>Convoluted stuff like that hinges on a writer's direct ability to execute and entertain properly
well i'm not a writer, i'm an artist, and i'm trying to tell the story visually. i just wanted to know if the story itself is interesting as a premise to continue. i guess it's not because of the amnesia thing?

i don't mind scrapping the entire thing if it's not interesting. i think i'm having trouble with the writing because i want the audience to be immersed in a specific mood/vibe; something melancholic and dark but with small moments of hope and optimism to convey why those moments are worthwhile/important. do you have any book recs that i can look into that use this mood with an interesting story?

also, i have two characters i want to feature particularly with one of them deformed in some way (which is why i went the undead angle). they are implied romantic but it's also some form of respect for one another, but i don't necessarily want to go into romance genre because i personally find this boring as the main focus. i think the mystery of something and how the protagonist goes about resolving it is more interesting.

i'm confident i can hit these notes visually, but i need a story to "make sense" of the mood and be engaging enough for someone to read til the end.

pic related, want to make a fantasy-based story in a way like how this photo evokes a certain mood/mindset.

fuck i wish i was better at describing this situation.
