What is your favorite thing about the character (Kirschtaria Wodime) you illustrated?

The cane he's holding represents his origins in the merging of old magecraft and modern day industrial technology, and I am satisfied with his unique design and how it turned out.

What did you focus on when designing the character, and did you need to make any design changes once you received guidance from the writers, setting, and reference documentation?

The request was to cater his look so he does not appear overconfident relative to his actual ability. I think that setup is something those who've played through the game would understand and agree with.

What was your inspiration behind drawing the memorial illustration from what was mostly text-based references?

I worked on the illustration by expanding what I imagined from his [Kirschtaria's] final conversation with Caenis in the scenario. I wanted to retain the beauty of his desire not to do any harm while also reflecting the solemn air of tranquility in the illustration.
