Though I don’t feel like I fully conveyed it in the comic proper, I /did/ have a strong concept for the general floor-plan of Foundation B. Those kinds of details aren’t /really/ that important, all things considered – the relative distance between Leon and Simon throughout is functionally conveyed by the dialogue – but it was a fun challenge trying to pin down exactly how Foundation B functions as a place.

Within all of the reference material I gathered for this chapter, I got a bunch of water park images/drawings. Ultimately, the only part of that which would manifest in the comic proper was Nova, which is a shame, but I’m at least glad I got to convey the humor in the idea of a water park being directly above a historical preservation society.

I ultimately only ended up with about half as much reference material for Foundation B as I did for locations in Chapter 2. Overall, I think the “aquatic” theming of this chapter seriously helped slot all of the distinct pieces together in ways that the last chapter lacked.

It also helps that I had a stronger visual identity in mind for this chapter’s locations, overall. While again, I don’t think I quite always nailed it as strongly as I could have, I’m at least proud of the fact that I DID include everything I wanted to show, if only for a panel or two.
