I'm not quite satisfied with it ending on the unknown fate of Vicious so I'd like to make it longer, include the remaining scenes with Storm and Adamant before it ending. So it will be longer, but it may also be a bit late.

EDIT: Added some backgrounds! Only a few more pages to go! I have one more panel to add to page 2. Mouri brought up some really good points about the dialogue, so we changed quite a bit of it! Hopefully it makes more sense conversationally and matches the situation a lot better. And we feel like it hurts Hope's case a lot more, which we love. So thank you for that, Mouri! 

EDIT: Added 12, 13, and 14! Still gotta do shading of these pages and finish the background of page 1. Only a few more pages to go! We're added a scene that was going to be chapter 15, but we think it's short enough to include here, and would end on a higher note than if we ended it after the fight. This'll make it's publishing date a bit late I think, but I'm sure people will understand.

EDIT: Pages 15 and 16! Not sure about Storm's face in the third panel on page 16 but we'll see if I can come up with something better.

EDIT: Page 18! Well, mostly. That small cliff needs to be done. Maybe two more pages? Maybe three. Either way, it's gonna be late to publish, so here's what we have so far.

EDIT: Page 19! And some added shading, added some trees to page 12 (and gave Aggravating a protruding tooth cuz I only had one tooth showing in their last panel and decided last minute to make it a character trait). Added lighting to the evening scene.

EDIT: ALMOST DONE! Finished some of the lighting in the evening scene.

The scene with Jasper snapping at Vicious next about Adamant would be great to be included (and Jasper seething as he realized she's also might be gone), so I'm glad it might be longer. Also one suggestion, for page 2 from where vicious and careful are together to where clever is standing beside hope looks a bit of an awkward transition. Maybe possible having in the second panel one of those dash with Careful having a movement to run forward on the right of where vicious is?

I Hope So

I think I probably planned on doing that and forgot LOL Just the same Imma add it and see how it looks. Thank you! And yea that scene is still gonna happen for sure. I just think its a weird place to end a chapter, especially so close to the finale of this act.

Will we see what happens to this pride after Hope leaves?

It's super awesome to see these pages drawn up. I love Hope's angry faces and how she isn't taking her parent's shit. Poor Careful, watching from the sidelines. Also bonus points for drawing Hope roaring and not doing that wide open mouth roar you commonly see in lion media.

Also, I hate Vicious so much right now but I would be lying if I said I didn't like her design. It's very pleasing to the eye and you really capture that bitchy mother vibe from her.

I Hope So

THANK YOU, I noticed you did that too in your comic and I was like YESSS cuz c'mon everyone, stop referencing Lion King for your lion roars LOL And YES god it was hard coming up with so many variations of anger for this optimistic little ball of sunshine LOL I'm glad I could pull it off.

I Hope So

Thank you! I really enjoy her design too. I kinda wish I designed Careful to look more like her but oh well. Too late now LOL

Was Hope smacking Jasper around cut?

Ross

Also on page 2 she’s only standing on two legs in one of the drawings. A talented lass.

Mouri

It feels a little odd for Hope to be admitting openly, very loudly after running *from the scene* that she saw him and another lion (even going as far as to say the color *and* stick to it) and yet her mother just acts like she didn't say any of that? I get her mother is blind as hell but it feels really weird that even Hope's other aunt just isn't listening to her. She hasn't been one to call wolf, she hasn't gone after Jasper unless *he* went after her for another, and otherwise has been entirely devoted to the pride. I could be totally alone in this, but in my opinion it feels a little too unreal that none of the adults are listening to the cub that just came running- or the fact that "cacklers" could never cause wounds like the ones he has. I know Hope has to get a reason to leave, and I am absolutely not surprised that it's Clever's death that does it, I'm just surprised that neither of the adults show any verbal sign of questioning. I mean, Quiet *just* died, and Hope is throwing out that there was another lion and no one is listening. I'm gonna watch to see what happens of course but I am very confused.

I wouldn't be surprised if Vicious is aware of Edge, at the very least for killing Merry.

I Hope So

I meant to say this the other day, but you brought up really good points so we're actually reworking some of the dialogue to make it make more sense! Thank you for your input! But also to add but Careful isn't gonna fade into the background and not revisit Hope's accusations. She's just currently weighing her options and wondering whether to believe her or not. She also has her kids there and they're having to listen to these accusations that their half-sister and aunt are these traitors who tried to assassinate their dad so she just doesn't want them there. We're gonna revisit Careful too so that helps, we just can't right now because she's still uncertain and pacing

ShelaFox

That line drop of "Or Merry" just hits so hard. Especially after Vicious just dropped a bombshell on her, to hit back with a long hidden secret is just so powerful. Hope in general is just so in both their faces and I love that for her, standing up to her shitty abuse parents like that.

I Hope So

LOL she's actually standing on one leg! So super talented lass!

Ross

Ugh how cute would it be to have little doodles of clever caring for cubs in the sky when they mentioned her raising cubs.

Mouri

I think this makes a lot more sense now!! It's totally in Jasper's character to manipulate the situation- and it makes sense that Careful would want to take the cubs away. Amazing story telling :D

I Hope So

Thank you so much! You really helped us out there, so thank you again!

I Hope So

We'll show it at some point! Just gotta figure out where a good spot is

I Hope So

I'd love to add that if I have time to!

Vyse Vee

I really like the additional last few pages, really puts the whole scene of events together.

I Hope So

Thank you! Got a few more to go!

Ross

The scene of them all crying. I want to hug them all :(

Paige Bellerive

Are you kidding me?! Storm's face in the third panel is so cute and really conveys some nervousness 👀 plz keep

AnimalCrazy

I have SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS SO FAR But I’d like to wait for the full final - but I at least wanna mention I LOVE That Careful calls her ‘Hope’ ;A; Would love to know what she’s thinking now!

Vyse Vee

Whats that white square in the top center of page 10? Love seeing the progress of this amazing chapter!

I Hope So

Thank you!! And that's a glitch LOL It's fixed, I just forgot to update that page.

I Hope So

She thinkin Jasper ain't that great. AND THANK YOU I'm so close to finishing this LOL I can't contain

RabbityJoy

It's not like she can exactly leave with a bunch of cubs by herself either... But like her name, she's always Careful, and will take her time with her decision I bet!

AlfaFilly

This is so great me cryyy 😭😭 Also I just realized!! Hope is missing her face wounds on page two, second to last panel!!

I Hope So

OH SNAP thanks for telling me, that would've been awkward haha

Adge

I love how even though they were all ready to brainstorm, Hope was the one to ultimately choose her own name <3

I Hope So

YES I'm glad you noticed that because that was important to us

Catpod

I really love the way this ends 🥺

Ross

*thats* how you “reclaim” an ableist name
