Description "Gotta make mummy proud!"

I haven’t sleep more than four hours during the last two nights and I’m dead tired from work. How in Luna’s name did I finish this within less than half a day!? Can someone explain!?

Anyhoof… had this in mind for a while, and had I known it would take so little time I probably would have done it sooner. It’s a colorization of KS4U’s fanart of Nyx, popular MLP original character of PenStrokePony, from the (in)famous fanfic "Past Sins" which I happened to love.

But, differing from pretty much any other work of mine, this was done completely in Adobe Flash without any help from Photoshop and with the intention to mimic as loyal as possible the style of the show. I hope everyone thinks I’ve done a good work there.

The fanart itself is about Nyx learning to fly. Something we never saw happening in her fanfic, but damn it, it should! So whoever is up for writing that can go and claim this picture for their fic.

So with that said and done, hope everypony likes!

Edit: Cutie Mark makes it 20% Cooler!

You would have to ask PenStroke, I think. All I can think of, well, her being so shy and fragil during the first half of the story makes one really want to care for her, don't you think?

Yes, same here. I came to love Nyx from the very moment Twilight found her. There's just something about that adorable little black alicorn that makes you feel like you need to go all bodyguard and stuff for her. Also, I finished reading "Past Sins" in 4 days straight, haha. Love the ending.

Guess you picked it up when the fic was already finished, uh?

Glad you liked both the story and my pic. I didn't find the story downright perfect, but definitely one of the best fics I've ever read.

Oh, and by the way, my pic got updated. Have you noticed?

you think Pen will write a sequel someday?

Alexlayer In reply to CaptRicoSakara [2011-09-15 21:33:13 +0000 UTC]

Maybe. He mentioned in the author notes at the end of the fic that he and his partner may return to the "Past Sins" continuity and perhaps write some more of it. For the time being, I believe he may be focusing on something else, though, so it'll be a matter of waiting and seeing.

I know Nyx has appeared in fanfics by other authors, anyway.

Alexlayer In reply to CaptRicoSakara [2011-09-16 23:53:39 +0000 UTC]

Don't you mean what other fics do *I* know she appears in?

Well, for one, there's this poem here in DA: [link]

The other day, while checking around Adultfanfiction.net, found a Nyx/Apple Bloom fic... and well, that much should tell you enough.

That's all that counts as far as it concern us, I believe. Sure, there's a few hate-fics out there from some people that just can't mind their own bussiness, but I think it's better for us to stay away from that.
