I just realized I should make a post about this, because it's such a big deal, I've been thinking about it a lot.

Samson evolved the other day! It was a harrowing scene, a life-or-death situation sort of thing that's hard to give an overview of, but effectively: his 'big brother' (not related by blood, but they have that sort of relationship) Max got involved fighting some bad guy ghosts. Sam and Barson caught sight of him in a crowded marketplace before he headed to an abandoned building, where Max was fighting a ghost named Piotr. Sam and Barson got their own hands full of another ghost, Brianna, a Mimikyu (ever want to know what's under the cover? No, you don't), who ended up nearly killing Sam.

He's been carrying a Fire Stone around with him as a last resort for months now, so after he got buried in rubble and was on death's door, he evolved to chase the ghosts away, though not before Max got critically injured, mostly by the ghost, but also in part due to a wayward dark attack from Barson that went awry. Isn't that just the nature of dark moves? You can never count on them in a time of need.

The scene is over and done, but Barson is in a very bad spot mentally, Max is in a very bad physically, and Sam is just doing his best to keep on trucking as he gets used to this brand new much, much bigger body.

The name of the scene is Turning Point, and you can read it here.

In any case, I'll be drawing a lot more Arcanine Sam going forward, but I don't plan on abandoning Growlithe Sam. I'll probably draw him as a Growlithe as much as I used to draw him as an Arcanine, you know what I mean?

I do have some sketch pages coming up as well as I continue to get used to his new form. I'm very excited about the RP opportunities brought up.. and grateful that Barson's Christmas (we call it Rebuild Day) gift to him was some larger clothes for his new form.

Keep it real, and if you have any questions about Sam (or any of my characters, really) feel free to ask, I love talking about my little RP world.
