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.

Yeah, this is what comes of characters knowing that they live in a comic-book universe (or equivalently an anime universe)!
I would have guessed that you would have played off the fact that apparently Lelouch became Emperor in order to give Suzaku the (pardon the expression) gayest uniform in the history of the Empire (especially given one of your first 4-koma gags, in "Bad Call ")! I mean really, purplish-blue body stocking with skin-tight knee boots and see-thru shoulders? I mean, I know it's CLAMP and all, but come on!
Still, a good way to work a funny reference to the usual series "romanceus-interruptus" into the heart-twinging scene...

This is so... Well... we all know how we felt during that scene. It was so full of sorrow for me. Yet another painful farewell... At least this time wasn't bloody... You managed to grasp the situation well.
Yet, I must confess - Lelouch didn't have such a 'sorry' eyes after kissing with her, but I suppose it was to make it even more painful for her...
Love your work. Always. Take your time deciding whether or not you'll make more 4komas. As for me - even if you end it now, with such scene... It's perfectly cool, though I'd be happy to see more of them.

killinger In reply to ??? [2008-09-10 16:24:22 +0000 UTC]
I'm guessing that this scene means that Lelouch has a death wish, so the writers had to put it in, just given how much they like to hurt Lelouch. Too bad the writers are so gay nothing between him and Kallen has panned out before now.

FoxxFireArt In reply to killinger [2008-09-10 19:14:17 +0000 UTC]
I don't know if it's a death wish per say, but it does look like what he has planned is dangerous. Otherwise why didn't he just forcibly Geass the council to get them to do what he wanted.

FoxxFireArt In reply to AzraeldiGabriel [2008-09-11 00:16:15 +0000 UTC]
Just read the comments. I name what each episode these 4komas are based upon.
"Refrain" is a drug from the series. It's a dangerous psychotropic drug that makes the user think they are reliving the happiest moments of your life. Kallen's mother fell victim to the drug. It's something very personal to her.
