Here is the first major background for the next Jack Magic page. I will add Zidler and Jack on a boat in the canal there, and more people all over the place!

I just need other ideas to add to this! I really want this city to be a happenin' place, if a bit intimidating! Here's the set-up: this story takes place in a fantasy world, which resembles the French and English Enlightenment Period. So I took inspiration from Milan architecture, as well as French. The Enlightenment Period was known for a boom of inventions, science, and interest in the church, and the nature of human life, rather than superstition. What kind of boat should Zidler and Jack be riding into the city on? What other things can you think of can go here?

Niiice. I love the lighting on that big dome thingy. When I first saw the pic, I thought one of those really loooong boats with the tall curly ends that they use in Venice would fit well. And you could have some market type stall things or something. I mean, boats and stalls sounds dull, but it'd be cool if you could put some sort of twist on it to make it fit the setting better.
