Well, I’ve officially joined Zanaikin’s Imperium Project. Although my first attempt at writing the shared history of Canan and Exam, the characters who were subsequently placed under my charge, failed hard, eventually everyone on the project agreed that its core concepts were good and could be used if I could just edit my original draft. I’ve finally done just that, and while this new draft feels like a complete rewrite, it’s also a lot smoother and more focused than my first, and contains some input directly from Zanaikin. So I’m a lot more confident about this one – at least, enough to share it with the Internet.

Potentially massive spoilers after the break.

On Friday, Citrus finally decided to officially join the Imperium Project Dev Team. I think the 2 pictures I will post below were the factors that finally convinced him to take the plunge. In celebration we got together to do some planning on the as-of-then defunct third heroine path. In addition, I set up a new blog for Citrus under my domain named Taishou.

きのうはぼくのスピーチの日だね。ぼくはとてもしんけいしつ（Nervous）だったから、スピーチを話すのはちょっとよくなっかたとおもうよ。下にはさいごのドラフトです。

After the general disapproval of version 1, Zanaikin felt the need to draw his version of how he imagined Rika to look like and posted it on his blog last Thursday. While waiting for him to come to Olsson for our usual meeting, I set up the equipment and decided to get working on my redraw of her. I had finished her face for the most part by the time he showed up and got a general approval on it, especially the hair pin I gave her. In terms of changes, I didn’t do too much other than add a slight embellishment to her skirt because without it, it looked somewhat plain and empty. The other major thing I changed was the look of the boots. They are the same style as in Zanaikin’s drawing but have added embellishments to make her’s match everyone else’s, plus I really like designing foot apparel.

It’s been a while since my last art post but I finally finished. I had planned to finish off my work and complete the three remaining heirs but I lost the will to do anything and essentially wasted the rest of my spring break. Unfortunately that laziness followed me back to school so I have been goofing off by catching up on some anime and even reading manga for the first time in maybe half-a-year. Furthermore like I have stated in the past, I am not that good at drawing guys so even when I attempted to be productive and draw, I had nothing to work with. I also had the dilemma that I was the only artist on the team and had a difficult time finding some partners to help me. What is written below will follow the same format as the Girls’ Side post.

ぼくは新しいプロジェクトがあるから、今学きは先学きよりとてもいそがしい。友だちのザンアイキンさんはゲームを作るクラブに入っているから、今PC ゲームを作っている。ザンアイキンさんはぼくはえをかくのがすきを知るから、ぼくに「ゲームをてつだわない？」と聞いた。だからその時からぼくはロールプレイングとビジュアルノベルのゲームの「ザーインペリウアムプロジェクト」のキャラクターデザイナーになった。そのゲームはおもしろいコンセプトだと思うけど、ぼくはたくさんしゅ くだいがあるから、今何かするのがたいへんだよ。まいしゅうザンアイキンさんに会いに行って、ゲームの話を話す。キャラクターのも話す。

たのしい仕事だと思うから、はる休みにものした。コンピューターで二日ぐらいえを五まいかくけど後で何をかくのを知らないから、はる休みにあと何もかかないよ。その仕事はたいへんでたくさんの時間かかるから、あと一人のがかがいたつもりだった。（＊Rest of Paragraph Omitted　Due To Request＊）

はじめないいろいろな事がまだたくさんあるから、なつ休みも来学きももうゲーム作るクラブにつとめていてがんばるよ。だからぼくのゲームをたのしみにして。

I didn’t realize this until the usual game planning meeting last night but apparently there is a deadline today, namely finishing the preliminary description for the last Imperium Heir and the preliminary storyline for Sofiya’s path. Possible spoilers abound so those not on the dev team and planning to play this game may want to avoid reading the second half of this post regarding Sofiya’s path.

So I actually got around to working these past few days and finally finished drawing the female Heirs. I don’t have too much time right now so I will edit this post later with more detailed descriptions of my character sketches and insights into my design process. Thankfully I was able to make the self-imposed March 5 deadline and I think I was able to come up with some pretty good designs overall.

So this is not one of my usual posts and it barely has anything to do with anime but I thought it would be a somewhat interesting read. However, don’t expect an amazingly well done piece of literature. Last night, I had a hard time falling asleep because I was in deep thought thinking about ideas for The Imperium Project. When I did fall asleep, I woke up a few hours later, got some apple juice and went back to sleep to find one of the few memorable dreams I have had in quite a while.
