how tall do you make scot? I like him being at least 6'6 (198cm) 8 love him being absolutely massive especially compared to fran. big boi with even bigger hands amirite? I'd love to hare your size difference thoughts/headcanons!

YESS his hands are so big and chunky and calloused and he’s always got dirt or paint or whatever under his nails while fran has such dainty little hands and slender fingers with eternally perfectly manicured nails 💅 yin and yang in perfect harmony…

I haven’t thought about EXACT heights but I think realistically Alasdair would be pretty tall, maybe like a few inches over 6 foot. And Francis would come up to about his chin or his nose (depending on whether he’s wearing heels or not teehee)

But if we're going full on exaggeration, like animated movie couple level of exaggeration then Alasdair is most definitely almost 2 metres tall and Francis is head and shoulders below him (even with heels on) Alasdair is like 3x the breadth of Francis (maybe even 4, the man is a square okay)

Because like, personally for me, I like it when the size difference is most obvious in width rather than height. Don’t get me wrong I love it when there’s a big height difference too but like I want Alasdair to be a massive rugby player with broad shoulders and a barrel chest and Francis is just this twig he could snap in half 🤤🥴😩

Because I couldn’t stop myself, OBVIOUSLY I had to sketch a semi realistic version and an exaggerated version of how I see them. I think how I draw them kinda fluctuates between the two depending on what style I want to draw in. The latter is more cartoony and rushed and what I tend to gravitate towards if I’m just making a quick sketch and cba to focus on anatomy and the first is more for if I have time to spend on a drawing.

jerk in question is actually a cinnamon roll with crippling anxiety and a secret magic sword

The Dream Alchemist | February Update:

If you enjoy flirting in your visual novels, you’ll like Alasdair’s route. I don’t think I’ve been able to write a single conversation between Alasdair and Nova that doesn’t involve a least a little flirting. I mean, Alasdair really can’t help himself. It’s in his blood.  

Plus, if Alasdair’s stuck in cat form and hidden away in Nova’s coat hood, he really has little else to do with his time but whisper sweet nothings in her ear – that and teaching her the art of flirting so she may charm her way through the world and get what they need to end this war before it begins.  

Alasdair’s story has been so much fun to write. We’ll be taking a look into his backstory – which I do for all my characters, but is especially important for Alasdair since he’s Mr. Mysterious. What are his ties to the magic academy? Why does he live alone in a tower? What does he really want with Nova?

So far...

Art: 12 of 16 backgrounds done. 3 of 4 side character sprites done. Nova has 3 outfit changes – but I like the idea of throwing in a fourth.  

I’m hoping to get all the art done this month (which is more than achievable) so I can get stuck into the writing the last few scenes.

Story – same as last month. I’ve put writing and editing on the backburner so I can get through the art assets, which tend to take up most of my time on the project.  

We’re over the hump now – Alasdair’s route is over halfway done.
