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.

am i the only one who thought scoot looks a bit like fluttershy?? o.O

but wow, amazingly expressed and explained, it definitely gives the fanfic justice (there must be some really crappy interpretations of the fanfic somewhere)
i love the thought that went into this and makes it even more unique

damn, i just love this

Thanks you )
Well, the eye shape is Flutty indeed.
I tried to make her look helpless, weak and broken. That may have some resemblance to FluterShy look.
Thats why there is so much temptation to protect her I guess.

Great artwork.
1. Did you use a program or paint this irl?
2. If you used a program, which program was it?

Drul In reply to EpicuruPony [2012-03-30 16:55:16 +0000 UTC]

I used a program to draw this irl )

PaintTool SAI for sketching and lineart and Photoshop CS5 for everything else.

I used standart SAI paint brush.
And I used standart round PS brush, using it with different hardness and with opacity and size jitter.

This story was quite depressing.

Drul In reply to Hermitstoopid [2012-03-26 23:54:47 +0000 UTC]

I felt that too)
Now I look at it like at joy ride. Scary and depressing as hell.
But once you are out, the sun is brighter.
If there is a role model in MLP:FIM then there is antirole model in RF. That is another good one for me.

And I just like the dynamic as I've said. Like for no reason.
There is magic hidden behind all the grim stuff.
I see it and try to put into something more joyfull. Or not)

Suddenly, there's a tremendous roar, and the gates to the factory explode inwards. The cloud of smoke produced takes a few seconds to clear, and a huge silhouette slowly reveals itself to be a gigantic hairy ape, with a jolly roger emblazoned on his tricorne hat, and a shining silver hook replacing his right paw. He stands astride an enormous motorcycle.

One of the guards, with a white coat and blonde hair, gasps and exclaims in a thick mexican accent "Holy s**t! It's-"
"Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla!" The foals all cheer.



Yeah, the only thing I like about most grimdark is its ungrimdarkification.

AMAZING work. So much detail. I prefer that fic to Cupcakes, personally...I felt that Cupcakes was just blood and gore for the sake of being grimdark, while Rainbow Factory had a lot of psychological elements to it...

Bravo
