Description Finally! It took over a month, but was totally worth it! I even managed to fit every panel in one file. My computer almost died, because the original image is about 45000 pixels high, but it's much easier to work with one file than two.

To the point then! This is a really special part. It's all about experimenting new things. There's lots of camera angles I've never tried before. I tried many new things with backgrounds, and the most important thing with this part, is a new drawing technique!

I started to draw this with my basic technique, but I noticed that I need to improve it to get all new camera angles right. You shoud be able to see the point where I started to use the new technique. This is the reason why some characters look a bit... strange. I took it's time to get used to that technique, but it's totally worth it. Characters should look more normal in part 17.

Of course there is some flaws, like all camera angles don't look right, there's some stupid things wrong with backgrounds, and some of the panels look ridiculous etc, but hey! This comic is all about learning, and I learned so much while I was drawing this! It makes me happy!


And one more thing. You probably guess what it is.

I ask you to point out any grammar mistakes you can find from the comic. English is not my first language, so there is always something to fix. I'll fix those errors and that helps me to improve my English skills, and it makes the comic series more comfortable to read. If you'll point out an error, please tell me what is exactly wrong with it. It doesn't help me, if you'll say:

This sentence should be written like this
*correction*

I want to know why it should be written like that. I hope you understand what I mean. Of course there is exceptions like missing letters or something like that.

If there's a lot to correct, please send them in note form. Let's just spare the comment section from huge walls of correction messages. Thank you.

Anyway, enjoy!

Still loving these strips! And I'm as impressed as Twilight by the slow addition of little details, although I don't think she's noticed the improvements being made to light and shading as well. Not as observant as Β she thinks, eh?Β  Β 

My only critique here would be that Twilight's inner monologue could use some trimming. I would understand it if you were attempting to demonstrate how active her mind is, but she's explaining things she already knows to herself, and I just feel it all goes on a few panels longer than it needs to.

But again, I'm already hooked and a little wordiness isn't going to sway me! This comic is too good!

It's amazing to see how far you've come. It's a gradual process, but this strip was where Β it suddenly hit me and it really stands out.

The new angles, the shadows, the level of detail, it's phenomenal and the ultimate testament to practice making perfect.

In the future can you place stop using the word "buck" and its derivatives as some sort of fuck lite? The word already has a meaning which the show uses correctly. Misusing it only makes you look stupid.

Winree In reply to JohnDudeIV [2014-02-20 06:33:47 +0000 UTC]

And criticizing the authors use of it is making you look stupid, to some people at least. Think of 'buck' as a replacement for fuck, such as 'fudge' does way back home. This is a fairly kid-friendly comic, and if you want the little foalies to start swearing, then start your own story.

This is a hugely popular comic, and I highly doubt that the creator will stop using the word 'buck' because you asked him, however kindly, not to.

Yes, using it incorrectly. Not ONCE in the show was the word buck used like that.

you know, using a dot is maybe the american version but for example in germany, you are using the dots to devide the digits after every third one and a comma to seperate the decimal places from the rest^^

pretty much. I've seen variations of 1.000.000 and 1,000,000 as well so its not uncommon to use commas instead of full stops.

"Of course there is some flaws"

The correct form of "to be" in this case is "are" so it matches "flaws" ("flaws" is plural, so should be "to be", which is "are")

I'm hoping rather than a typical shipping comic, this is about the creator trying to ship them--then they thwart the attempt. Maybe I should have just abandoned this comic when Dash said she was a snake, though.

No, Twi, you were into stallions. Then you learned that you had a chance with the Dash. Now you are Dashosexual. You are attracted only to the Dash.
Well, that and books.

At this point, I realised that I don't want to use exactly the same style like the show does, so I started to develop my own style. Even though this part looks quite silly today, it's still a really important part to me, because it changed everything.
