Echoes from the Rim pg. 27 — Description

From the Start Chapter Start

This page took twice as long as it should have
I don't know what was more taxing about this page than the last one but oh well. No wonder I had to keep delaying it, it took 64 hours to complete. I sincerely hope the coming pages don't take that long.

Also meet Jin's friends, Lee, Tokki (tow key), Koe (Koh ay) and Liiru (lee roo), fellow Shengo monks. And of course, Tiil (teal).

Not sure I like the colors for Tokki's, Koe's and Liiru's clothing but it is what it is. I took a lot of inspiration from the traditional chinese hanfu and some various traditional thailand apparel, especially with Tokki. Unfortunately it's hard to find extensive information on clothing colors with these sorts of things, especially in traditional illustrations which were done in black and white, unless I'm looking in the wrong places. All in all I had to do some extensive experimenting with said colors given I didn't have too much to go off of for standard everyday wear, which became a behemoth of a chore and I don't even appreciate the result all that much. Maybe I'll alter their colors going forward as I see fit, like I did with Lee. His monk uniform was originally yellow and white, but on the previous page I tried a soft purple for his main robes and it stood out to me so that's staying.
