~A Post-Creation Discussion by the "Gensou no Mori" Team~
Genmu: "This time, we swapped the Flame Demon and the Ice Demon! Your Flame Demon is so sexy, Yanase-san~"
Yanase: "Huh? You think 'your' Ice Demon is the sexy one? (lol)"
Genmu: "Well, she’s completely stark naked, after all! (LOL)"
Yanase: "‘Pon-da, pon-da!’ (as Gakkun would say) (…whatever that means!)"
Genmu: "One thing I regret is that I couldn't quite capture the sheer splendor of your Ice Demon, Yanase-san.
Personally, I wanted to bring out more of that bewitching, mysterious beauty."
Yanase: "…Well, the lack of wings, for starters… 'mumble' (lol)"
Genmu: "Oh, shoot… (sweat)"
Yanase: "As for me, my human anatomy drawing is always something I end up regretting, it’s practically a given! (lol)" "This time, I made a mistake in how I drew the outfit, it ended up making the buttocks look saggy! (sob)"
Genmu: "Well, a lifted-looking bottom is important, after all! (lol)"
Yanase: "Can't skip those exercises! (mysterious wink)"
Genmu: "I think it turned out okay, I managed to capture at least a bit of that 'transparency' you see in ice."
Yanase: "The snowflakes are absolutely beautiful! How did you draw them??"
Genmu: "I looked at some reference material, drew just the right side, and then flipped it horizontally! (lol)"
Yanase: "...Aha!!! (lol) I wonder if I managed to convey the 'flame' motif through the fabric... Though, I relied a bit too much on Photoshop for the background (oops)."
Genmu: "Your 'Flame Demon' character has a great sense of movement, it looks really good."
Yanase: "Thank you so much! (T_T)"
