Description
Song that inspired this thingy: Lullaby for a Princess by ponyphonic , sung by Christina Larson
I highly suggest you listen to it while reading this.
Alternatively titled "A progression of my art skills"
Last page shows the largest change compared to the first page. More dynamic poses and better proportions/shading. Also an evolution of style and I almost want to redo the first page but I am too chronically lazy.
Part 2
Finale
EDIT:
figured out why the text was lighter than I intended..
the file got currupted in my computer and washed out the text as a random glitch. so instead of having a DARK PInK AND GOLD outline the text got FUCKING PALE PINK AND NEON YELLOW AND Urghgurghgrirhghrghrgr
So after a good cussing spree and A LOT OF MAX'S HELP I tHinK I GOT IT FIXED BUt IF YOu STILL CAN'T READ IT HERE ARE Thine lyrics-
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
Also, THE ART GETS BETTER I PROMISE

Wow Never thought I'll say this butΒ CelestiaΒ is really self-centered

She's not self-centered. She got a little wrapped up in being worshipped but realized her error. Unfortunately by the time she realized it Luna was too blinded by her resentment and jealousy to see how much her sister truly regretted being like that. The entire song is about Celestia realizing how important her sister was to her.Β

I hate to say this because it is personal (sort of) but I have a boyfriend.
And this reminds me of him
*cries and runs into my room*

The color changes to the text give it an additional emotion the words alone couldn't have achieved.Β Wonderful choice on your part.

Amazing!
it just matches the song perfectly. I've seen other comics of it but this is the only one that truly captures the feeling of the song.
The only thing about it is that it isn't complete. The intro and also the last part are missing.
However it's still beautiful nonetheless. I would just love it so much if you would complete it.

i have to ask what about the intro you know "fate has been cruel and order unkind, how can i have sent you away, the blame was my own, the punishment yours, the harmony silenced today, but into the stillness I'll bring you a song, and i will your company keep, till you tired eyes and my lullaby's have carried you softly to sleep." or the bridge " for years now before us, fearful and unknown, i never imagined, I'd face them on my own may these thousand winters swiftly pass i pray, i love you, i miss you all these miles away, may all your dreams be sweet tonight safe a pone your bed of moonlight, and know not of sadness, pain or care, and when i dream I'll fly away and meat you there. sleep X3"

Honestly? I didn't feel up to it because I am chronically, terminally, and unbearably lazy.
I didn't have ideas for what to put in those parts so I didn't do them, maybe if I ever have an inspiration 'em I'll do it, but not right now

just give the text an outline that has good contrast but doesn't look shitty infront of the background
like the word "smiled"

Damn this is beautiful. I listen to the song sometimes when I need a reminder.

I can't read half of it, good thing I already know how it goes.

Shadow the text with a contrasting colour, it works when I do it for some projects. Hope that helps.

The outline on the word "smiled," is a little too brown. If you ever post an updated version of this piece might you consider changing the outline on smiled to be a little more pink.
?IF you still have the source file with all its layers intact; shouldn't be too difficult. There is something else I'll mention too in case you're willing to make slightly more difficult improvements. I was reading along up to the word "beloved," and then I got stuck for a little while trying to figure out what you had written; not long enough not along enough to interrupt/ create an awkwardness in something that was otherwise beautiful. The word "beloved" is really difficult to read because the text color matches the background too closely. If you ever post a revised version of this piece, can you do something to the word "beloved" so that there is more contrast between it and the background? The contrast does not have to be extreme; the rest of everything is in very soft pastels, so just a little adjustment. The words "reign," "brilliant," and "glory" are also difficult to read. It is not the color of the text that's a problem, per se. Other text in the same color such as "no-pony" and "lovely" look great and are really easy to read because the background they are on is different than the text color. I almost suggested adjusting text color of each word slightly so that there is more contrast, but I really like that the text takes on a limited few different styles. If you adjust the color on the hard to read words, that will mess up the limited number of test styles. so instead my advice is that change the online color of the hard the read words and leave the fill color consistent throughout the piece. If there is no outline color on those words, fill only, maybe add outlines.

If it were as simple as that, I would have done it before this was held up to thousands of people's scrutiny. OTL
I made this part so long ago and when I finally had the time to come back to it, upon examining the source file I found the layering to be in shit condition. I'm working out how to fix it and avoiding the option of writing over the whole thing again and risking it looking really sloppy.
I have noticed that on some screens there is no difficulty reading the text and on others there is a problem, varying usually because of screen brightness and quality.
