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
Lina a young city wizard
female human, wears a deep blue robe with silver stars, short curly black hair, carries a wooden staff topped with a glowing crystal
Sounds clear and gentle.
Gaspard an old wizard scholar
male human, tall and thin, long white beard and hair, dressed in light grey robes with ornate silver embroidery, thick round glasses
Sounds slow and thoughtful.
Milo a mischievous street magician
male human, small build, bright red cloak over simple clothes, messy blond hair, a satchel full of magical trinkets
Sounds quick and lively.
The setting
A misty, magic-infused city where lessons and mischief intertwine.
A labyrinthine city with narrow, cobblestone streets lined with tall, shadowed buildings adorned with fading magical symbols. Dim gas lamps cast flickering amber light through the persistent mist, creating deep shadows and a sense of hidden secrets.
