3/6 of the SBG powerpoint night main drawings are done
Here are a couple of the main drawings I did so far for powerpoint night. Once all of them are done I'll be making the headcanons and mini comics. I will also be making some extra slides just for funnies, too
The Slat from Six of Crows - this is how I came to this interpretation:
The Slat is described as a ricketty house leaning on it's neighbours in the typical row house style inspired by Amsterdam. We can deduce that it has windows on both it's front and it's back from the fact that in Crooked Kingdom, when Kaz and Inej arrive at the Slat, they enter through opposing sides of the attick: Kaz through his own office window and Inej through a pigeonhole bellow the hook that is used to hoist furniture up in such houses. Obviously there would be windows to living quarters underneath this hook, otherwise the hook would be useless and there are windows beneath Kaz's room as well, one of them being to Inej's room, from where the both of them can see the harbour on clear days.
Another clue regarding the Slat's configuration can be deduced from the fact that Kaz uses all the attick for his own rooms, however when Inej enters through the pigeonhole, she is not in Kaz's rooms (but above living quarters nonetheless) so how can this contradiction be? It is likely the area in which Inej enters is not hight enough for a room, hence a "half level" house is likely, where the rooms in the front are at a higher level than the rooms in the back, conveniently leaving a high ceiling for the Dreg's main room underneath.
We also know that Inej, perched on a beam beneath the roof, can see the entirety of the staircase and part of the main room, so she can watch Kaz fight the Dregs, which can be explained only if in the center of the house there is a wide 4-level opening, which would be consistent with architectural principles (living quarters near the windows, where they can be ventilated) and circulations & secondary spaces in the center.
ALL RIGHT. Let's do this. I drew a rough sketch of this scene three years ago, when I first read Six of Crows, and I am finally getting around to finishing it now. This is the "good copy" line art (on Arches hot press), and I'll paint traditionally right on top of it, then merge the images in Photoshop and do the lighting.
I had my own mental image of the characters before I saw the show, so they don't look a lot like Amita Suman or Freddy Carter, but I decided to leave them as is :)
