No worries, I'm cleaning the house so I won't be too active either.

Like stated above, the main area takes place in modern London and in a prestigious, international music academy. The kids stay there from ages 14-20, and then they move on with their musical careers or life. Some kids, however, are transfer students who transfer in from different countries, etc, etc…

Low-fantasy, if at all possible. Animal ears and tails are okay, but no furries, animals, magic, etc. This is supposed to take place in the real world with little fantasy elements.

And I know this might be a sensitive topic for some, but no LGBTQ here. Whether in the characters, story, etc.

Let me know your thoughts, all.

Quick question, how many rooms do we want in this? One for each instrument type or that with sub-types, like certain styles of music?

That's actually what we need to talk about. If you want, you can start with some expensive-looking courtyard. I think we can all agree that the academy needs a large main courtyard with maybe a fountain, benches, and pavement. And then the main gates and fences and etc, etc…

Design notes for drawing later:

Courtyard Entrance/Fences - Marble with musical notes at the very bottom of the entryway, the fences match the entrance almost exactly, just as a fence instead of an entrance, there are 3 entrances, one right side entrance, one left side entrance, and a front entrance where things like a parking lot, sidewalk, and a bus stop is located.

Courtyard - Starting at the entrance and ending at the academy doors, the pathway, which is a light gray and has a rectangular pattern, spans about 75 ft., in the middle there is a circular area made of the same pavement with light wooden benches on the edge and a fountain in the middle, from this circular space you can also reach the other two entrances via. other pathways leading to them. Surrounding the pathways and the intersection is a hedge about 3 1/2 ft. tall, though you can access the area outside of the pathways via. a few cut-out areas where you can find a variety of flowers, many of them are roses, mainly in shades of red, orange, and pink with a few purple roses scattered around the area.

Fountain - The fountain takes up about half the area of the intersection and is made of marble and has 3 layers, there are musical notes painted on the base and top as well.

(Let me know if I should add anything before I get to drawing)

Sounds good, actually. Will you be drawing the pixel art map, map in general, or the VS backgrounds?

I'm going to start on a sketch of the map in general, then I'll finish it up.
