Cyvii’s preferred method of communication was through detailed text/written notes with detailed and expressive feedback.

Accordingly, I sent her detailed, written notes on each character’s demographics/external appearance and also notes on personality, anecdotes, and relationships to help her quickly learn and be able to express the nuances of the characters from her initial sketches. This helped keep the project moving at a good clip & accomplishing the monumental project in a relatively tight 7 months.

I also utilized my comfort with graphic design software to create mockups like this of her initial Maid sketch within the card frame to give Cyvii a sense of the kinds of poses/ dimensions she should work within to optimize the artwork within the card frame.
