619:Black Wings Kaminari

Author Notes
Behold the wall of text! :O

Although Rain and Emily are nowhere to be found, keep in mind that the text is all italicized, so this is actual dialogue from Rain right here. She may be shy, but man, can that girl talk when she's into the subject matter.

If we want to be technical, Rain's already gushed about Kaminari way back in Chapter 2. If you thought she said a lot then, keep in mind she kept it to a single panel. This fleshes things out a bit. Does that mean the story of Kaminari is actually plot relevant though? Sort of. Pretty much everything in there is symbolic (whether to the comic itself, or the themes within it), so there's actually a lot to take in.

Artistically, I've gotten used to drawing Kaminari a lot. The rest of her party, I'm still pretty new to (but it was fun, finally officially working these designs out). We've seen Aneko and the back of Hokori in a rare manga page sighting back in Chapter 3, but that didn't make this any easier. I tweaked Aneko's design a lot in particular. It's similar for sure, but I thought her original look was a bit blah compared to how flashy Kaminari was. Hokori's design meanwhile is almost entirely based on a character from an abandoned story of mine from ages ago. I think he fits pretty well here. Rei was completely new. I made him up as I went. He's not my best, but I still kinda dig the way he came out. Especially his staff. ^_^
