Here’s what I got so far:
-Still doing revisions/editing! Making a good dent.
-Scenes 1-4 of the visual novel have been fully plotted out.
-Started sketching portraits of characters based vaguely on order of appearance (it’s more when they’re mentioned). I’ve wanted to do this for a good while.
-Trying to work on Liner Notes’ branding. This is something that’s eluded me for well over a decade. So after a bunch of sketches, I think I’m getting somewhere
Still haven’t quite nailed it, but I’m drawing inspiration from a few things here. The first and most obvious is design pulled from the 70s, something sort of in the vein of glam/garage rock from that era. The second is that I’m trying to incorporate cassette tape iconography (ie: the little reel teeth in the ‘o’). If possible, I want to maybe include some magnetic tape that winds around the logo itself, as seen in the diagram below (it forms a trapezoid with the two large circular reels in the center and at the bottom of the cassette itself):
Of course, that might make it all a bit too busy, but I’m gonna play with it a lot more and see where that goes.
That’s about it! I’m gonna get back to work now.
