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
桜井 an experienced city wizard
human male, grey hair tied in a bun, wears traditional dark blue kimono with silver patterns, wooden staff topped with a crystal orb
Sounds calm and measured.
蓮 a young apprentice wizard
human female, short black hair with a green hairpin, wears light green hakama and a white haori, carries a small leather-bound spellbook
Sounds energetic and clear.
狐火 a mysterious fox spirit wizard
fox spirit with orange fur and white underbelly, wears a red and black robe with gold accents, has glowing amber eyes and a floating scroll
Sounds soft and enigmatic.
The setting
A foggy gothic city shrouded in arcane mystery and shadows.
A fog-laden gothic cityscape at twilight, with towering spires piercing the mist and narrow cobblestone streets glowing with dim amber lanterns. Shadows stretch along archaic stone buildings adorned with arcane symbols, while ethereal wisps of magical light float silently overhead. The scale feels intimate yet labyrinthine, wrapped in an aura of secrets and ancient power.
