That’s… that’s quite a scar. And it took me a few to notice the military insignia on her shoulder. Palantine legion? Crossed keys? Sounds… papal.
Love the 20’s style, too.
I don’t tell you often enough, but you’re incredibly gifted with this whole creating-a-whole-mood-of-place-and-era-with-just-a-few-cues thing. I never saw Midlands, but it was wonderfully done in Heliothaumic, and even in the brief but beloved Water Clock. It’s one of the (many) things that keeps bringing me back!
Thank you.
Is Kiyohara bi in this universe? Interesting.
Xiping was in one of RMG’s previous comics, right? I think that scar looks familiar.
She was in the short-lived Midlands spin-off Empire Song, but she didn’t have the scar in that. She was also on the very last page of Heliothaumic ever. :V
Not that any of that is particularly relevant to this version of Xiping.
It’s Kei’s scar!
How do you pronounce Xiping? like Zipping? or chiping?
Shzee-ping. Sort of half way between sh and zh. Equal accent on the syllables.
