I confess, I am not the best at backgrounds and landscapes (and I don’t really enjoy that). I first planned to have this comic in black and white – then thought that solid colour could bring a valuable support to the story. From there, I decided to attribute a special colour to each of my main and secondary characters, which would correspond to their personalities and roles in the story.
Shura is weak, but he is also the Fallen Man, the Son of the Sun – his colour is a bright yellow.
Akane is a fiery and passionate woman, who loves the action and the present – her colour is as red as her albinos’ eyes.
Chanda is loyal, trustworthy, attached to the traditional way – his colour is a vibrant, natural green.
The Seer is a mystical person, mysterious and magical – her colour is a rich purple.
The Storyteller is wise, calm, a person of guidance – She will be bearing a rather light blue.
Eiji is a weak yet ambitious man who betrayed his cousin – His colour is mustard, close enough to Shura’s, yet tainted.
These are the first examples but a few other characters of importance (like the clans’ leaders) will probably be added to this list. If my progress in the scenario keeps steady, I will be able to show you a more concrete example very soon!
