Chapter Seven Sneak Peaks, Progress, and Discussion

[Nekomata]

That cover sketch looks awesome. Can't wait to see the final thing!

Thank you! I can't wait to get back into production! I'm more motivated when I'm closer to something I can share with the world. xD Scripting is just so far off from that sometimes...

... BUUUUT. I'M DONE SCRIPTING. It only took me all night. xD I misjudged how long some scenes would take, so I had to clip out a few minor things. I'm trying to be better about pacing- if I don't cut out some unnecessary stuff, this story arc would take forever- and I think it's time I draw it to a close! I'd have liked to give some characters more panel time in this chapter, but in the end, it just wasn't possible! I don't have time to focus on every character's fight in this chapter. I feel so bad neglecting Talon/Mist in this arc- I'll be working on that more in the near future! Hoping to get them more love starting in Ch. 8.

Is it bad that I have so much attention to the flame guard (most notably Bern, and soon- another)? I do plan for some of them to be recurring characters, but I do feel that they were far more prominent than Talon/Mist- two actual main characters. Ah, well. It's a learning process. And when I get to remaking older pages, I can try to squeeze some extra scenes in. I'm expecting to be able to condense some scenes into a fewer pages. That should open room to add in stuff. I don't plan on changing anything major though.
