The comic goes on!
@moemneop: Sorry for the huge delay. I’ve been working on my final thesis all day for the last few months with only few chances to work on the page. I should be able to go back to my normal comic schedule after this month. Anyway, I hope you like the page!
Neop: I’m finally done with my exam phase.. sorry for having you wait so long, but here is the next page. If you need a little recap read my note below ;)
Graeystone: Okay, so we confused a good chunk of people with the past few pages. Now I’m going to clear a lot of this up as best as I can without spoiling too much.
- What many readers said what may happen could happen concerning Derpy. (Keyword being ‘could’. Nothing is guaranteed)
- Chrysalis - She knows there is a One out there. She thinks its the Changeling (Derpy) she can’t mentally control. However she doesn’t know what shape the Changeling (Derpy) took.
- Luna - She knows she has an Apprentice yet doesn’t know who or where she is. Luna doesn’t know that what she felt is a connection between herself and a Changeling instead of herself and an Unicorn… which is ironic considering what Luna just said about keeping her Apprentice safe from the ‘Unknown Changeling’.
- Derpy - Will be more stress piled onto her growing mountain of stress.
I hope that clears everything up.
Neop: Here is a short summary of the past 21 pages as a little reminder:
Finally a comic update again 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
Graeystone:
Been asked about the recent episode The Times They Are A Changeling and how that affects the comic. That episode doesn’t affect the comic for the following reasons:
- The comic was started long before the episode aired and I don’t want to make the kind of changes that line up the comic with canon concerning Thorax. With the path that’s laid out for the comic, Thorax couldn’t fit in anywhere without seriously distracting from the regular cast.
- MLP the cartoon is a child’s show. They have to ‘soften’ characters like Chrysalis so she remains ‘kid friendly’. The comic is not a kids comic as shown on page 11.
- This is also 'realistic comic’ in some ways. Chrysalis is reflective of just about every real life dictator/tyrant in the present and past. Simply put - dictators do not care about their people. Also the Changeling Hive reflects real life insect hives, not the ones found in the movies Antz or A Bug’s Life.
Comic update ;)
How could I forget to mention I started my new comic Shifting Changelings Lies & Truths a few weeks ago? o.O
Have a little teaser from the recent page 2.
Also I’m working on a tumblr for the comic…
A teaser for the new comic I’m working on with Graeystone (who writes the story)…
