Next page -- Previous page -- First page


...Clones. Dozens of them.

What is going on? Where did they come from? What are they really? Why am I asking so many questions? Will I ever answer them? Stay tuned to find out!

Hint: they are not changelings. :3

I've built a new filter in Inkscape for the fonts, this one looks way better than the previous try. Will fix the previous page at some point too. :3
Out of the backgrounds that you see on this page, the sharper ones are the ones that I vectored (using screenshots), the not-so-sharp ones are direct screenshots from the show (on the last panel, there were originally just 2 ponies :3). So as always, all credits go to the animator team. :3


As always, MLP:FiM is owned by Hasbro and created by , please don't sue me.

I think I get what's going on here. You're making a plausible explanation for there being multiple background ponies in some shots in the show! And I like the way you're handling it! Looks like Lyra may have met with Sweetie Drops in this situation. Lol.

Oh, and good job on the funny background event in the first two panels.

Incognito-I In reply to ??? [2013-05-05 14:30:29 +0000 UTC]

...clones. Right, okay

But if we think about it, they are clones with appearances, but if that Bon Bon look-alike-clone-thingy is not Bon Bon, then they must have their own personalities and names and such? :s And clones don't just *appear*, so there must be a reason. >.> If I think back to earlier pages, I swear Colgate and Doctor had some sort of disturbance? Is that linked into this whole "clone" thing?

What if time has been warped, changed, mixed? D: And these are all the possible versions of the ponies that could have became part of reality?! Dx

I'm all confused now. Good part, though!

I think Lyra is discovering the laziness in the animation of episode 1.

Good enough for me. Btw... what do you use to make those comics? I'm just starting using illustrator for characters/background photoshop for colour enhancements and flash for future animations and was wondering.

O . O

At first, I thought this had to do with Bonbon, but it's LYRA???

You said it yourself that they're not changelings.

The only other possible answer is that Lyra found the mirror pool and used it, but she was nowhere NEAR the mirror pool!

What the heck is goin' on!!? O . o

Stancet In reply to ??? [2013-05-05 01:12:49 +0000 UTC]

This is definitely an unexpected turn. I can't help but feel like you're making some kind of explanation for that occurrence in the TV show, when they use multiple copies of the same pony to fill up space in a crowd. Actually... it would be kind of cool if it was you and this comic that gave us the explanation for that.

So... you are saying that the Lyra we seen waving at Twilight at Canterlot wasn't the real one?

Yeah. That thing about the clones in the show kinda... well.... ruin a bit (just a bit) the magic of the show.

"the Lyra we seen waving at Twilight at Canterlot wasn't the real one?"
At least in this universe.
It is unlikely that I make a time-traveling arc where they go back there.

You know, I'm guessing you're taking after the pony slice of life series, where the entire Bon family looks the same, but are all different.
