This is the final state of the uncoloured pencil drawing. As stated below, the colouring never has been finished.
• Derpy Hooves is trapped and another changeling transformed into her. Poor thing hasn’t much space in there.
• The second changeling and the transformed one are just like Applejack, Spike, and Fluttershy part of the original panel this artwork is inspired by.
About This Project
Back in 2016, I planned to make one picture to each official MLP:FiM comic issue. I actually made several scans during the making of the first drawing and never published them. The pencil drawing has been created over the course of 3 months and it was very frustrating to me. It took so long due to medical conditions (OCPD, MDD) which makes me strive for unattainable perfection while being low on motivation and energy. On top of that I’m a bloody beginner, not having much experience, and it takes a lot of effort to get to such a level without practice. I never came back to this project which was left in a halfway coloured state. The whole experience made me lose my motivation for making art almost completely.
About The Comic
The first issue of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comics is the first part of a four-parter titled “The Return of Queen Chrysalis”. In short, changelings either trapped the ponies or turned them into zombies. The plan of the main characters was to pretend being zombies and one specific panel showed Applejack, Spike and Fluttershy facing some changelings. I wanted to recreate that scene but zoomed out with a full line-up of the main characters.
