Description An illustration for Rainbow Factory fanfic by Aurora Dawn

You can find story here (warning this is not easy story. 18+ probably):

I really love this. I was trying hard to achieve that dirty sick atmosphere of despear.

There are many people who compare this fanfic to cupcakes and I understand why.

But in my opinion these are completely different.

I tried to put something more than just gore and blood as illustration. Thats because it is not blood that was hard and shocking for me.

I am immune to that kind of stuff so fuck it.

It is - betrayal that was shocking.

While it is much easier to imagine Pinky becoming maniac (she so random ^_^) it is completely impossible for me to fit that kind of acting for Dashy.

Element of Loyalty, I felt cripling horror realising here twisted madness. It was s stunning picture beautiful and horrible by its nature.

This is the moment of Scootaloos shock right before she broke up shoutng in anger.

Every other person in picture is uneven and blurry. It is not about them. The figures behind Scoot are her thoughts about everything happening. Unsure and random.

Those two figures by sides of Dash are two parts of her current mentality.
The guy to the right is rage. overwhelming and powering. the one driving.
The guy to the right is sorrow. I bet you have'nt notices teardroping in midair.
That is because I still loved Dashy while I was reading fanfic. Just like Scootaloo did till the end. And I felt sad for her fall.

It is cool story and I love it because of its strong and powerfull flow, like it was written within single breath.


P.S my English sucks when I try to express myself. sorry about that.

And you can see that there is a gap in the background where you can fly to. There is always an option. Fuck everything and go for it Scoot.

I totally agree with you.
I don't think the story was shocking because of the gore either. The change in miss element-of-loyalty was what surprised me.
Her sudden change when she saw Scootaloo that caused her to have a pinkie-pie like creepiness, the dark story behind the city of clouds, the insanity and gore mixed in a rainbow...

It makes you think deeply about things which seem happy and simple y'know?
I kinda liked it. Totally interested in the next one.

Time goes on and people still write comments on this picture )
I am glad that there is someone who looks at least a bit deeper in the story.
Woohoo!

This is by far the most powerful and most well thought-out Rainbow Factory image I have ever seen. Though the story was upsetting and unsettling for me (Dash's hate for Scootaloo, the deaths of children just for rainbows, and the way the ponies were treated throughout), it was a great story. If there's one thing this story could do to me, it was bringing out emotions in me, mainly sorrow and anger, but if a story can create that sense of emotion, it's great to me!

Sorrow and anger is far better than not feeling anything at all. Good thing - to enjoy all we get.

You really manage to capture the suspence between RD and Scootaloo here, so eerie.
I've never read rainbow factory, but I'm still curious to what it's all about? From what I heard RD runs a factory which makes rainbows by killing ponies, and she eventually kills Scootaloo?

I read Rainbow Factory this morning, and I wasn't really scared at all, but to me, it was a beautifully written horrifying story of despair. This pic really just shows that despair to me. I feel the hopelessness every time I look at this thing.

Okay, I'll stop talking, other than saying, this is wonderful! Great work! <3
