Impish Crow X RUBIA Leopard vol.1 Type: IC&RL | Exclusive Interview ③


QUESTION 3 Who are the best and worst painters?


TSUGUMI: Hibarin has the most artistic taste here! Hands down!

AKANE: Come again?

TOKI: From the flyers ever since our indie debut to the merchandising, all the designs from Hibari.

HIBARI: Well, it is but simple designing, and I am far from creating masterpieces. That being said, Mitsuru and Tsugu-chan are pretty skilled when it comes to small illustrations and logos.

MITSURU: I can’t draw anything too elaborate, but it’s fun so I quite like it.

TSUGUMI: So do I !

MASHIRO: For indies to be self-produced, you all are pretty determined.

TOKI: Honestly, Hibari was a huge help.

HAIJI: That sounds so nice. I’d love to see his work.

MASHIRO: Speaking of which, don’t you draw a bit too, Haiji? That mascot thingy.

HAIJI: Ah, indeed. I do get away with it.

AKANE: Back in the days, Kurono used to draw 'n even won some sorta prize for his landscape paintings, ain't that right?

HAIJI: Oh? That’s impressive!

KURONO: I'm pretty sure it was in elementary or middle school. I barely draw anymore.

MASHIRO: I didn’t do too bad in school’s art classes either, though I hardly doodle a thing now.

KURONO: Back in RUBIA’s days, we sometimes used pictures Akane took for our visuals.

AKANE: It was a pain in the ass to give explanations for each and every single concept, so...

HAIJI: If I’m not mistaken, you still write idea proposals, right?

AKANE: Yeah, from album concept drafts to ideas for live set-ups, that kinda thing. For the record, don’t ask me how to draw, I just don't.

MASHIRO: Don’t say that. I’m pretty sure you do just fine.

AKANE: Dun' get me wrong, I ain't tryna play humble.

MASHIRO: If you say so… Kurono, what’s the catch here?

KURONO: … Let’s say that Akane-san’s drawings are very… Unique.

MASHIRO: What, wait, why are you looking away?

TSUGUMI: You, of all people, suck that much at something a kid would do!?

AKANE: Go ahead and see for yourself. Not gonna be an artiste anyway.

TOKI: Oh. Oh, I see.

MASHIRO: …What are you all even yapping ab—

HIBARI: I advise you not to look—for your sake.
