I'm not sure if the "vicious beast" gag worked very well. Eh. Anyway, this page reestablishes animals' general hatred of Ronnie (and vice versa). It's a trait that I accidentally started with Puck (at the time, the dog was just a plot device), but now it's another detail for the Ronnie = Tristan's foil design.

I wasn't sure how to approach the second line. I wanted it to be longer, but had to condense it to fit. Basically, Celes is the meekest character in this story and the biggest coward. I had Raidon say she "won't snoop," but even if she knows anything, she wouldn't dare do anything about it.

Warpedwenger: My minor characters tend to become major characters, so when I don't think about them, I end up shooting myself in the foot. (It happened with Mike and Celes, so now, I am much more aware of all the characters.)

ghostrunner: Yep XD

Kristen: I used to need photo references to draw hands, which I only used for close-ups. Now, I can usually visualize them and draw without references. (I still get lazy, though, and find ways to avoid drawing them. :-/ )

Peipei: In general, Raidon is a very generous guy. He only resorts to threats if diplomacy doesn't get him what he wants.

n_y_japlander: Raidon's a nice guy.It really is better to work for him than against him.

LanceDanger: XD

patrick: Thanks. I had fun designing her outfit. I figured Raidon would have his staff dressed sharply.

trevor: In Raidon's case, it is just to prevent her from encountering Fudo. They are a volatile mixture.

Jonko: I like Celes's design too. ^_^ I originally created the little mole so she could be identified when under a hooded cloak.

amanda: Indeed. Raidon's confidence is well-founded, and that is a bit disconcerting.

JustNoPoint: Pssht. Love has nothing to do with it. Color didn't exist back then. ~_^ Actually, I once asked my mom why people dressed in such bright, loud colors in the 70's. She told me that those colors didn't exist previously. XD

dueeast: Lol. It wasn't his pattern of speech that bothered me (that's just how he is), it was the order of dialogue. But no one else seemed bothered by that, so I guess it's okay.
