My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: I wonder how intensely Powree cursed me when I gave her time-consuming tasks such as drawing a densely packed crowd. I guess that an artist without intense self-discipline would avoid drawing such scenes if [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The waitress looks too similar to Viviana. But then again, in real life, people with similar facial structures also tend to get similar hair styles. I had the same smile on my face as [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Note how there's already a little hole through Eldor's illusion to the left of Lilith's forefinger in the first panel.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Eldor wouldn't have actually killed Lilith's friends since he would have lost most of his leverage against her this way.
