 https://www.patreon.com/posts/snowy-overpass-41254440 https://www.patreon.com/posts/lo-fi-hip-hop-37762036 https://www.patreon.com/posts/college-kat-25417536 https://www.patreon.com/posts/colin-boop-19224026

Can I just add to the rest of the general praise, which I heartily reecho, that I adore the attention to detail in this scene? Like how the houses have a clear American suburban design yet still appear to have some Medieval European elements to them like the heavy timber beams and clay tile roofs. It shows a distinct link between the Modern AU and the original Twokinds world, like this genuinely is the same world just a few hundred years later, where things like technology and architecture have evolved but certain familiar traits still remain.

I amazed you had the mean to track down so many instances of it in the story. Thanks for the explanation.

i think that might be the Cyberpunk city from Cyberpunk Kat
