Just, bury me in the soft melancholy of Freiren on her journey surrounded by ghosts every step of the way. The feeling of waking up and recognizing that time passed you by without you realizing it is something I find very poignant.

I know I could have gone Very Somber with this, but there’s something about the brightness of the series’ color palette that really captures me. It’s a subdued melancholy, out in the full light of the sun, walking with you every step of the way.

I visited a gorgeous historical Edwardian estate back in December and used some of the photos from that garden to inspire this fantasy environment. Ironically most of the garden is 100% different except for the glowing white orb in the back, which was absolutely taken from my photos (bless).
