This the "Lichthof" (meaning "light court") of Munich University.
Since this scene leads into the first arc's showdown, and would be followed by a hiatus (because of my having drawn eps. 3-5 prior to eps. 1-2, and I'd come back later to do ep. 6 and following), I wanted it to take place somewhere special. My first choice was AD HQ itself, but shortly before drawing the scene I figured it wouldn't make that much sense… if I was going to take a battle to AD HQ it should probably be a big climactic fight and happen at a major turning point in the series… somewhere in the middle.
I also figured that when I finally got to continue the series I would have already graduated from university, so I chose this setting to pay tribute to my time there. I'm writing my master's thesis right now, and I haven't started drawing ep. 6, so there.
More info about the setting on the next pages…
EDIT:
TheMidge28: Thanks, I wanted to show several angles here so we'd get a good feel of the location. DAJB: I wish ^^ – Thanks! Riverghost: Thanks a lot! Fitz: You should get an award for not only reading the pages, but for commenting on each! Thank you thank you thank you… I'll try answering them all tomorrow (at least those that need answering)! I appreciate your suggestions, observations and compliments immensely. I'm majoring in philosophy, so there's no immediate connection between my comic work and what I do for university. For this page I just recreated what was already there, the only thing I can claim for myself is that I feel a certain awe when walking through this building, and I wanted to embed this feeling in the drawings. Rockster1039: Thanks for the support!
