Thanks to @memy-modblog for this great response and sorry for the delay ;)
@memy-modblog, @kamithepony and I are sending our ponies.. and gembug on a trip through Equestria. You can find their previous travel logs here. Feel free to ask Memy or Lukida any questions about it ;)
Graeystone: Yes, Derpy is that old. Because Changelings are shapeshifters (physical + magical) their cells constantly rejuvenate and the Healing Puddle does slow down the aging process making them able to live for at least 2000 years before their cells can no longer rejuvenate. At that point the cellular rejuvenation becomes like any other normal life form and changeling then has a normal lifespan.
Comic update ;)
I finally finished her (after more than a half year -.-)
Also sorry for the bad image quality, I neither have a good camera nor good lighting (“no sun”)…
She’s made of polymer clay and painted with acrylic colors. Her horn and wings are removable. She’s about 22cm high.
You can find some more pictures here ;)
Not a simple repost, I made the animation smoother and added some cheap extras xP
Graeystone: After giving certain plot ideas some thought, I’ve came up with some really neat ideas that will greatly improve the story from what I had originally planned. Page 17 starts a complete rewrite for the rest of the story except for the ending. The overall plot hasn’t changed either. Its just the ‘how’ that’s been changed.
Neop: I changed the art style for the princesses a little. It isn’t perfect yet, but I like it much more now.
Comic update ;)
I’m doing a comic stream, Shifting Changelings, page 17… Feel free to watch ;)
The picture above is just an unrelated, expermental warm-up sketch, ignore the mistakes xP
