Daisuke's Notes on Venom's Concept and Design:
Like Millia, he was raised in the Assassin's Guild from an early age. He adores Zato.
He was set up to be a long-reach character and flier. I wondered what kind of character I should make. Originally, he had a cello.
He actually had a fan for a weapon before Anji did. He also had a large cross, which I thought was the best concept, however, we were told that it was OK to have it as a part of his design, but not to hit anyone with it.
When I was struggling, I went out to play games as a distraction. One time, as we were playing billiards, we talked about how interesting it would be to have a fighter who fights with a pool cue. But I thought the character would be too boring with just the cue alone, so I made it so that his hair also covered his face and added a mark on it with a bit of paint.
Since the head had such a strong personality, I wanted to keep the body simple. However, I wanted to change the overall shape of the body to make it similar to Zato's, so that's why the legs are like that.
As for the pants design, if I wanted to keep it simple, I would have made each leg the same color, but that would've made his figure appear more naked. To find a way around this, I made one leg light and the other dark to add more of a mysterious flair.

ur art style has such a specific interesting vibe, its like vector art figures from 2000s book covers and flash games, what r ur inspirations!
it's because the only art program I have access to is sketchbook on a small samsung tablet, the pressure is abysmal and the tools available are very lacking but I'm making it work. I don't super have inspiration other than that's just how I draw 🤣 I've always done solid lines and thick colors and stuff like that, and I can see what you mean about it being like a flash game, which makes sense because some of my first digital art was making flash dress up games with a trackpad waaaayyy back in 2008/9/10 !!

☙ HEALER AMRYN'S JOURNAL / RIVEN HEALING HOUSE, TEMPLE OF ILMATER
Two moons have come and go since the accident happened. Hesperos is improving but progress is slow. His motor skills are fine yet he doesn't speak and rarely interact with the other priests if not prompted. I'm starting to get worried about possible lasting effects on his memory, sometimes I get the distinct impression the man doesn't know who I am or what I'm talking about when I try to remind him of his vocation towards the clergy. His spellcasting abilities seem to be intact but I must confess, I struggle to see how he can truly channel Ilmater's divinity or become his instrument in these conditions. Alas, it is not my place to judge or to worry about such things. I will continue to monitor the situation and report on any new findings.

SH2 remake defense posts are giving me actual flashbacks to IDW stans going "don't ruin my enjoyment, you're personally harassing me and this is why we can't have nice things" and making strawmen of your concerns while also missing the point of the criticism by a mile. The wording and sentiments are exactly the same.
I wonder if this is just how fandom is now, where criticism is considered toxic regardless of what you say, how you say it, or in what quantity. Shut up and enjoy Product(tm), you're harshing my buzz.

Half way through Nanowrimo and hit just over 27,000 words as of meeting today's word count! Am I a little scared that the consistency is lulling me into a false sense of security? Yes. Do I have a plan for what scenes I'm writing tomorrow? Luckily yes.
Have I managed to avoid describing some very Essential things in any real detail? Also yes.
Do these things happen to include what characters are wearing, what some places look like, and what some things I've mentioned vaguely even are?
...yes.
