Description S/O to , and for being such rad beta-readers.

So after many days and nights of crying and procrastinating on my responsibilities, I've finally finished this update.
I changed Gary's palette and design a bit, and we reveal yet another battle form!
And who are the Rocketeers? They sound fishy. What kind of political civil rights group wears an outfit like THAT?! More on Gary's side of the story later.
....I can already see it now. The Clary shippers rise from the ashes of like, the 4th update, chanting their shipping mantra. Oh Clare, why did you punch him in the face like that?! You know he's a sensitive boy.
Then we get to meet Virgil, the spoiled young Charmander who has never worked an honest day in his life. More on him later, if we even get that, because it looks like he's gotten himself into some trouble...

We are slowly approaching the end of the first Quarter of Clare's Story. Thanks for sticking around!

I also tried playing with the light sourcing in this update. It was a bit difficult, but I think I did it right! Hollah at me if you see inconsistent art styles~ Hollah at me if you see all the half-assed backgrounds. Yeyeeee.

When will the next update be? I honestly have no idea, but if I suddenly gain a new perspective on this comic and favor speedy updates, it may be almost completely in black and white.

Manga Studio gets easier to use the more you use it. I haven't opened Photoshop up in nearly two months! While each program is great, Manga Studio 5 really does what it says it will do. It's a light enough program that this monstrosity of an update resulted in less than a quarter of the lag and heat my laptop would produced when being worked on in Photoshop. The only issues I 've had with lagging were when I was attempting to use it during my last stream. Also, it sure is nice to be able to use stabilizers again.

I would have shocked Gary for joining team Rocket (not even subtle here) if Clare wasn't a dunce for forgetting thunder shock.

Holla at the inconsistent art styles and "half-assed" backgrounds~ (But the backgrounds aren't bad at all! They did what they were supposed to do; let us know they're on a ship so...) 

I slept at around 4am yesterday, saw this update at 8ish, woke the hell up, read it without processing anything and went back to sleep. The fact that I actually tried to read it while my brain was still sleeping means you're probably doing something right. XD

And now that I'm actually alive I have to say that other than VIRGILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOMGBESTINTROEVAR I'm interested in Clare's manifest... and actually all the gijinka manifests because it looks like they'll be characters in their own right. 

Also, by the looks of those vines, the Ivysaur lady's going to be in the next update, methinks... about time the starters appeared! ;D

Whenever Clare punches Gary, I imagine their expressions to be veeery similar to that of Gary's in the 11th panel...

I really can't wait to show how Virgil develops. He's one of my favorite characters that I've created.

Daw, tiny Clare is so cute, and is that a small hint of a stubble I spot on Gary's chin? He is becoming a man! Although joining the rocketeers don't sound like a good idea, if this story goes like the game where you face off against the team I wonder how their friendship will go, seems pretty turbulent already.

This whole page is gorgeous. I especially like the backgrounds, they're there but they don't take away from the characters.
