Been struggling with moodboards for four settings. It's aggravating. I do hazily know what I want these places to look like, but finding reference material to back up how light and shadow and atmosphere would look is really a bear.

The downsides of illustration: you may have to be very explicit in your setting (the upsides of writing: words, words, words!). I don't think this is an even trade for not necessarily having to name everybody when illustrating (as opposed to writing) (i.e., I don't have to think up names for the Eszett peeps, woot!).

(The locations so far: Suiren, where Schuldig is from; the exterior of Rosenkreuz; Takatori City; and Eszett's... er, HQ.)

In related news, it's been a monster bummer of a week for unknown reasons, but all your kind words have been so appreciated. Eternal thanks.

A check-in about just... checking in. Everyone has one... two... hopefully not more... off-days, right? So today was not productive, but I'm hoping tomorrow is better. Life is just weird atm, and I've reached a creative/fear block I need to puzzle out.

eeeeey. So this February I'm going to entertain a goal of posting every day on progress on my Weiss Kreuz/Miyazaki crossover project* to help keep me accountable and on-track. (Er, excepting yesterday, I suppose! But I did do work that day, so there's that?) Just a warning that your reading page may be spammed, but I'll put posts behind cuts to help out lol.

It's time. This baby is going to see forward momentum. SO I CAN HAVE THINGS FROM THIS PROJECT TO POST BY THE END OF THE MONTH. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.




It would mean a lot to me if you commented on these check-in posts this February, even if just to say "gambatte" or "A+" or "nice!" or whatevs--no commitment expected for even a whole sentence with punctuation, man. ;) I get discouraged working alone, and the WK fandom is so quiet (compared to hot properties like Free! or YOI, etc.) that sometimes spending time on a wk project feels to me like puttering away in a post-apocalyptic bunker somewhere. XD But in reality I know you fellow fans and/or creatives are out there somewhere! Gimme a nudge of support when you can? You don't even have to like Weiss Kreuz: I'm just looking for support. Be the Jack** to my Ronald***: even if ya hate it, give me a fist bump?

ALSO: if you, too, are hammering away at a project or inspired to Get A Thing Done by the end of the month, I would be happy to support your check-in posts as well! Let me know in a comment here if I should be looking for your posts!



*also, also! there's going to be a crossover challenge posted v soon in the Saiyuki/Weiss Kreuz AU comm that lauand and I are hosting, so stay tuned! If you're of a mind to play in the Weiss Kreuz crossover or Saiyuki crossover sandbox and create something, things are a-brewin'.

I like to come up with long lists of Things I Would Do If I Were Rich. (Like almost everyone on this planet save small percentage, I don't fit into that category.) But today's new list item: wouldn't it be great to just indiscriminately and randomly fill people's amazon wish lists? I was doing a search for my niece's amazon wish list, and there are very many people who share her name. Their lists are a wonder. Wouldn't it be delightfully crazy to just have every Jane Doe receive a box full of her wishes because you could afford to just go whimsical like that? Hopefully it wouldn't make people nervous. I know it's small potatoes on the Things People Need dept, it's just expectant wish lists make me a bit sad.

Anyway. Should I come into Money. After buying a second pair of trousers.
