    Here''s some extra stuff from the creation process:


    <ul>


    <li>1) Base output from SDXL for the Valkyrie cover art. It really nailed Eira''s look here. Hence why it eventually became the cover.</li>


    <li>2) If Eira had a little sister instead of a big brother</li>


    <li>3) HD version of an Valkyrie (Anja III to be precise), used for the image in chapter 9 (circlet still missing here)</li>


    <li>4) Sam and Em from my first story</a> had to stand ready as Valkyrie models when I did some first tests in sd 1.5 </li>


    <li>5) One winged Valkyrie twins? Why not? The circlets generated here actually became the base assets for all further circlets</li>


    <li>6) Early draft of chapter 18</li>


    <li>7) Experimented around with some other, more comic like styles</li>


    <li>8) Original planned image for chapter 20, but it focussed too much on the Valkyrie alone, not on the soldiers, and was too similar to the image from chapter 9</li>


    <li>9) Second try of an image for chapter 20. But no, the Valkyrie looks like she''s commanding the troops here, which is wrong. Also would''ve required lots of proportion editing. Just look at these arm lengths.</li>


    <li>10) Just some random image, but I find it beautiful</li>


    <li>11) And what might''ve been the biggest force of it all? Of course, music:


    <ul>


    <li>For the first 3 chapters + the bonus content: Relaxing Fantasy Music</a> and Medieval Fantasy Folk</a></li>


    <li>For most of the rest: Fantasy World Music</a> and even more of it</a></li>


    <li>Chapter 26: Soprano Solo</a> and Chorus</a></li>


    <li>Epilogue: This</a> and that</a>, and that</a> (I highly recommend all these games btw.)</li>


    </ul>
