Description Part 2: [link]

Finally it's up!

This has been the culmination of a project months in the making! (Though it's also a project that should've been finished a months ago. )

As is mentioned in the title this is part 1 of a 2 part story.

-I hesitate to mention this but, for those offering critique I must make a clarification; This has been a project months in the making. I'm not asking you to hold back or pull punches, rather just be aware that my art has improved since I originally sketched this thing out. Please take a look at one or two of my other recent pictures before you tailor your advice based on this picture alone.

-Anyway hope you guys enjoy!

Be sure to check out the Comic Dub, once again provided by !

If only their parents would finally get back from that decades long trek across Equestria planting apple seeds. Livin' the dream set down by great-grandpa Johnny.

OT: But seriously, great comic.

I half expect something like that to happen in cannon at some point. But if it does, I won't be bitter. This is just fanfiction after all. It can exist in its own little world. ^^

Tears.
You know, I never really gave AJ and Applebloom (and big Mac's) parentage that much of a thought. It's never mentioned, and given the statement from the writers not to touch 'heavy' subject matter, I doubt we'll see it again.

Not many comics catch my eye - but yours is very impressive - from choosing the scene over text and at last the amazing graphic work! And touching.

NaterRang In reply to LoganStoppable [2012-08-29 02:21:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I takes a lot of effort in sequential art to show instead of tell. So many times the temptation to just explain a concept with a simple text box is quite strong. The rewards are worth the effort though. ^^

Thank you for noticing!

Especially if itΒ΄s conducted right! And you have a lot of views and comments, so it is very rewarding for sure

IΒ΄ve made quick-scan on your gallery. You have a lot of sadness there, which is...too lively.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

NaterRang In reply to LoganStoppable [2012-09-05 02:08:56 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is an extra motivator knowing that people enjoy what I spend so much time creating.

-As for sadness, to be honest I never thought about my gallery being full of "sadness". -Though I seem to have a thing for crying ponies. XP
I guess I like to inject my pictures with a little drama. I love creating humorous pieces too, but when I see a picture with a lot of drama, or a picture that touches on a dramatic subject, it makes an impression in my mind. Sometimes it generates an emotional reaction. The point is, I come up with these scenarios that might seem sad, perhaps because the idea generates an emotional response in me, and I hope also in the people who look at my art.

From looking at a few select pieces of my art, you might conclude that I have a greyer or depressed outlook in life- but trust me, that ain't the case! I'm actually a very bright and optimistic guy in person.

LoganStoppable In reply to NaterRang [2012-09-05 04:48:46 +0000 UTC]

I never said you are depressed I only pointed out that those catched my eye and it had something special in it
To be honest, at first I thought that you MIGHT have a bad mood in the last time, as you said I could conclude - but it isnΒ΄t a rule, obviously ItΒ΄s true that some comics gave me laugh (as for "The perfect stallion?" ).

Applejack's awesomeness is too much to contain in any Applejack fan club, so it spills into other pony fan clubs.

Pretty sure if Fluttershy isn't anywhere in it, it shouldn't be in a club about her.

That was my mistake, I was adding the pic to a number of clubs and added the dev to that group in error. It's fixed now.
