Changes made! See? We sometimes listen to yall!

"Plug" removed! 🤣🤣🤣

Colors adjusted.

Hair tweaked.

We also made our own changes to:

Face shield

Claws

There remain some final small tweaks happening to the mask and claws, but we're 99% there now! Let us know what you think of the changes!

Also... It's about to be a busy Friday for you guys. No chapter, but this is the first of 3 different art pieces you're getting today, and the one coming at noon EST is small, but REALLY cool...

Even better then what I imagined

LeaphyMoon

Yo this is so sick! But somehow his right hand looks. .. off like it's too small compared to the angel the arm is going Edit, nevermind, must just be me cuz now it looks fine lol

Jeffrey V.

Damn! That looks gangster af! If I was a CAD fighter coming up against that without any heads up it would put me off my game

Simon

I like the changes and the pic is really really cool. What I noticed is that is right hand seems a bit small somehow? Maybe that's just me, though. The face mask threw me a little too because I see some of the skin of his forehead and started to wonder what shido is thinking only protecting part of the head. 😅

Vorsayo

Damn, that is sick! And the lighting overhead is so appropriate. Now I’m just damn curious what rank he is at the time of this scene now! Looks awesome!

Clayton Halle

Looks amazing! Double caked up on a Tuesday afternoon haha

Adam Miller

This looks super dope! Shame about the squat plug, how will Rei get mad gainz?

MandTeKad

Damn looking sharp

Gessen

Almost a full suit by the end of thissss, let's go!

Leo

Damn I didn't think I could love this any more but here we are

Mirah H

Look at our baby! He's growing up so fast 🥺 I really like the ponytail. It's sort of reminds me of the look of Ronin. So it's gives a sort of nod to Rei's heritage which I really like

PaulBFB

Oh wow this is REALLY cool! I love the face shield 🤩 Btw kinda minor but the gap between hairline and face shield looks a bit odd... Overall awesome though! Pony tail is much better, almost like Rei is starting to embrace his samurai heritage

Rusty Barnes

Looks great! Although, unless there's a change for us in this book during one or more evolutions the middle claw should be a bit longer than the others

kirbydabear

Imagine being a pretty solid C-ranked first-year, being stoked for sectionals, and your first match is against this small skinny dude who already has full body armor and a face plate.

Reaperess

Zoom in on the ponytail. The straps aren't connected to Rei at all. Unless that's the intention 👀

Dewald Slabbert

I’d love to see him from the front. The way his eyes are covered looks very interesting

Dennis

sweet I like the change to the mask

Joe Barzilai

Amazing changes. I couldn't unsee the plug in the last edit but I was afraid to say anything lol. 😂

Joanne Hans

Hot Dam !!, that looks nice.

Francis

I'm so glad you liked my ponytail suggestion ☺️. Seems like people are reacting positively to it.

Francis

How can a short guy look that intimidating?! This art is just so awesome I'm freaking out. BTW, I don't get the fans who can only show their enthusiasm through micro-analysis and criticism..

Tad

*sniff* it it's beautiful

Alexander Raddler

I think it's meant to be tied and trailing. It's the hair tie he borrowed from Viv so not connected to the CAD itself

Heather Herren

This looks awesome but I can see viv and aria talking about haircuts in the background

Will Pembo

Ohh I thought it was supposed to be apart of the crown thing he has

Joanne Hans

To tell the truth, I liked both. I didn't mind the armor on the first , maybe because I listen to BDSM books too. lol

RudyB

Ponytail good. Mask awesome. Excitement building!

Wraithmarked Creative

Lol! Joanne's gonna be getting a different impression if Aria every says "Yes, sir" with a wink at Rei hahaha

Simon

I noticed it too. Only it still doesn't look quite right to me.

Simon

I mean I thought this was posted at least partly to get feedback - unlike the regular chapters. So if it's amazing already, there are likely only small things that ppl mention.

Pyritepillager

The fist I thought was pretty amazing but this blows it out of the water.

Matthew Randall

The middle claw should be 50% longer than the other two I think

Corwin

I like the ponytail but thinking a topknot might be better. Long hair sucks when it whips into your face. But I think the cover really is a tribute to Rei having an ass. I mean it's like dead center and it looks very good 😆 🤣 😂

Adam

His right hand looks thinner than his left (to me, anyway), but I think it's just a perspective thing. His right hand just has the top knuckle folded down, while his left hand is in a full fist. At the same time, we're looking at the back of his right hand and the front of his left.

Shannon Bryce

I think this is one picture where everyone immediately zoomed in on the butt "to make sure that everything was right" lol I do think the hair style is very feminine though with the loose hair framing the face. Even with that it looks awesome

Salix

Looks great, I especially like the change to the face shield, it's more skintight than my headcanon, but it fits with the style of the first cover :P. I would agree with some people that top knot could be better. It would be a great nod to Ray's heritage, but I'm not sure how it would look. If you can get a mock-up (doesn't have to be detailed) it would be great. To address the point about the figure looking like a woman. If I didn't know anything about the books and had to place a bet, it would be that it's a woman. The pose is unisex, but the long hair would signal that it's a woman. In my opinion, it does not matter, because it's a second volume. If it was the first volume I would be worried that someone would pick it up thinking it's about a female protagonist. But anybody who read the first book knows it's Ray. Maybe a SPOILER ↯ So the series is called Stormweaver, he is named after a god of lighting and now we have lighting around Ray's claws. Hmm...🤔

Jeremy Clark

Is it just me or dose it look like the gauntlets are reinforcing his fists with lightning

Joanne Hans

I would love seeing the book 3 cover of Rei in the air coming down on his opponent, a dynamic pose on the cover would be awesome.

Josh Wilson

I love the art. But I have a question. In this and the post card we got, who are the enemies? They don't look like other CAD users.

Lyn Shirley

I know the hair is more accurate tied back but I loved it down. It looked sexy. I imagined the storm whipping it around his head but always staying out of his eyes, after all Shido wants Rei to be lethal.

David Bean

Isn’t Shido supposed to be ice blue on black and white?

Connor Melehan

Aria was right. Rei needs a haircut 😂

Gama

Did I scroll down 9months worth to see what the latest chapter looks like? Yes Was it worth it? Abso-fucking-lutely. This art is dope as hell and the series is coming along awesomely! You're doing an awesome job Bryce and everyone behind the scenes!
