Sorry for the week's delay updating this monster. XD We've pushed through a mountain of other obligations to bring this page one way or another before we settle in for our annual holiday hiatus. We'll be back January 11th with more comics and (if we're lucky) some more promo art. :D

Now, moving on to my comments about Jenen. He was born from his name. Yeah, it's true. When I was trying to conceive of a secondary character for Key, I started brainstorming names and came up with "Jenen." Then I sat there and pondered whether it was a boy's name or a girl's name. From that ponderous venture came this idea: Maybe I'll just make an androgynous character whose gender is confused by everyone. And so, Jenen came to be -- a male character suffering from the constant assumptions of others that he's a girl. It started very young in his life, despite the fact that his people have two distinguishing traits: females have brown hair and males have black hair. He was always teased regardless.

Beyond that, I can say little, seeing as his past and motivations are not yet revealed. I'll talk more about his psyche in later comments.

Miko: Jenen suffers in life, so he passes that onto me, as the artist who makes him... well, pretty. See, this is how it works: When I draw him, I start as I would Crenen, or Lon (not Menen, that's a whole other ball of wax) and then, once I have him sketched to my satisfaction I then have to make little changes - meaning, I make him more effeminate. Fuller lips, sharper eyes, more pronounced cheekbones... you get the idea. You can imagine how difficult he likes to make the whole process, given what I am doing to him...

His clothes are another issue. I designed them to be easy to draw....... but they're NOT. Why?? --;
