✨ The Blackwood Family crest appears for the first time in Chapter 3 of Faded Origins! ✨
☆
🎨 Designed by the talented , it depicts how the Blackwood family protects and casts its rays onto the land and people they must protect. Why a moon? The Blackwood family leads the Britain underworld from the shadows (and is deeply entangled in the whole angel/demon lore—we’ll get there in future chapters 🤣). But even if a moon itself doesn’t produce light, it can reflect the radiance of others to reveal paths forward in the darkest of times.

Notice the title: Infant Innocence. This is a nod to A.E. Housman’s poem by the same name. LOVES that poem and in some ways, the Faded Origins series was deeply inspired by it.

☆
🤩 Here’s the cover reveal! 🤩
★
Did you know made this cover? Sora is the main writer, but he can draw too! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ (Although...he is VERY inexperienced with digital art...and goes crazy with filters...and pretends to know exactly how to use them...)
☆
”I will get better, Glenn. That, I vow to you,” Sora will say dramatically. Glenn will simply shake his head (in fondness?) and reply, “One of these days, when you have time, we’ll have a little twitch chat art lesson about colour.”

🔥 D-1 until launch! 🔥
☆
And the final thematic drop is fire! Fire brings with it both destruction and life. It brings the cycle around full circle. (Notice anything with the Faded Origins’ logo yet?) This characteristic also means there is a sense of closure—but life doesn’t always provide opportunities for closure. Sometimes, the only closure is to become the flame.
★
📲 Link will be up in our bio tomorrow morning! Stay tuned.

🏙 How can you be sure if you really know somebody? 🌃
☆
Today’s thematic hint is fog. When it’s really foggy, it’s very easy to mistake one thing for another. What may look like a person could actually be something else...But you will perceive things the way you believe. How can you judge somebody else by your own values then? Do you truly know that person you cherish?

😱 2 DAYS LEFT BEFORE LAUNCH! We never thought we’d get this far! 😖🥺

25/05/2020

🌓 Are we really that different, at the end of the day? 🌗
☆
Today’s thematic hint is all about duality & contrast. One of the key concepts in Faded Origins lies in understanding how they complement each other. Is it really contrast when duality exists?
★
😱 3 DAYS LEFT BEFORE LAUNCH! We’re sweating bullets and doing final checks. 🤪 Everything has to be just right.

GLENN: “Step 1: Sketch. Step 2: Lines.”

SORA: “...Well thank you for your time and expertise! This has been an excerpt from An Interview With Glenn: An Artist’s Process.”

🙈 TRUE STORY: was reviewing the storyboards roughly drew and a moment of hilarity ensued. “NO, Alan is sitting ON the bed!” Sora screams while choking with laughter on tea. 🙈

👀 We have birbs. Holy birbs. “How does it all connect...?” Another reason to read Faded Origins...and now we all know a certain writer has been way too influenced by Kingdom Hearts. 👀

writes and storyboards (as best as he can while apologizing profusely for the trashy proportions). And then the magical manages to transform scrambled stick-people scribbles into ART 🎨, who then passes it back for coloring. Sora stares on in wonder, awed by the majestic glory that is Glenn. 🥺 Now this is what a collaboration looks like. 🙌

☆
Richard Blackwood is the head and Master of the Blackwood family. He manages the importing business they run and is a no-nonsense man. A believer in efficiency and knowledge, he is disappointed in his son, Edward, because of his tendency to skip lessons. No matter, Richard is confident that Edward will grow up one day.
