Planning for ArtFight 2026! [How I start to make my reference sheets + my goals]

It's never too early to start prepping for Art Fight! Want to add me? https://artfight.net/~Scaimz Go follow my instagram! i’m lonely 😭💔⬇︎⬇︎ https://www.instagram.com/scaimzli?ig... -- Who are these characters? Why are they here?? Why should I care??? They’re from Ruinous Mirrors, a passion project I have been working on for the last 8 years! My main intentions are to create a visual novel style game surrounding this story. However, for now I am focusing a little more of my time on creating animations and mini comics to garner support behind my project^^ The story of Ruinous Mirrors follows along with L[ily Hisui and other members of The Guild, an umbrella organization that acts as mediators between humans and beings of the spiritual realm now that the two planes have begun to merge. Recent rises in deviant activities from a radical faction, THE SHEPARDS, and associated groups has been causing surges in civil unrest. Ruinous Mirrors explores themes of cults, political corruption, and the art of deception. Interested in a universe that includes gods/dieties, monsters, magic, and the art of business? You’re in the right spot 😼‼️ Want to find me elsewhere?
