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 setting

Background painting of A haunted, mist-enveloped medieval castle brimming with ominous dread. — **A haunted, mist-enveloped medieval castle brimming with ominous dread.**

A sprawling, ancient stone castle shrouded in chilling mist, its towering battlements silhouetted against a bleak, stormy sky. Flickering torches cast eerie, dancing shadows on the crumbling walls, and gnarled, twisted vines crawl up the facade. Inside, vast, shadowed halls echo with distant, ghostly whispers. The air is heavy and damp, filled with the scent of decay and cold iron. Dim, flickering candlelight barely illuminates the grim corridors, while cold drafts moan through broken windows, creating a sense of haunting isolation and impending dread.
