set no. 2 ~

it's not as fancy as the theater (which has gotten a lot fancier since i posted it ~ i just couldn't leave it alone). i feel like this one might need more contrast or something. i was a'feared to put more detail on the trees and one attempt to make some shadows on the ground looked like oog. so i may futz with this later, but i wouldn't be unhappy if this is the finished set. i made modifications from the picture from which this was derived. i wanted to make sure the cannons were visible and then i got lazy and didn't want to draw a bunch of them ~ one seems sufficient.


when i first conceived to write this story, the idea was that it was to take place entirely at the Arsenal: mostly in the court room and under this tree. i don't think we'll get as much use out of the tree in this latest incarnation, but i do have at least a couple of scenes in mind that will take place here (most are made up, but at least one is historically documented). and to maximize its usefulness, i can always shuffle people around.

since most of the action is still taking place in the courtroom, i need to start working on that. while i can get away with one static angle for most of the periphery scenes, there are too many people and there is too much going on in the courtroom, so i need a variety of angles. also, we spend so much time there listening to so much blah blah blah, it would help to shift viewpoints every other scene or so.
