    OMG I love it! Are you going to adapt all the previous chapters to this new style( the current style of chapter 15, isn't?)? Because if so, it's gonna be amazing. I have chills just with the new beginning, I can't wait to see the entire story until this point with this upgrade :D
    BTW I LOVE the new outfits, so detailed and beautiful, Aurora's dress looks gorgeous!

    Question: does Zombie-Philip love Aurora as his human self did, albeit in a more twisted way (since he's trying to kill and emotionally abuse her at the same time), or is he just an undead, sociopathic husk of the man he once was without emotions or a heart?

    Pretty tragic, either way. I can't help but feel that if Aurora were to move on and find happiness with someone else (even if she may or may not be carrying Philip's child), Philip needs to be out of her life for good, even if already dead. But who knows???

    So will this be the final version? I've noticed that the English has really improved but there are a few minor tidbits I might make. I mean no disrespect at all, because I highly value your work and know how difficult it can be to bilingual. But if this is going to be the final version, I wonder if I might make a few suggestions on the English wording just to polish it up to 100%. I really hope you don't take offense, because I mean none, and please tell me if I am stepping out of line.

    On the fourth page...

    "But in the deepest [part] of your heart"

    "You know that you are not [being] honest with yourself"

    "[Being left with] just a heavy feeling of loneliness and leaving"

      Tremaine has nothing to do with Grimhilde, they haven't said one word to each other (Grimhilde doesn't seem someone kind or social). Maleficent doesn't care about Grimhilde, she has her own problems. Besides, most of the villains don't get along, just look at Ursula and Berthalda ;). This may sound kind of weird but Carmilla didn't want Rosie died, she did everything she can to try to save her ;)...

      Hmm that's super interesting, because I had the feeling from all of Carmilla and Rosie's interactions that she was just using and manipulating Rosie for her own personal gain. So that's interesting that Carmilla really cared about Rosie.

      Anyway, that's not the usual model of Aurora, that model has different eye shapes, nose, lips... The aurora that we draw is not the ''awaken aurora'' but the ''standard one'', and that version has always purple eyes, even in the original Cels, it's not a new thing of the franchise:

    Wow the queen looks gorgeous. I am almost jealous that Aurora doesn't get to wear that beautiful dress.

    A few more corrections on grammar here.

    "You've been having those nightmares again, right?" sounds a little informal for a queen. The last word anyway. Maybe instead she would say "You've been having those nightmares again, haven't you?"

    "...since he left [to] that battle"
    "...since he left for that battle"

    "...[me and your father always were] thinking"
    "...your father and I were always thinking"

    "And that's [how] you have to be patient"
    "And that's why you have to be patient"

    Also Phillip is the proper spelling, at least in the Disney version. He was named after Philip, true, but Disney always spelled it with two l's.

      I'm quite excited to see your version of Rapunzel and The Snow Queen(s).
      To be honest, I love Tangled, I really do. I relate a lot to Rapunzel and think Flynn/Eugene is funny and sweet, but I've always liked the original fairytale and how the protagonists overcame pretty intense obstacles to be reunited with one another.
      Same goes for Frozen. I enjoyed the story and the characters (though I'm still disappointed about Hans; he didn't have to end up with Anna or Elsa, but that didn't mean he should have been the bad guy... I guess that was too close to Enchanted's approach to fairytale romance.) but I don't see it as the story of the Snow Queen I loved to read about when I was younger. I was so excited when I saw the early drafts and concept art of the characters of the original story, and I loved Alan Menken's "Love Can't be Denied" song.
      I'm not saying the changes Disney made were bad:
      -Little Mermaid got a happy ending
      -Snow White's Prince liked her before seeing her lifeless body
      -Maleficent (don't like her, but she is one of Disney's most famous villains)
      -Pinocchio is adorable (in the original story he's a brat)
      -Hunchback of Notre Dame main characters get a happy ending
      -American Princess Tiana
      -the list goes on and on...

      Like I said, I don't mind adjustments to original fairytales for a feature film, but what I enjoyed about a good majority of these movies (not limited to Disney) is that above everything, they keep the essence of the original fairytales.

      why do you think the black cauldron is situated in 900s ? There no a single clue in the movie that indicates it. There no cities, civilization... there is nothing to situate it historically . Just a ruined castle and the Eilonwy's outfit ( that outfit is more from XVII century than something medieval...) Remember that The Black cauldron is a fantasy books series, not something historical. Besides, Aurora's world is not Earth, we don't share the same history ;).

    Yes I agree, Phillip is too handsome to kill off. He should only pretend to be killed off but is secretly alive for the very end of the story.

    I really like the last scene from the new page, with Aurora leaving behind her crown, it feels really symbolic. I feel this new remake deeper than the original one( which of course I loved back in the day), we have more information about the characters' feelings and their way of doing things. And of course the improved art it's just fantastic. I'm sure all the new remake chapters will be amazing with this new art and storytelling ^^

      Thanks for your words, but we know the first version of this chapter is horrible( the old storytelling is just awful and the drawing is even worse...). We hope do it so much better this time ;)

    I love how happy Aurora looks in her old home, I can really feel it and the colors of the main panel are so beautiful! I'm in love with the last panel, but at the same time it makes feel sad because I know the happiness won't last... Poor Aurora, she looks so beautiful with hairstyle and dress... and soon the nightmare will begin.

    Will we get a chance to explore each of the main princess's world before their lives change drastically, like Aurora's?
    Will we see a grownup Arthur?
    Does/did Guienivere have a decent relationship with him at least, or are all of her affections solely for Lancelot/Argus?
