Description How should start this description this time? Maybe I should tell how glad I am that I finally managed to finish this comic? Should I say that this comic is a fucking piece of shit,
and I'm really disappointed to myself? Maybe I should just say "enjoy", and start drawing the next comic? Nah... I know exactly what I'm going to say:

IT TOOK FUCKING FOREVER.

I have a good reason though. First of all, that course I was talking about earlier in my journal, took a month of my drawing time away, which was expected of course. After that course
I started suffering of clinical depression, which I didn't expect. It was quite difficult to draw since I didn't want to do anything and my concentration was basically zero, but I
used every better day for drawing until I managed to finish this comic. I'm still suffering of clinical depression but things are way better than they were about two months ago.

Why I'm telling this? Because it affects my comic series of course! Part 29 will be even shorter comic than this, but it still could take as long or even longer to finish. I know that
most of you are patient people, but I just thought that I let you know.

But how about the comic then? What do I think about it? It's a mixed bag. Backgrounds look quite nice, but characters look pretty horrible. Storywise the comic is a bit strange, but I
assure you, everything has it's own purpose. Besides, I came up with this idea when I had just started drawing this comic series, so this part is kind of a buttress of the whole comic
series.

And that's pretty much it, I think. If you want to follow the progress of the comic series, check out my new blog!

Enjoy!

I also like to thank my proofreader, , for the help.

Album artwork is not made by me. All the honor goes to people who made it (possibly Randy Barrett, I'm bad at searching information).

I'm definitely noticing an art shift here. For the better! The low, wide angle in the first panel with Rainbow at a gallop is especially well-done. Ponies better take notice!

Also, I don't listen to a lot of classic rock, but I do know good music when I hear it, and Divo tends to be associated with it.

On to 29!

One and a half year? I guess you're not really good at math (this comic was submitted on July 24, 2014).

Anyway, I don't know when the next comic will be ready. Check out my journal for more details: bcrich40.deviantart.com/journa…

Having just read through the whole series, "Improving Skills" is an apt name.Β  Watching your drawing style improve has been most impressive, and I also like the layers of complexity you've added to the story as the pages came together.Β  The improving quality of Rainbow Dash's wings is also nice.

I do find the present, more "horse-ish" appearance, less attractive than what you had before, though--the longer muzzle and nostrils look odd.

What program do you use to draw these?
Er...lemme restate that...
If you don't draw with paper/pencil/pen, do you use a computer program?
If so, what do you use?
If you are using pen/paper/pencil, how do you get the image on your computer?

SORRY FOR THE QUESTIONS.

BCRich40 In reply to iRainbowNarwhal [2014-11-12 06:19:05 +0000 UTC]

It's okay. I don't mind to answer questions.

I draw sketches traditionally with pen and paper. Then I scan them to my computer with shitty all-in-one printer. After that, I move scanned sketch(es) to Photoshop and finish the rest of the job with it.
