It's bright and cheery with the potential to ward off Bloodlines stalkers.
The old parcel is empty for the moment. Maybe I'll put a small, lowprim park there, or maybe a little kiosk like the kind I always wanted a small parcel in Nova Albion for.
The comic is progressing slowly, perhaps a bit too "safely." I just want things to look good.
Way back when I started taking Character Animation in Cal Arts, I grew averse to backgrounds, a consequence of penciling hundreds of poses over a quick set of lines representing an environment set on another level (pencil tests are backlit). This never left me, and I'm always wanting to get right to the characters.
I'm like that about characters too. I have many shallow and incidental types in the story - not to mention a villain. It's hard to put equal effort into figures one has little regard for, so I've made a consious effort to slow down to catch these.
There are many characters which are intentionally simple. They represent simple avatars. Then almost-realistic. Then there's representing actual people on the grid. My notes for the comic are over 4 pages, very little of it about plot.
More info as it becomes available.
