Circlejourney, but art

Guess what, I made an album for Offshore (because of course I did) and it will be released on 14 February 2023. Here's a preview of the album cover!

This took me about 12 hours! I'm making a habit of spending 10+ hours on art lately, I like this.

I have realised that she doesn't have clothing storage so just imagine that that cutout in the floorplan in the top left is actually a walk-in closet.

It's Jinai's apartment! I've had this space in a fair bit of detail in my head, but it was always a bit nebulous and stuff kept shifting around as the scene required, so I finally drew it out. Also took the opportunity to think about the things Jinai owns and why they're there, and explore her personality through it.

Of note:

• trophy on Jinai's desk - it's a junior national champion trophy and she just uses it as a stationery holder because it looks like a toy. the rest of her trophies and medals are in the cupboards under it
• orca plush on her bed - idk if she has any special attachment to orcas but I associate them with her thanks to Killer Whales by Smallpools (which I kinda see as her theme song)
• pics from Jinai's parents' home on her wall, including two of her and her parents
• Jinai has 2 of every utensil - this gets discussed later in the story
• wooden screen to (ineffectually) separate the bedroom from the study area
• floaty bedside lamp - Threads are the handwavey magic of Helfi and they are generally used to levitate things
• Anqien in their favourite spot (they crash overnight there sometimes)
• chopped onions? she tries to cook sometimes

I'll colour/shade it another day.
