■ Illustration by Chaykov, Ginga Hakata: Ruby Evening View, illustrated by Chaykov.

**Chaykov's Commentary:**

"This illustration, titled 'Galactic Hakata: Ruby-Colored Evening Sky,' captures Kircheis looking up at the flagship Barbarossa from the central stage of Canal City Hakata. Against the vivid ruby hues of Hakata's tranquil evening, I sought to depict the coexistence of passion and serenity within Kircheis.

About Illustrator Chaykov:
An illustrator known for detailed artwork, focusing on the landscapes of Tokyo. The connection with the animation industry began in 2016 when they created the key visual for Production I.G's official store, 'I.G Store.'
