Difference between revisions of "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter"

no edit summary
 
While the setting is a mix of Japanese and Korean influences, it was inspired mostly by Japanese media. The initial concept came from ''[[wikipedia:Hikaru no Go|Hikaru no Go]]'', which Brandon became familiar with through [[Peter Ahlstrom]]'s fan-translation. In it, a young boy finds a Go board haunted by an old master who offers to teach him the game -- hence a ghostly Painter teaching Yumi his craft, while ghostly Yumi teaches Painter hers. Additional inspiration came from ''[[wikipedia:Your Name|Your Name]]'', as well as ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]''. Yumi's name specifically is derived from Yuna, one of the protagonists of FFX.{{wob ref|15474}}
