Curious what vibes are apparent. I like what’s here but I’m not sure it’s doing what I want it to.

      I’d say there’s definitely some Japanese influence in the architectural and interior design, but I tried to avoid a direct reference by having more solid walls, wood flooring instead of tatami mats, and flags instead of those seal stickers. I guess that might end up looking more Chinese.

    It looks like they are an occult scholar of some fashion. Not like a maddened wizard but just a smart person who knows magic shit and knows the details behind it

      Yeah, that is what it looks like. I want to communicate a little more unease. Not exactly a mad wizard, but definitely not someone who is comfortable and stable either. Knowing their shit is a sticky thing. They definitely are practiced and exceptionally familiar with what they’re doing, which I do want to convey, but in a way that is unpleasant. I guess I want to show that they are calm, or focused, but that that calm is utterly tenuous.

      I tried to use some of the clutter around them to convey a sense of disorder at the edges, but I think it might be reading as just a sort of familiar disarray to certain kinds of people who have very specialized workspaces.

        That’s exactly what I thought. Like they know it’s a little messy but they know where everything is and could grab it in an instant if needed

        This whole art dope by the way. It’s super rad
