Flashback begins (in panel 4). There's not much visual difference in Raidon many years ago. Unlike the other characters who have appeared in flashbacks, even his hair style remains unchanged. This is partly because I often use hairstyles/appearance to reflect personality changes. Take from that whatever you like to interpret the other characters too. ;-) (Btw, this is a “flashback chapter.” You know you love ‘em.)

Panel 4 was a little tricky because I needed to draw an unidentifiable counsel. I think I managed to pull it off. Sorry I can’t/won't reveal the faces or even the number of “criminal masterminds” in this group. This page simply shows that Raidon was a boss, but not the boss. He had others to answer to.

LanceDanger: A pretty nasty pair. Merideth is more fun because she's just psycho. ;-)

JustNoPoint: Merideth is something of a sadist. Alas, she is limited to squishing fruit at the moment.

Peipei: Unfortunately, they didn't do anything (or nothing anyone could prove) that would warrant solitary confinement.

amanda: With Kaida, it's a little more than recruitment… You'll find this flashback enlightening.

Tantz: I like to be accurate (with weapons, poisons, disease, etc.), so people can guess things. ^_^

trevor: Oh, the tie-ins will be profound for sure… (These characters used to be Kaida's supervisors.)

n_y_japlander: Thanks. It didn't take as long as some of my colored pages because it didn't need special textures. I really like drawing Raidon, so I can do it quite quickly.

worstcase: I've got close to 700 pages scanned already (I'm still drawing too, but not every day), so they just need cleaned up on the computer, which takes a few hours. It takes two days to get a colored page done. Time is easy to find when unemployed… But I should be starting a full-time job soon.
