Hiya, cakes!
Here's something that a lot of people wanted. It's one of the more ambitious scenes to do visuals for, but I think we can get it done ^^
It's the scene for Hiroko's first storyline, where she and Kyou follow through with their plans to do a stage show for the culture festival. We see Kyou talking, apparently in the middle of things, as he takes his volunteers deeper into trance before a captive audience. The participants are slowly revealed as we find out first Nozomi (of course) and then Hiroko herself are up there. Finally, Kyou gives Hiroko something fun to do for the people watching and then the show wraps up~
So depicting the thing is a bit of a challenge. But the first thing is to show everyone up on the "stage" (it's just the floor of their classroom). The image is intended to be double-sized for the purpose of having close-up shots showing the individual participants before revealing the main girls as they're mentioned and finally zooming out to show the whole thing. Also check out that smug jerk on the left. What a fraud!
Here's a variant of the same image, with Kyou's hands on Hiroko's shoulders while he's giving her instructions. Also wasn't intending to have Kyou look so sinister with that grin. I'll be making sure to get him a more neutral-looking smile for the finished image~
The second part of the scene, where Hiroko's off her seat and acting like a cat, is gonna have to come later, but I'm hopeful I can get something done for that too.
Anyway, please look forward to the revised scene and CG in the next early access release!
