🕑 Added 2018-04-17 08:38:40 +0000 UTC EDIT 5:53 AM - The new Main Patreon Page is up! Go check it out! I'll likely continue adding to and tweaking it for the next couple of weeks...Whew. Okay, so I've learned quite a lot from this. Including, unfortunately, that my current skill level isn't up to handling the complex lighting for an entire room -_-. Which is why the shadow/light is a little bit on the primitive side her. Sorry about that, but I'm afraid that's the current limit of my ability. Still, aside from that (and the fact that I could easily have spent another 10 hours of tiny little touchups and corrections, but had to make myself stop somewhere) I'm reasonably happy with my very first ever attempt to draw a complete, fully colored, room.
As for the setting, I waffled between a comfy type setting like this and something more moderny (tile, metal counters, etc). Ultimately, I found photos of quite a large number of real Cafe's in Akihabara, and several anime bars/cafes. After narrowing things down, I settled on this type, taking much of the layout from a pair of the examples I looked at. I also left the main area a bit empty on purpose, if anyone is wondering about that. I figured it would make it less jarring for when various characters appeared overlaid on it. (We'll see if that's true in the next couple of hours, as I drop the characters and a logo in as a title screen concept).
Anyway, I'm gonna take a break for a bit, then get to drafting up a title screen and editing the main Patreon page.
