Graeystone: All good ideas do have some kind of inspiration. This comic is no different. After a year plus a couple of months, I finally found the fancomic that gave me the initial idea for Shifting Changelings (The reason it took so long was because I forgot to Favorite the Comic) -
drawponies.deviantart.com/art/…
So a special thanks for drawponies!

@moemneop: I’m sorry for the delay, I guess I badly planned on some drawing deadlines (plus uni and work keeping me busy…) :/ I’ll try to finish the next pages faster again ;)

Comic update ;)

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.

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.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Graeystone: Sorry about the drama that happened during the previous page. That mess really took away with what I want to say but enough of that.

I am looking for a ‘proof reader’ of sorts for a side project that I’m working for the comic. I am looking for someone who is good with biology that deals with how various life forms reproduce.
Just drop me a Note if you’re interested. You will get Full Acknowledgement… and maybe a Llama (on dA) if I didn’t give you one already.

Its true that sometimes the reader’s reaction isn’t what the author(s) expected. This is so true in the last page. I had hoped the WHAM! moment was the Pony Changeling talking to the Real Pony. Never in a million years would I have guessed it ended up being the Changeling Flower that got all the attention. Oh well, it keeps things interesting.

One last thing - TVTropes pleeze!

Wasn’t at home to post this earlier… here is the newest comic page ^^

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…
