Is it because of the Thick As A Brick quote?

I felt that too, as if by pure luck, somehow 8's body would be shielded from the rest of fire.

I actually meant where you wrote that 9 pulling 8 symbolizes the weight of his past.

Glad we have fanfiction for that.

My best answer to that question would be.... I'm not sure.. I guess as I read to story I can just envision whats going on as I'm reading. Thanks again. 8 isn't the easiest for me to draw. Big characters, buff/fat/whatever are always tricky and not always my favorite when it comes to drawing them. I had 8 facing down to avoid showing his eyes mainly, as that is what I'm doing with all of the dead rag-dolls. Keeping their eyes hidden.

As for what I have next, still focuses on chapter four, but the best part of chapter five will be coming.
(It's the break-down scene isn't it?)

8 is the most difficult for me to get right, too (right behind our beloved 2). Its their darn faces that always throw me off, haha. But I noticed you were doing that, keeping all their eyes hidden from view. I thought that was incredibly clever - really showing how lifeless they are and how lonely the remaining four are. So I'm guessing when they actually come back to life, its going to be a wonderful reveal? Oh man, I cannot wait to see what you have planned in that ingenious mind of yours! 

And yes, I will admit XD and its because that is one of the chapters that was the most difficult to write. All of the previous drafts I had made 9 too....well, emo, for lack of a better term. He as being far to melodramatic and wanting to die and wanting attention and yadda yadda yadda, so to finally get it right sets this chapter as one of my favorites, especially that scene. I can't wait to see how you depict it!

Oh gosh... 2 is a mess. I swear to scientist who made him was either really experimenting on design or he just didn't have a whole lot of material with him at the time and just made what, he had. Either way I always have to look up reference whenever I'm drawing him, which there isn't enough of, so then I have to look up fan-art of him....And when I do... Let's just say there are somethings in this world better left unseen....   

I think your end result for that one was well done. He didn't come off as emo to me. The pain he was feeling was understandable since he did lose most of his group and feeling the guilt for that. Plus a lot of that was on his first day. What an awful way to start out on life. Poor little guy...

LOL Poor fellow is indeed a mess. But he does have such a badass bowtie. In all honesty I really love his design - he does indeed look like a resilient little old man who won't let physical handicaps stop him, but god damn he is so hard to draw. Its probably his lack of a chin that makes it so difficult. And about that fanart part, it is hard indeed to find ones that aren't putting him in....certain lights (I just screencap him from my digital copy of the film....which may or may not be legal...  .) 

Awe, thank you. It was super hard to get 9 in-character for this scene, and to see it in drawn form is going to be such a privilege. It is a huge privilege to have someone illustrate a story of mine - and a fantastic artist to boot!

I don't find anything wrong with his designs, it's just tricky to get right. His head kinda reminds me of a turtle's for some season. 

Sure thing. At least you are staying true to character unlike SOME other fan-fic writers out there. Which is what I like about your story the most. I still have 1, 5, and the cliff scene with 6 to go, but I did finish the sketch drawing for it.

Oh my lord, it DOES! That just makes him, like, ten times cuter. 

And yes, that always annoys me - when characters are thrown horrifically out of context. I know fanfiction gives you creative freedom and you're the writer, but there's still a level of respect that should be taken when writing about someone else's creation. What do I know though. (And you're doing everyone? That's so cool!) And you're doing the ENTIRE story? Whoa...that's quite a feat! And something I could never be able to thank you for - the ones you've already done have floored me.

I feel if your gonna do a fan-fic, you at least have to know who the characters are and how to right them. You can still add new things about them, they just need to fit. A lot of fans just don't do that. Which can get very irritating, especially when they have a poorly written OC thrown in there.. But I think you did well with this, and I'm happy to be doing the images for them. Heads up the next one is on it's way.

My thoughts exactly. And I cannot wait to see what you have in store next. There are some scenes I am so excited to see, I can barely hide my excitement. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT
