Now that everything's over, any more plans for Night Rain and Rainbow Dash?

Same as usual. Unfortunately, I've stalled on writing the fic... turns out, if I leave a project sit for too long, I start forgetting what I've already written and what I was going to do...

About that new comic with Rain and Dash. I have to ask: is it going where I think it's going?

I think regardless of what happens it'll be fun to watch.

I have some plans with my own OC/Dash pairing, but they're waiting a bit because I'm waiting for my next commission with them before I do anything else since that commission features a new look for my character. That's why I've been focusing a little more on my beta couple right now.

I only have that many because I went for a certain pledge level on her Patreon. At that particular level, you got a free request doodle every month. Went off it this month though, couldn't afford it.

I've been checking out your stuff on Night Rain. It's funny how similar him and Dreamer, my main oc, are. Both of them started off pretty shy, both ended up falling for Rainbow Dash, both have a fear of heights, and both changed their looks thanks to Rainbow.

Out of curiosity, do you have any art of Dreamer?

ChrisCmoney In reply to EbonyManta [2018-01-29 11:22:52 +0000 UTC]

Quite a few. He's in one pic by Evo where he's kissing Rainbow Dash while she's in her Wonderbolt outfit.

This one's the most recent image with him, also with Wonder!Dash:

Oh! I remember that pic of Evo's, I quite loved it. :3 It was very romantic and adorable. I'll have to see what other art there is of Dreamer on Derpibooru...

ChrisCmoney In reply to EbonyManta [2018-02-02 11:39:45 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks! That's a favorite of mine. In-universe it's supposed to be their first kiss.

EbonyManta In reply to ChrisCmoney [2018-02-02 15:17:49 +0000 UTC]

Awwww. :3 Nothing like a first kiss. I enjoy first kiss stories, they can be so romantic.

I actually have a pic of the scene just before Night Rain and Rainbow's first kiss, by Evehly - although since she doesn't upload commissions of OCs, apparently, it's not uploaded anywhere. I was waiting to upload it to Derpibooru until I actually had that scene written out and published in the fic I'm writing, but... it's been a while...

ChrisCmoney In reply to EbonyManta [2018-02-02 23:30:23 +0000 UTC]

That's the reason Dash has her mask off in the image - since it is their first kiss, Dreamer asked if she could take it off since he'd want to see her pretty face uncovered for it. Timeline wise it's supposed to take place after this image (pridark.deviantart.com/art/Com… ) with another big Wonderbolts show in Canterlot.

Awww, I can imagine that pic is very sweet.Β 

I wrote a chapter for a fic with Dreamer and Rainbow Dash myself, detailing how they first met. It's only one chapter, with me currently stuck on writing chapter 2 because I want to get the dialogue for Dreamer's mom, Tranquil Shade, just right and I have some writers block at the moment.

Have you posted it anywhere yet?

My own fic is posted on Fimfiction: www.fimfiction.net/story/38722… although it won't actually get to the shipping part for a while. (Psst! Don't spoil anything! I'm trying to keep the fact that it's a shipfic secret until the end! I'll probably fail, but still!)

Really? Interesting. What's he like? I assume there are a number of differences too. XD

ChrisCmoney In reply to EbonyManta [2017-07-08 01:06:22 +0000 UTC]

He first met Rainbow when he was a colt. They've been friends for a while, and I often had them just hanging out as best friends in several earlier pics I've commissioned.

Personality wise he's a pretty nice guy and friendly, but even though he's more open now than when he was a colt he still needs some initiation if he's meeting a new pony.

Though when I referred to changing his look, the proper term should probably be he "reverted back" after some encouragement from Dashie. His mane and tail are naturally curly, which he inherited from his mom, but he preferred to keep it in a straighter style when he was younger to attract less attention. Though I do plan on having him cut his mane and tail so they're shorter sometime in the future too.

*nods* I see. Out of curiosity, where all have you seen art of Night Rain? Don't recall if I mentioned his fear of heights here or not...

Also, which tribe of pony is Dreamer? Pegasus, or a different type?

ChrisCmoney In reply to EbonyManta [2017-07-13 05:19:44 +0000 UTC]

I was browsing on an art site and remember seeing a comment about it on one image that showed Rainbow Dash flying with him.

He's an Earth Pony; light grey coat, brown curly mane and tail.

EbonyManta In reply to ChrisCmoney [2017-07-13 09:47:08 +0000 UTC]

Would have been Derpibooru, then.

An Earth Pony, huh? Hmm, probably didn't meet while Rainbow Dash was living in Cloudsdale then?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ChrisCmoney In reply to EbonyManta [2017-07-22 15:09:27 +0000 UTC]

He met her a few times she visited Ponyville - I know the show said she didn't move there until she was older, but it never said she never visited before that.

The first time she met Dreamer was due to Cloudsdale's weather factory causing a flood forcing her parents to head to Ponyville to pick some things up from the market there, which is brought up in the fanfiction chapter I wrote. Years later it turns out that Derpy accidentally caused it while visiting the factory on a tour- Dreamer ends up discovering this and puts two and two together, realizing it's all because of her that he met Rainbow in the first place, so he ends up being pretty grateful to Derpy.

Apologies for not responding for so long, been busy with family and various other things, but hopefully that's done... and hopefully I can get some work on my shipfic done, involving RD and Night Rain! I've been procrastinating too long with that...

I figured it was about time, I'd liked enough of your art, and I wanted to watch you in case you did wind up making a comic version of "A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies."
