This is a storyboard
These designs are, of course, not the final ones.
The storyboard is mainly there for composition work, colour palettes, and proofreading.
The lettering isn’t very pretty at this stage because I used Transmonkey to save time for the translated storyboard. I have very little free time, and lettering the entire storyboard in English would take me at least a day and a half.
The lettering in the final version is, naturally, flawless.
