OK, I've been getting a lot of material from this vintage era lately, Victorian or something. I'm starting to realise why they love this style and I'm thinking of using it now in my teaching
I want to stick to the concept of linking technology and magic, like there's no need to adhere to any laws and be tempered with the correctness of the era when it's fantasy
Plus for the upcoming Christmas - this style does seem most appropriate, a slight retro or something, so it will look interesting

I really need to work through some things as I have quite a few abandoned sketches, just because it's starting to get tedious for me to finish this in full form
But one of the tips from a student from a concept art course that I used a little bit, but then kind of completely forgot about is a partial background of objects, just showing the space
This solves my problem with getting tired of full backgrounds in my own work, like it's fine when I do it for others, but for myself it's much more challenging

I've found really a lot of useful material on youtube, like it's up to 30 lectures of 3-4 hours each and really useful material
Maybe I really shouldn't post most of the working materials with objects, space and developments here, apparently my page on artsearch will soon change from reader to author status
