@mercuryfoam , thank you so much. I love your story, so that means a lot :) I'll try to answer as best I can!
I'm definitely not an expert on the subject - most of it is improvised, though I do use certain games, books and movies for material (the winter palace from Dragon Age, Game of Thrones although I'm not a fan of it, Outlander, etc). If I'm really not sure of something, google usually has answers, though those are pretty weird sometimes as well. I had to look up medieval insults the other day. There's some weird ones out there. xD
How do you do research for the parts that you can't improvise? I read that you make your own poses. Did you start with that because it seemed interesting, or because the poses you needed weren't made yet? Either way, it's impressive!
I want to, but other than borders, I'm not great with picture editing :s there's some really cool ones on the forums. Maybe I can just put in a picture of the castle? Would that be enough? :D
Edit: I tried it. xD
