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
ケンジ the young knight
A slender human male with short black hair, wearing silver armour with a blue cape; carries a simple sword
Sounds clear and confident.
ミカ the experienced knight
A tall human female with long brown hair tied back, dressed in dark bronze armour with a red scarf; holds a spear
Sounds calm and steady.
タロウ the loyal squire
A small human boy with messy blond hair, wearing a green tunic and leather boots; carries a wooden shield
Sounds cheerful and quick.
シロウ the castle captain
A broad human male with short gray hair and a beard, clad in heavy black armour adorned with gold details; wields a large axe
Sounds deep and commanding.
The setting
A medieval castle shrouded in shadows and guarded by loyal servants.
A sprawling medieval stone castle perched atop a rugged hill, with towering grey walls weathered by centuries. Narrow windows peek from battlements, and banners in muted reds and golds flutter in the chill wind. The courtyard is cobbled, dappled with shadows under a cloudy, dim-lit sky, casting an atmosphere of suspense and secrecy. Sparse torchlight flickers within shadowy corridors, and the great hall looms with dark wooden beams and heavy, wrought-iron chandeliers.
