Bon sang ! Ce chapitre est assez triste quand on y pense, malgré le fait qu'Amelie vit dans son illusion qu'Iruma est la princesse qu'elle doit sauver car elle est sa chevalière. De l'autre pour rendre habitables les quartiers pauvres et réduire l'inégalité, elle s'embarque dans la contrebande. Elle qui se battait pour que les gens puissent vivre en paix et en sécurité, va finir par sombrer à cause de ce contrat. Dans le chapitre précédent, elle disait que le peuple voit les quartiers pauvres sont une tâche pour ce pays. Mais avec ça, Amelie va juste leur prouver qu'ils ont raison, surtout que ça m'étonnerait que la police reste les bras croisés.
Car là au début ce sera juste de la contrefaçon mais par la suite ça amènera d'autres activités illégales, ce qui en plus détruira l'ambition d'Amelie ! Et de l'autre je peux pas vraiment blâmer Amelie, elle a le cul entre deux chaises, elle a dû compter sur elle même et son gang pour veiller sur son quartier. Le peuple lui a tourné le dos, elle n'avait personne sur qui compter et au fond elle sait très bien, que signer ce contrat n'est pas la bonne décision à prendre, mais de l'autre quels autres choix il lui reste ? Au final, c'est pas Iruma qui doit être sauvé mais Amelie ! Quand à Iruma, je suis contente de voir qu'il y a des références à son côté archer dans la partie de paintball. Et j'ai bien aimé ses dialogues avec Azz, car ça ne fait que renforcer son ambition à lui d'aider non seulement Babel mais aussi Amelie !
Damn! This chapter is pretty sad when you think about it, despite the fact that Amelie lives in her delusion that Iruma is the princess she must save because she's her knight in shining armor. On the other hand, to make the slums habitable and reduce inequality, she embarks on a business of contraband. She, who was fighting so that people could live in peace and security, will end up falling because of this contract. In the previous chapter, she said that the people see the slums as a stain on this country. But with this, Amelie's just going to prove them right, and I doubt the police are going to stand idly by.
Because at first it'll just be counterfeiting, but eventually it'll lead to other illegal activities, which will also destroy Amelie's ambition! And on the other hand, I can't really blame Amelie, she's doesn't have another choice, she's had to count on herself and her gang to look after her district. The people turned their backs on her, she had no one to rely on and deep down she knows that signing this contract isn't the right thing to do, but what other choice does she have? In the end, it's not Iruma who needs saving but Amelie! As for Iruma, I'm glad to see that there are references to his archery side in the paintball game. And I liked his dialogues with Azz, as it only strengthens his ambition to help not only Babel but Amelie too!

Since Twitter might not be a thing for much longer I wanted to move the trivia threads for my picture books to tumblr.
OC lore dump and sketches for my first self-published picture book Hurricane Lane under the cut;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The number one thing I'm worried about is people thinking my book is related to the hurricane of the same name. I wrote this in 2010-2011 which predates it and the title is meant to convey Amelia's life in her suburban town and how she views it more dramatically then it is.
The name was also inspired by this beautiful song by The Hush Sound which I was listening to a lot whilst concepting and really influenced aesthetics (more subdued colour, the inclusion of the piano being an important story point etc).
I started getting interested in children's illustration when I saw the Penguin Design Competition advertised at my uni in 2010. I didn't make the cut but figured I'd go ahead and finish my book anyway because at that point I was invested in my story and wanted to complete it.
The contest called for an ebook with interactive pages so I made Hurricane Lane have seven special pages of  'wonders' Amelia finds throughout her story. Unfortunately with flash player gone the interactions don't play but they're still found online here;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I based Amelia's design on a Mii I had made which was supposed to represent a human Pikachu. You can see the Mii on the bottom left here. I really liked how it looked and she gradually evolved into what she is today.
Tumblr media
Initially the dinosaur suit that her brother has was going to be worn by Amelia but I preferred her without it and thus Bailey was born. The dinosaur itself was based on a purple stegosaurus keyring I had when I was younger and loved even though I had no keys at the time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are some more initial outfit designs for Amelia but in the end I went with the one on the right, inspired by Miku Hatsune's 'Out and About' module from Project Diva.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The family's father Rupert was partly based on my own dad (definitely the dress sense) but in 2010 I was also really obsessed with the BBC show Merlin and may have tried to age up Colin Morgan a bit to make this character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mother's design was a little based on my own Mother's and a little the title character of the film Amelié (she evolved beyond this quite early so there's not too striking a resemblence). I was also obsessed with the music in that film which inspired this book a lot.
Tumblr media
I kept it vague whether she worked at the hospital or was staying there as a patient because at the time I had an idea for an overarching narrative where the families of Hurricane Lane and 256 Postcards Ago meet. This didn't pan out so feel free to have your own interpretation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's some initial concepts of the logo which I was mostly scribbling during my Uni classes.
One more random tidbit is that I based the background of their journey home from the Toad's Turnpike track in Mario Kart 64. I really loved that game and it holds a lot of childhood memories for me so the nostalgia felt fitting. Maybe that's too weird to mention!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Towards the end I was concepting the protagonists of Hurricane Lane and 256 Postcards Ago meeting in a connecting rpgmaker game but sadly that never came to be. I'll talk about it more in my thread for the next book though!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also made a little soundtrack for my book here
1) Kiara 2) Cornflake Girl 3) Indaco 4) La Valse D'Amelie 5) 春よ、来い (kites) 6) The Heart Asks Pleasure First 7) Lotus (dragon hunters) 8) Nightbook 9) Reverie 10) Hurricane
Tumblr media
I listened to these songs a lot while reading and the final track inspired the title.
And final last tidbit- Hurricane Lane takes place in my childhood hometown. It doesn't have too many standout locations but I took photos for background references and anyone who lives there may recognize the small nods to it.
Tumblr media
(Almost forgot links to where you can read my book) Amazon paperback; https://amazon.com/dp/1475009097 eBook; https://frayedsymphony.gumroad.com/l/LuNug
Thanks for reading!
