Description Code Geass - Farewell?
[Episode- R2 22]

The title for this one is oddly fitting. As well as the scene itself. It's both up in the air. Are these goodbyes really goodbye? Will this really be my last Code Geass 4koma?
Even I don't know the answer to either until the end.
After this week I don't expect to make any more Code Geass 4komas. See my journal entry for more details.
If I'm happy with the end of the series I will make 4komas for the last three episodes. If I don't then they end here.

I'd really like to continue these series of 4komas, but if the series finale irritates me I don't see how I could. That ending would always be on my mind while working on them. If a series end irritates you, do you always want to keep thinking about it week after week after week? I would think not and I would hope everyone wouldn't expect me do be some kind of masochist.

I paid special attention to the angles and the settings in this 4koma. Nearly everything is like it appears in the episode. With the exception of the last panel.
I really wanted to get their position right in compared to the scene of the episode.
The backgrounds are what took the longest here. Funny enough what took a LONG time to get right was the decorative railing on the hand rails of the steps.

You'd be amazed how tricky it can be to draw a kissing scene. You basically have to start out with two circles that slightly over lap. Not too much though or it will look like they have half their head in each others mouths. Even more so when you draw the angle of the lips.
For the attentive you may notice I was trying something different with Kallen's hair. I just wanted it to look softer and have more of a flow to it while in the headband.

[SPOILER WARNING!!]
A recent interview with Kallen's VA was released. She talks about how Kallen was never sure of her own feelings for Lelouch until she kissed him. Before she was never sure if what she felt was just loyalty, but after the kiss she realized that she really likes this guy.
The scene itself never shows that reaction. It would seem odd that the character finally realizes she feels that way and suddenly moves on. I would only expect that the reason they didn't do it there is, because there will be a scene later on.
This gives me some level of hope for a good ending to the series.
It's just that if this series rushes some pairing with a character like Gino in these last three episodes after that scene. I will never forgive this series.

I hope you enjoy. Please be sure to post comments. I look forward to reading comments.

I agree.....if Gino gets paired with Kallen then that is messed up....I've always been a Kalulu fan and apparently you are too. Let's hope for a good ending together! Oh and we were both right about Nunnally and ppl in FLEIJA living hehe.

Great work. The best thing is it's absolutely true.

I really want at least one more Kallen x Lelouch scene in the show...he needs to give her a real answer or at least show her with his actions.

Gino sucks. I hope the preview is a lame tease.

Lolz, I nearly thought he was pointing his middle finger. Hmm, now I'm beginning to wonder about the ending. I've heard that in ep 24 it would be a Lelouch vs Nunally and Suzaku vs Kallen...

Well the episode summaries for episode 24 just says, "In the sky Leloucn confronts Nunnally and Suzaku confronts Kallen."

Hmm, yeah, but hell who knows what they might do to each other. Lolz, what are the chances that Suzaku would do payback on Kallen for doing that seven hit combo on him?

Oh man,I was kinda annoyed when I saw this scene in the ep because the lack of..well..anything.At least there was a kiss.

FoxxFireArt In reply to kaziel7 [2008-09-11 03:45:35 +0000 UTC]

Well there was in interview with Kallen's Voice Actress. In it she talks about this scene. The director told her that Kallen pretty much kisses him without thinking. After she kisses him and he doesn't react she suddenly realizes, "Whoa, I really like this guy.". basically, Kallen didn't realize she loved Lelouch until just after the kiss.
Despite that though she doesn't feel like she can just follow him.
The scene itself doesn't really show this so I could only guess that we will be told as the audience later on.

I know what you mean. It would be nice for them to have another scene together. I read an interview with Koshimizu Ami, Kallen's voice actress, where she talks about that kissing scene and what the director told her about it.

You really do. If you like me too, I could show Fred your work. When I see him though. Because I don't know if he has been able to check his Emails lately do to the Animation and comics.

But if I see him, I would not mind showing him your work.

FoxxFireArt In reply to DreamStarRei [2008-09-11 01:09:53 +0000 UTC]

It would be cool for Fred Perry to see my stuff, but I doubt he would have time. I'm sure he's asked by a lot of people to check out certain artists.
Just watching his blog he hardly has the time to update that.

I used to draw in a different style, but this style is far more fun then any other I've ever worked in.

Though his work load is a lot bigger then mine.

I really think of his Lvl Up! shorts when I make these 4koma

Tetsukon In reply to ??? [2008-09-10 23:48:08 +0000 UTC]

In a way, I still like the way the Code Geass show is formated. Even though there's been a kiss and everything, there is so much still up in the air that it still is pretty much impossible to guess how the series will end. It isn't usually like that with other anime's.

FoxxFireArt In reply to DaddyWang [2008-09-11 00:53:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, The scene had a strong romantic feel. Just listen to the music. It's a soft and beautiful chorus. Music selection can be very important to a director for a scene. You should notice that the music starts right at the kiss and ends after the scene changes.
I do know that I read an interview of Koshimizu Ami, Kallen's voice actress, where she talks about the kiss. She said the director told her that Kallen's character never realized that she had deep feelings for Lelouch until they kissed. Kallen's reaction of the kiss is, "Whoa, I really like this guy.". (That is a quote from the interview that the director told Koshimizu.)
