First of several background for Kalos Chronicles I’ll be uploading to stem the wait as I finish the pages for the finale. Including commentary about the process and creation of each chapter. So without further delay...
Originally, Kalos Chronicles started as a stand alone story with no real long term plot in mind. That changed with the inclusions of Genesect in the Aura Break prologue splash. It was included to create a reason Ridley would have to “battle” Zygarde (i.e becoming confused from Genesect’s Signal Beam and going berserk). And from that, a reason for a Genesect to be Kalos needed to made. With that, the early ideas for Kalos Chronicles were born.
This background is really the only one I could get off the original work. After chapter one, it became clear I needed a better way to construct backgrounds in my comics. So from Chapter 2 onward, all comic backgrounds are made before anything else.
Honestly, it seems to have held up visually well in spite of my improvement over the year and a half. Really it’s the only part of that chapter that has. XD
