This is a particularly personal page for me. It was the first one that I did digitally when I bought Clip Studio (then Manga Studio). This is the “why.” Nightstik is a send up of a certain type of hero, but he lacked a motivation. He is an orphan like so many other heroes, but he never knew his parents. And he has no uncle to let down. Deep down, he wants to be a villain. It is Arnold, a child, who believes that Nightstik can be better that motivates Nightstik to embrace being a hero.
