SPOILERS BELOW - READ THE COMIC FIRST!
==========================
Holy wow. 6 months in the making, 8 comics, thousands of layers, hundreds of hours of work. It was worth it.
I hope you enjoyed this series as much as I have. A few things to note about this comic:
* Some of the panels are drawn, not vectored. This is "Tumblr Practice" as I'm considering starting an ask Tumblr
* Now that you know that Crabapple has loved Willow pretty much since they met, some of the other scenes through the comic should make more sense. For example, why he went almost nuts when Willow and the Princess were unconscious. It wasn't the Princess that drove him mad.
* Does something seem... familiar about the two heart healer ponies under Willow? It should. Think a few comics back... Their cutie marks each have significant meaning as well.
* Maybe you're picking up on a few hints that I'm throwing out there. That Crabapple and Willow founded Ponyville. They did. Remember when Twilight said "Earth ponies founded Ponyville hundreds of years ago"? I believe she meant "Non magical ponies" meaning that having it founded by Earth/Pegasus makes sense which is why they use both to wrap up winter (but not magic). As for Granny Smith's account, let's just pretend that Ponyville was abandoned for some reason and Celestia saw the appropriateness of returning it to the Apple family when they came through.
CREDITS:
I finally used someone else's background to save some time. This one for the back of Healer Hall: [link]
Lots of love to Lauren for her imagination and inspiration.
Thanks to Hasbro for being so good about the fanbase (except for toys... let's see some quality plushies ya?)

So Crabapple and Winter Willow's rivalry were so intense it caused occasional Windigo attacks?

Lol! Well... it's supposed to be symbolic, but I suppose if there were a broken window in the winter, they might stubbornly refuse to back down until they were snowed on

Are you sure it wasn't Appleloosa they founded?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Appleoosa was recently founded according to the show and it was also in a very desert area. Imma gonna stick with Ponyville
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Appleloosa is actually a recent settlement. Otherwise, the conflict between settlers like Braeburn and the bison would've been settled one way or the other long before that episode.

One of the girls from healer hall is a girl who had someone die in Winter Willows introduction comic, and boy was hiding under a table in the same comic.

Twas a story I wanted to tell, though I'm happy if you enjoyed it as well

BAH! Crabapple and Willow xDD I couldn't even think of it
May I ask you if you are working on any other comic, by any chance? This has an important meaning.
Also: those 3 "sad" comticons are probably due to your comic's length
Another thing: I didn't read your writing(I recall you mentioned something about basing it on your writing?), could you tell me who is the white mare on the bottom right?
Last(I think) thing: darn I forgot.... I guess I'll write it later....

I'm have more comics coming, but I'm already in the middle of a new one about how Rose Petal and her husband met (it's in my gallery in the Tumblr section). I have thought about writing a fan fiction, but I haven't done other writing besides that. The mare I think you're talking about is Heartsong and I have a picture of her and the others along with descriptions in my gallery as well

Ah, so there comes my another question. Do you find Photoshop really that useful or you aren't convinced about other programs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used Ulead Photoimpact for years, but got tired of how it didn't properly support my tablets. In the end, I had problems in PS too, but Photoshop is still the best tool I know of. Granted Illustrator is much better at certain things and I use it a lot recently, but for painting and artwork, PS is better. Illustrator is better for show-style pony art.

Ah, thanks. It will help be more than a lot.
