Lonelyness ? that's the part of pinkie I forgot. Lonelyness is still part of us either way, can't kill it, can't hide it.
You sir, have managed to go beyond what many of us couldn't in the way you render your works and how you tell your story. I give you a million salutes. Thank you for inspiring me. Hope you continue to make art, be it Pony or not

This was absolutely amazing and so beautiful. The scene where she's remembering her friends on her birthday, that look on her face...manly tears.

Even Pinkamena needs a friend now and again, Pinkie Pie can be that friend... and probably introduce her to other friends, and have parties, and cake and... what is this weird cupcake I was just eating?

This... *sniff* ...this is amazing. My eyes and heart are Rainbooming.

I understand the metaphor, but it'd take too many words to explain. Superiority through visual storytelling, indeed. Fantastic work, ExplosiveGent.



BTW, are those birds okay? They kinda got blasted off their perch... D:

WOW! I love the symbolism of that white string/hair.
(correct me if I wrong about the string being more than just a strand of hair.)

Zjonni In reply to xTheAgilePanda [2012-06-07 08:39:28 +0000 UTC]

If you are thinking it's something like the idea of an astral thread that connects body and spirit, or sleeper and dreaming mind, or some such, and in this case is sort of a link between the two personalities of 'ultimate happy Pinkie' and 'ultimately sad Pinkie', then I'm thinking that, too.

I just came across these "Time Off" comics (and your gallery) by coincidence and now I'm sitting here, wide-eyed with my mouth open, trying to take in what I just looked at. Really impressive work. I don't know if I can even comprehend everything you're trying to express but they sure stirred me up.
Apart from the moving content, your art is also extremely nice to look at. You're doing wonders with light, shadow and colors. I hope you'll continue this series.

Wow, this is beautiful. I've looked at all 3 of your time off comics to date and their all stunning, the Rainbow Dash one was excellent, so was Rarity's, and this one is very touching. Please keep working on theses, I can't WAIT for more!
