Description The leader of the Kisetsugers, it's Summer Red. Reflecting his season, he is a very warm, inviting person who rallies behind his team to strive for greatness. That being said, he often butts heads with Winter Blue. Also his main element is fire, yet shifts into a mastery of light, seeing as summer often fills its days with massive sun.

I also tried a new way of creating a fire effect and think it works well.

Enjoy!

I agree. The fire effect looks AMAZING and I am wondering how you managed to do it so crisp and well. Yet again, I see this as an amazing improvement in your skills and it leaves me keen to see where they go next in the months to come.

The evolution of fire to light manipulation certainly appeals to me. I'll admit I find fire to be a bit overused, especially in some of the Sonic communities I mentioned before I used to be a part of. This is ultimately why I developed Caracal/Silrun as a light based character so I am keen to see how Kisetsu Red's light powers evolve. A rivalvry between him and Winter Blue also makes sense and I like how Red's personality is the opposite of blue's. If your open to a personality suggestion, perhaps Red has a tendency to "blaze forward" and act without thinking leading to him perhaps finding himself in situations that aren't well thought out.

I'm glad to hear the new fire effects work! I have tried out different ways to make fire, which can be seen on various pieces throughout my gallery, but I think this one works with the translucent effects. As always, thanks for the compliment!

I have found that Green and Red somewhat overlap as their respective seasons involve sun more than the other two, so I'll play around with each of their personalities a bit more. Also, the light powers are going to come from a team up battlizer form a la having Red take on the other three seasonal powers, making a light-based power up.

No problem. I will admit I find Fire to be a bit of a boring, over used element (I feel too many people just throw it in for elemental powers due to how easy it is to write, rather than consider the science for how others work, but hey, to each their own) but I will make an exception here as, like I said, I like this fire effect and look forward to seeing you use it again.

Ahh yes I think I've seen that Battlizer now. Upon hearing it's light based, I am keen to know more and see how it gets developed

Fire is pretty boring and it needs to stop being the main characters power in just about all forms of entertainment. I've grown to like the concept of heat manipulation that grants the person hot and cold abilities, but even that is becoming a bit too commonplace in media.

I will admit I'll make "an exception" for unique takes on fire, like different coloured flames (especially if the unique colour offers a different "flavour") or magma but otherwise I couldn't agree more.

I've never really looked into/considered heat manipulation from that angle (nor can I say I've seen it that much myself) but I think it's a good idea and may be one looking into more.
