This makes me think of the communist times for some reason...maybe it's because of the red they are wearing; communists once wore red bands around their arms. And the commanding way he gestures...if I remember right, back at that time, foreigners weren't really welcomed. I do fear for Kino..
I like that look that Kino has; always trying not to care too much, to treat it like just a passing traveller... which
she is! I like the painting...the ray effect; I just found out recently how to create that on Photoshop when I was
making a tut for a friend. Surprisingly easy...but I doubt I will ever have enough opportunity to use it. Always love
the colours; as if the world has been misted and softened...and the perspective os good too...
Smoke rising, drifting upwards; is it from a fire or the carnage of war? I wish I could read the kanji; *tries to read
it like Chinese* "Summer's sun. Hills' ......water.., woods...life(?)/activity(?)...........count(...)
nah, give up! I can't read it...T.T As you can see, my Chinese is not too good either...
I've always liked the art style of Kino no Tabi. I've only watched the anime before (sigh). But I try to take a look at some of the manga scans about... I can see where you got your painting style from.
I talk a bit much, don't I? :P When I see something I really like, this is what happens...at least online.
I hope you can reply me or something!
See you when I do!
