And finally, Kylie regains use of her Lethiace. Surprise! Seems like not many people realised that was what the last page meant, hahaha. XD Kylie is casting something here that Seia cast on this page. She's charging her weapon with the ice element, which is what Seia did before he hit Ophelia with the Thousand Needles attack. Just some fun trivia for you~ XD;
Anyway, this seems like a good place to end the chapter but we still have some way to go, though we're definitely over the halfway mark. I hope you guys have been enjoying it so far, but we have some other crazy stuff coming up before it's done! :)
Thanks for being patient with today's double-page update taking some time. I have a steady connection again, though sometimes it ebbs and flows so please don't mind me if I don't keep up with comments for whatever reason. OTL;; I hope you guys have a great Friday, and a fantastic weekend to follow! I'll catch you lovely readers again on Monday! <3
Hey guys, a notice regarding Monday's update: sorry, it's official, I'm taking a break from today's update. I'll hopefully be able to make up for today's missed update on a later date. Sorry!!
Reasons are multiple; for one thing, I've had boring legal stuff to do the past week or so (since I've been outside of HK), it's been a little trying adjusting to a different environment from my usual drawing desk for such an extended period of time, yada yada. But most of the reason is because I just haven't had the time to plan the rest of Chapter Six fluidly so I keep braking between pages with abrupt and jerky halts in order to hurriedly plan and thumbnail a few pages in advance. Normally, like I did with Chapter 4 and 5, I thumbnail around 30 to 50 pages in advance and work from that, but currently Chapter 6 is going off bursts of tiny amounts of planning without me being able to coast. This has honestly been one of the most stressful chapters I've had to work on purely because of this problem.
Anyway, so as to stop boring you guys with this long and detailed post about why I need to be a pansy and take a break, let me just state that I do apologise for not having a page up today but the break will hopefully ensure I won't take any more random breaks hereafter. Wish me luck for planning the rest of this chapter! And as always, thank you for your patience and understanding. :)
Yeahhhh! :D I was happy to get to this page finally so we could see her wielding it again - it's going to be important for later chapters (obviously XD) <3
Oooooohhhhh yay Kylie you did it!!! *celebrates the return of Lethiace* Lookit that super happy proud smile, that's just too beautiful *wipes tear from eye*
This whole page is just aaaahhh <3 The memories flashing, the magicky Ice Breath... it's all so awesome! :D
Yayyyy <3 :D Rare smile, get! Lolol, might be more of a common grin from hereonout depending <3
Thankyew so much Cici-muffin for all the encouragement and love and kind and encouraging words <333 *huggles* this page took a while to do so always good to know it works :'D
Take as long as you need for a break! Like you said, this seems like a good place to end the chapter, and it is a good note, so it's not like you left us on a cliffhanger (like what happened with Seia... *cough, cough*).
...But whether this is the end of the chapter, and you take a week off, or just a great "mini-ending" in the story, and you need a few days in order to collect your thoughts... know that we are still your loyal readers and we will forever offer you loads of hugs and motivation. :3
Lol! Thanks so much, Digi!! I really, really appreciate your comments and thoughts on the comic and the chapter :) *takes all the hugs and motivation <333*
There's a lot to still get done within this chapter, but we're over the halfway mark for sure - hopefully the rest will come out smoothly, thanks to the break. <3
I could GIF that thing so the shine fades from her eyes, the shading gets all 'flashlight-from-under-the-chin' and the colours all change to crimson shades to accommodate that ;D
And kinda appropriate, seeing it's Halloween and such. (You wouldn't have believed the amount of more or less Halloween themed cosplayers we've seen in the city this evening. Especially but not only around Shibuya. Heck, we went for a beer after dinner and the two blokes serving at the bar were dressed one as a member of the Survey Corps from Shingeki no Kyojin, the other as Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service.)
*hugs* Thankyew Mjkj, I really appreciate it! <3 You are the best <33
I think I managed to use the time to plan things out properly for the most part. I might consider taking proper time to plan Chapter Seven out after Chapter Six is over - not going to take my chances again >_>a
Wow such a significant moment for Kylie! For the first time she's able to just accept what had happened and move forward... I look forward to how she's going to grow from this moment on!! As if she wasn't ALREADY threatening enough ;P
No need to be sorry. It was meant as an encouragement!
Of course that should not stop you from trying to not do it again. ;)
But if you're going to do it, doing so at a point where there's not a lot of suspense or action going on yet, where it's relatively calm is certainly better than creating some cliffhanger of the worst kind. That's what I meant.
Sounds like you could use a 2 week break from posting comics. take that time to make more and give yourself a buffer. as long as you let your readers know what's happening i'm sure they will support you.
Thank you dawndemonica :) honestly if I took 2 weeks off, I'm not sure I'd have used it fruitfully enough - I always get so rusty after long breaks, too! @_@
But for sure I'll keep in mind that letting readers know what's happening is important. Hopefully this week hasn't been too much of radio silence >_< I know not everyone sees SF's Twitter or FB feed!
<3 Thankyew Nef, I'm really glad you enjoyed this update! :) It was an important milestone to hit in the comic so I'm happy that last panel hit home <333
"You've got...ICE POWER!"
Heh. That smile on Kylie's face in the last panel. XD
It's the first time in the entire comic Kylie smiles like that, I had fun drawing it~! :D

Yes, choco. How could I forget? XD

Especially since this double-page ended up having to tide people over for the next two updates :'D lol sigh...
No more freezing everything around ^^'
Awesome page. It's also super good to see Kylie smile again.
Thanks muchas Outlaw, I appreciate it loads! :) I'm also happy to be able to draw a happy Kylie XD; <3
Hopefully Madou is watching somewhere, being the lovable stalker he is~
Yaaaaayyyy! Kylies badassness went up like 50x!:D
Hahaha, Nemi's excitement cracks me up, too cute~ <3
Super happy you find everything cute and dandy <333

And yesh, Kylie's big happy grin ;D
*v* Ahhhhhhhh~
And yessss she's smiling and yay! :D <3 Thankyew Spellu, so happy you find it great <3 X3 <33
"And now I'm going to kill you all."

*cheers*
*cheers together* :D
Why would you say that?
.......
*runs*
No update... *sniffs*
Ok, seriously now: Rufi take care of yourself and if you need the break then enjoy it *hugs*
See you next update then :) ;)
PS: Good luck for your plannings...
I think I managed to use the time to plan things out properly for the most part. I might consider taking proper time to plan Chapter Seven out after Chapter Six is over - not going to take my chances again >_>a
She's definitely moving forward or at least trying to from now on, which is a plus for her growth rate yesh :D <33
Now her killer stare won't just feel icy... it'll be literally icy ;D
Of course that should not stop you from trying to not do it again. ;)

A comic of this caliber is worth being a little patient.
Now you know I'm never letting go, right? Lolol XD <333
