Production notes
Every story starts as a cast and a setting. Those are drawn once, then used as reference for every picture in the story, so the characters stay themselves from beginning to end.
The cast
Lukas the young squire
a young human male, short brown hair, wearing a simple chainmail shirt and a blue tunic, carries a wooden practice sword
Sounds eager and youthful.
Helga the seasoned knight
a tall human female with long braided blonde hair, clad in shining silver armour with a red cape, carrying a large shield with a lion emblem
Sounds firm and confident.
Rolf the grizzled veteran knight
a broad-shouldered older human male, graying beard, wearing battered dark grey armour with scratches, a worn helmet under his arm
Sounds deep and gravelly.
Fritz the cunning castle scout
a slender human male with short black hair and sharp eyes, dressed in dark leather armour suitable for stealth, carrying a small crossbow
Sounds quick and sharp.
The setting
Fog-shrouded castle overlooking the sea, home to four diverse knights.
A colossal medieval stone castle perched atop a fog-covered cliff, its towering grey walls veined with ivy and looming battlements silhouetted against a tumultuous, twilight sky. Dimly lit torches flicker along the narrow windows and archways, casting long, eerie shadows across the cold, mossy courtyards and winding stone staircases. The cold sea mist creeps in, blurring the edges of the vast, ancient fortress, enhancing the air of suspense and guarded secrets.
