Xiapu Visual Guide
A comprehensive art-and-lore compendium of the Xiapu Chronicles universe — character designs, world settings, and production notes presented as an interactive gallery. The visual guide is the essential reference document for one of the most richly developed worlds on Neta Studio (414 works and counting).
About This Template
In a world with 414 works, a visual guide serves a critical function: it is the map that makes the territory navigable. This interactive compendium collects character designs (showing each character's visual evolution across expression sheets and iteration rounds), world setting art (the environments of Xiapu High and its surrounding locations), and production notes that explain the creative decisions behind the visual novel's development.
The guide format bridges the gap between a gallery of finished artwork and a behind-the-scenes documentary. You can browse it casually as an art book, or study it as a reference for how a large-scale visual novel project is organized on Neta Studio.
How It Works
A paginated interactive gallery with categorized sections. Browse by character, by location, or by production stage. Each entry includes the finished art alongside annotations about iteration history and design decisions.
Who It Is For
- Xiapu Chronicles fans wanting the definitive reference for the world's visual identity
- Visual novel creators studying how to organize and document a large-scale character art pipeline
- Art directors and character designers interested in iteration and refinement workflows
Highlights
414 Works, One Reference The guide does not replace the individual works — it contextualizes them, showing how each piece fits into the larger Xiapu universe.
Production Transparency Annotations and iteration history make the visual guide as much a documentary about the creative process as a gallery of finished art.
Living Document As the Xiapu world continues to grow, the visual guide is designed to accommodate new content.
