hihi! hearing that you were working on my veil request made me really happy it inspired me to draw kaiser as aleksander (ᵔᗜᵔ*)
...hahaha, yeah, i'm still working on ur req. i actually didn't know what veil was when you sent that in, so i figured i'd search up a summary and see if i was interested. there ended up not being much material besides two or three really old reviews with descriptions that honestly didn't tell me much about the vibe besides slice-of-life adjacent so i went ahead & tried the first volume, and then went ahead and devoured all six volumes in one night. (then proceeded to read slower for like the next week to fully process. crying because you can kinda tell when this req was sent in bc the seventh volume has come out since then)
it was so- idk how to describe it, but the art, the fashion, the little excerpts, (especially of the inanimate objects), the casual and sparse dialogue, all of it was so good. genuinely, though, as i've said in some previous posts, idt i've got the prose to match. i think i've rewritten scenes like 5 or 6 times atp bc i'm nvr satisfied. at some point i might just go "fuck it" and post anyway, but for now it's still a work in progress
and you draw! i'd love to see the final product, if u're willing to share ofc. more kaiser art is always welcome!!!
