Artistic Execution
- MyAnimeList (manga/light novels)
- Baka-Updates Manga (for doujinshi)
- FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own (if it’s fan work)
- Pixiv (if it’s original art/story by a Japanese creator)
- The Shadow Line (手書き): Kurokagerar begins with sumi-e ink on handmade washi paper, drawing the "shadow" of the angel—what the angel is not.
- The Diffusion Specter: Using a custom-trained AI model (dubbed "KageNet" ), the ink shadows are fed through a latent diffusion process that fills the negative space with "hallucinated sacred geometry."
- The Mortal Touch: Finally, Kurokagerar manually paints over the AI output with oil brushes in Photoshop, adding "faults"—tears, smudges, misalignments. These faults are said to be the only evidence of the angel's free will.
