It's all very interest-OH LOOK, A BUTTERFLY!

Lore time. :3 Luckily, there won't be many more pages like this for a while, these take a long time for me to write. :/ But nevertheless, here's my clumsy attempt at having Tavi explain everything.

Lyra's question of ponies singing may sound strange, if it involved only singing. But when somepony starts singing (at least in this universe), it gets an instrumental backup, sometimes without any visible band. (I declare that to be a pony thing, just like the "lyrics-empathy" or something like that.) So why do you need to hire a real band when you get it anyway? Tavi explains why. :3

Also, Tavi calls her miss Lyra Heartstrings instead of miss Heartstrings, because Heartstrings isn't Lyra's family name. (At least in this universe.) So I treat the whole of her name as a given name.

Also #2, yep, the two musical ponies mentioned will be(/are) characters as well.

Next on Heartstrings:
Let us continue our journey to our headquarters!
It feels like all I did today is going somewhere...
Pardon?
N-nevermind!

Good thing that she's the kind of pony who can share her attention, so she can avoid the awkward moment when she'd supposed to be acting like she was paying attention the whole time.

FCKING YAY!

How long does it take you for one page?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TriteBristle In reply to DavidCurser [2013-07-03 21:40:08 +0000 UTC]

It depends on many aspects: how text heavy it is (this one was particularly tough), how complex are the poses on it and how hard it is to get the backgrounds (either by making them myself or find a suitable scene, from which I can crop out the ponies and use it as a background).
So it should be 2-7 days per page, if I'm not on a deadline job or have to study for something imminent.

But Pinkie have always had a sense for infinite multitasking. Lyra must be a very special pony to be ignored be Pinkie for so long. Ow what madness hehe.

TriteBristle In reply to genstian [2013-07-03 21:36:31 +0000 UTC]

Pinkie will notice Lyra later that day, and gets frustrated Pinkie style since now not only she has to prepare for the Princess's welcoming celebration, throw a party for the Princess's no.1 student, she also has another pony to welcome... xD

Very nice and informative. it Felt a little bit like exposition that would be better with more characters of the guild explaining about how it came to be but it was very good one.

That blue pony in the background in the first few panels must have really been torn about whether to buy some honey (or some other bee related product) from that stand

If you say so, I believe you.
It's just that it's weird to see the color "bleeding" without a line to "keep it in place".

Apologies for the illiteracy of my statement, I'm an amateur artist of sorts (even though the only thing I do is retrace vectors).

TriteBristle In reply to Lucefudu [2013-07-03 21:12:12 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty sure I'll refine her vector a lot of times in the future, so problems like that will vanish slowly
(I'm not an artist myself at all, so perfection was and will never by my personal goal ).

After hearing Beauty Brass from 'The Vinyl Scratch Tapes', I've always wondered what she looked like. I don't know if she has any official art or not, but it will be interesting to see your spin on her~

Watch the S1 finale again. You'll see Octavia playing her cello, a pony on piano, and a blue pony with a brown mane and tail, playing a tuba. (at least I think it's a tuba... might be a sousaphone...) [link] That would be Beauty Brass.
