That actually got me thinking as I don't think I've seen much if any material that covers old war-torn korea entailing the days during/ straight after the hostile Japanese takeover. There's a lot of positive aspects to this idea as it could really draw in people's attention and draw their interest but unlike the usual western references that i usually draw from(which are in abundance) I would have to go to different sources to design my characters and their world.
The reason why this idea excites me is that theres so much potential in the design capabilities of Korea during the 1900s (which was during the Imperial Japanese rule) as unlike the modern Korea most people associate my country with today, back then, it was incredibly economically underdeveloped. So much so that many were still wearing similar appearing garbs that ancient koreans had worn. Many houses were still constructed out of mud and many of our villages looked rather unchanged from the days of old.
I'm still unclear how much I'd be able to develop in order to show/ include in my final portfolio but I actually think it's worth a shot.
