Thank you! I struggled a lot on deciding how to portray this scene. Part of my hiatus from a while back (when I got frustrated with people complaining about PRS) was because I was frustrated and didn't want to work on this page until I could get a clear head and work at 100%. I'm not one to draw emotional scenes often, so I wanted to get it right. I think I did better than I thought I would, so I'm happy.

And bless the charmander line and their fire tails. Seriously, that helped so much for adding the mood- and gave me an warm colored light source to work with in contrast to the cool blues of the night. I was worried about the lighting until I remembered I could use Bern's tail as a main focal point. Other ideas involved having the fire from the battle spread, but story-wise that didn't make much sense to me. Aaaaah. I'm glad people like that last panel though. <3

Thankfully the next page won't have as many delicate scenes. Lots of emotion, just none I need to be this careful with. I do fear the action scenes that are coming up though. The first few thumbnails alone have me worried. RIP Neko.

Chapter EIGHT on the other hand will have some more sad in it. Neko, why do you do this to yourself?

Anyway, for Ch. 7 progress, predictions, etc. - feel free to check out the sneakpeak thread.
