rain call mechanisms

In pursuit of the true essence of beauty, love, and liberty.

[edgar-rain]

Hi, peaceful traveler! I’m glad you ended up here!

It’s already been a week since I started my journey on Tumblr… Honestly, it’s always a bit nerve-wracking to join new social media platforms. But I decided to go for it, and I hope I’ll be able to become part of our creative community!

A little about me:

My artistic pseudonym is rain call mechanisms. For short, people usually just call me Rain. My pronouns are he/him.

I’m 20+, I graduated from higher art education last year, and currently I work in a creative field as well (maybe sometimes I’ll share interesting things from my job).

I can talk endlessly about topics related to art (for me, it’s literally the meaning of life, and visual art in particular is the most precious thing in the world).

Boosty:

Édgar Rain - Artist & comic creator

Artist and comic creator. I create character-driven comics and illustrations, with a focus on atmosphere, emotion and storytelling. If you e

I deeply admire artists who aren’t afraid to experiment, who constantly improve, and who make our world filled with beauty, freedom, and love. After all, what makes a person human, if not their power to create?

At the moment, I mostly create fan works, because it heals my soul and heart, makes me happy, and keeps me mentally stable. Sharing my love for certain things, my thoughts and impressions with the world sounds like a good goal—and maybe someone will resonate with it.

Fandoms I’ll mostly be posting about:

Chainsaw Man

Identity V

Persona 5

Overall, you could say I’m a multifandom artist, although I do get periods of hyperfixation on certain themes.

Thank you for your attention!

[edgar-rain]

I've been following you because I reaaally like your IDV drawings (especially Norton), but the way you draw Chainsaw Man and P5 is so fun too!! I don't consume a lot of stuff about either piece of media, but I always open up your posts they're really interesting.

[edgar-rain]

*ominous sounds*

Don't mind me, I'm just hypnotising you into drawing Norton more

[edgar-rain]

Let's face it — we've all dreamed about this at some point...

[edgar-rain]

Hii Rain how are you doing? I hope you have a nice weekend!!

[edgar-rain]

Respectfully your akiangel art makes me wanna print it, crush the paper into fine powder and snort it

[edgar-rain]

hi edgar! I first want to say that your work is beautiful and it's a treat to see new art from you when you post.

I wanted to ask if you had any strong inspirations (such as a particular artist or art movement) when you first began doing art, and if you have any now?

[edgar-rain]

Your akiangel comic has me listening to Iris and gnawing on dry wall 🙏🙏

[edgar-rain]

I absolutely adore these two...))

[edgar-rain]

Part two… The story keeps growing deeper

To be continued...

Perhaps some of you have noticed a pattern of fresh akiangel content being posted every two weeks. I’ll continue trying to stick to this schedule, though sometimes I may have to shift the dates due to urgent matters and exhausting workdays. But for now — here it is, the newest fruit of my labor! Time to get started on part three ✨

heyyyy can I PERCHANCE just maybe include this interaction in my fic (Japanese Family Hayakawa on ao3) ?

@edgar-rain

[edgar-rain]

Yes, of course! Unfortunately, I’m not on AO3, but I’d be very interested in checking out your work. 🥹

And if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could you please include a link back to my blog as well?

[chimeraecopse]

Yes of course!! I will include link and shoutout in the chapter notes

Also I’m such a huge fan of your art!!!

[edgar-rain]

Thank you so much! It truly means a lot to me to know that you enjoy my work 😭🩵

And if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, I’d be very interested in reading your fanfiction sometime. Feel free to share it whenever you have the chance 🥹🥹🥹

Hey so sorry i forgot to get back to you on this one

here are a couple of my favorite akiangel interactions in it:

this is pretty much the entire seventh chapter except for some scenes with denji and reze 😭

but yeah i love writing them so much theyre just so fascinating to do character studies of

[edgar-rain]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

I could practically see everything unfolding right before my eyes, and I was completely captivated... I love the way these two spend time alone together, awkwardly talking about all those very human insecurities.

A little confession — I actually relate to Angel a lot here, and I completely understand his confusion about gender distinctions as well. Why do people divide each other by gender in the first place and assume that it's impossible to be attracted to certain people simply because they're... people? It's a mystery to me...

Either way, Aki will obviously have to come to terms with the fact that traditional views just aren't for him)))

[chimeraecopse]

Очень спасибооооо I LOVED writing the scene where Aki is stuttering over himself trying to justify his heterosexual worldview)))

Like what you said he'll "have to come to terms with the facts that traditional views just aren't for him" no they definitely aren't but he does NOT know that yet lol

[edgar-rain]

Oh my gosh, it's so sweet that you used Russian words — thank you so much!! 😭😭😭😭

To be honest, I can understand Japan's conservative tendencies quite well, because I literally live in a country where so-called "LGBT propaganda" is prohibited by law. That's why I'm especially drawn to conflicts like this — they carry a very real emotional weight and make for such a fascinating subject to explore.

For Aki, the collapse of the safe, familiar heterosexual worldview may be far greater and more complicated than it seems at first glance. That's one of the reasons I put so much emphasis in my comic on his inner turmoil and his desperate reluctance to fully acknowledge certain feelings for another man.

Not only does he find himself developing feelings for a man, but that man is also a devil — the very kind of being he's hated with all his heart for most of his life... He simply wasn't prepared for his entire worldview to change so drastically. And that's exactly what makes it so compelling to me.

I think your work captures that struggle beautifully as well. I'd love to see where this gradual breakdown of his convictions leads him next.

[snunkums]

Big hugs, a little lift, and a happy spin!

Wishing you a wonderful day and the best of moods, Nat✨ 🩵🩵🩵

Thank youuu, Rain!!! I wish you double! I hope you also have a wonderful day and the best of moods.

Giant hugs, a big lift, and a few happy spins!

🫶🏼❤️❤️

This is way too cute, I'm gonna die 😭😭😭

Call of the Abyss VII AU (Part 3)

This time I'd like to share a few sketches from my CoA VII AU, inspired by a wonderful fanfic written by a former friend of mine...

[edgar-rain]

Hi Rain!!!! :D How's your day going? Long time no see, huh.

(– @snunkums)

Hi, Nat. I'm very glad to hear from you.

It's a rather cruel irony, but today of all days I received some tragic news — my grandfather passed away, and his funeral will be held this weekend.

I don't think I've fully processed what happened yet, and I'm still in a bit of shock. However, this isn't the first great loss I've experienced, so I have a fairly good idea of what lies ahead.

I hope I'll be able to return to my usual routine before long. My scheduled posts will continue to go up while I take care of everything that needs my attention, but I'm no longer sure I'll be able to publish the next part of the comic on Monday...

I suppose I announced it a little too soon. Still, I hope I'll be able to finish it and share it with you all in the near future.

Thank you again for your concern, Nat. It truly means a great deal to me.
