About a week ago I watched the Tales of Vesperia movie 'First Strike" and rejoiced. XD It was really awesome, and it took place before the events of the Tales of Vesperia game, which meant one thing: Repede was a puppy! ^_^ And he totally stole the show from the other characters.

All of my favorite moments from the movie involved puppy Repede and Yuri, and it was then I decided to draw this of Yuri and Repede together. Incidentally a few days after watching it I lost my own dog, which kind of made this piece more meaningful to me. Kind of the reason why it took so long to finish too XP It's supposed to be the mini-scene where Yuri sleeps out in the stables along with the dogs, including Repede Puppy XD It was a good movie...

I was playing with colors on this too. Not sure if I like it or not, but it's good enough. ^^ Repede puppy has to be the tubbiest little puppy I've ever seen. I want a Repede Puppy. One as stout and adorable as Repede.
