hello dolls, dears, & teddy bears ♡

sorry it has been much, much longer 
than anticipated to return to this blog and have a follow 
up to the previous post regarding schneekugel der rosen,

o dear it really has been awful while hasn't it..

but i am back now and hope to pick up this blog 

more frequently once more!

progress on schneekugel der rosen

let's get right to the celebration, the first draft 

for schneekugel der rosen is finally complete!

 

although i had originally planned to complete this 

back in april, this draft took until june to complete 

as it was more difficult to put together than i 

had expected it to-

what i thought i could manage before 

quickly became overwhelming, and i knew 

from the start the whole grand idea i had in mind 

was not going to work out
꒰ ྀི◞͈ ˔ ◟͈ ྀི꒱;;

so i had restarted the draft twice more before i came 

to realisation what it was i needed to do 

after looking over my previously mentioned inspirations, 

and then some new ones!

schneekugel der rosen will still at its heart be an art book 

with some short story segments told through letters, 

notes, and other diary entries as i have already planned 

however this will be almost exclusively through the perspective 

of the storybook version of myself (also called dolle rosenheart), 

i feel this makes the most sense as this story throughout all of its years 

has always been focused on dolle's story, 

and as this is also a very personal passion project i feel its for 

the best the main art book remains that way..

꒰ྀི ⸝⸝ᴗ͈ . ᴗ͈⸝⸝ ꒱ྀི

 

however, 

there are over 20 characters total within schneekugel der rosen, 

many that are essential the overall worldbuilding

so my solution: 

making an extension of the schneekugel der rosen project 

that will extend into a video series

i've already began working on the drafts for that too 
(thankfully the majority of their stories have already 

been written for at least a couple years now so i just have 

to adapt it into a new format)

i've been experimenting with video editing for a bit now, 

gathering free music resources, so i think i could do 

this rather easily with a little more experimenting..

a little history on schneekugel der rosen

as with last time will be once again sharing a little 

bite sized history of schneekugel der rosen~

a few months after i dropped the original concept of 

schneekugel der rosen i would pick it up again once more 

in 2016 with new ideas and motivations! 

and they were most certainly the weirdest ideas i ever 

had for the project;;

notably, i wanted to make it a dark fantasy magical girl manga..

this is the guardians of positivity era of schneekugel der rosen

even today i still have nearly almost all of my illustrations, 

concept sketches, outlines, and draft fragments 

so there is a lot i could share of the story if i wanted but, 

i would rather not because it's really embarrassing and, 

a bunch of questionable decisions when getting to 

more specific details;;

but i will give a small general overview of the story to 

at least give an idea of what it could've been 

ྀི꒰っ ς꒱

in the realm of the gods two dieties, Punita* of Positivity and 
Diabolos* of Negativity had a fateful meeting. Diabolos had 

desired to marry the goddess but she had refused his advances, 

which angered the god and would result in a brutal war. 

Punita would die during the battle and her surviving guardians would 

seal her soul into the dream realm until a new body could be crafted 

for her to continue living and put an end to negativity for good

for hundreds of years they kept this project secret and hidden from Diabolos, 

who was steadily increasing the negativity and hatred below on Earth 

as he strived for full power over the world..

finally they were able to craft the perfect doll body for Punita and 

reawaken her from her deathly slumber so she could reclaim her throne, 

increase her guardians, and heal the world from the bitter god's damages. 

unfortunately before the goddess could have a full oppurnity to recover she had 

went against her guardian's advices and left the safety of the palace to 

take a walk, which led to her being found out by the enemy and having to flee quickly, 

resulting in her casting a portal down to Earth and crashing the picnic

of a small group of high school girls.

desperate for help in a land she was now unfamiliar and aware 

she was being followed had made the quick decision to grant the 

girls the powers to be her guardians until her true guardians could 

locate and rescue her. 

eventually Diabolos would get word Punita was on Earth 

and would seek her out as well, leading to a series of chaotic events 

to occur in the little rural towne the goddess had taken refuge in. 
it was now up to the impromptu guardians to defend the weakened goddess 
and prevent a whole catastrophie destroying the place they call home....

*Punita was the name of Dolle during this time, though the design 

would later be repurposed for a separate character Rosaceae
*Diabolos was the name of Rosaire during this time, with 

combined traits of Heinrich;;

at the time the story was still intended to be a graphic novel/manga, 

i even made a mock page in one of my original journals!

and it will never see the light of day again 

꒰ྀི✧ ✧꒱ྀི

i was honestly, genuinely far more excited for this version of the 

story at the time, i had made probably around 3 outlines? 

but as i would come to realise 

it was overall incredibly bad concept the more i wrote 

and would not work out

guardians of positivity faced the problem i've always 

struggled with in writing- i kept tossing in ideas 

because i liked them, but then would not be able to 

execute them properly
i also just, didn't like having rosaire be the 
true antagonist-

i was just trying to cut corners and not have to 

worry about writing two antagonists so combined 

him with another and yeA....
for various reasons that was an incredibly awful idea hehe;;

im not sure how long it'll be until the next schneekugel der rosen 

update blog as i now enter into the first editing phase

for the project. 

i mean, its primarily an art project so it shouldn't 

be too difficult but, i simply struggle to get 

my words onto the page coherently

i can't wait till i reach the point i could 

seek out other eyes to give it a read and advice..

꒰ ˶> ༝ <˶꒱

so until then expect my normal blogs to return ♡
in fact i would begin to like using my blog more often, 

so you may see me again sooner than a week as i 

am currently reworking on it!
(what do you think of the new theme? isn't it cute!?
i found it for free use)

this ended up incredibly long, i think i need to 

begin rethinking how i do these posts.. 

well until next time i hope you visit again!

have a goodnight my dears, 

♡𝒷𝒶𝒷𝓎𝒹𝓸𝓁𝓁𝓮♡
