Description Loneliness. The feeling one gets when isolated from others. Among ponykind this feeling can be accompanied by emotions such as sadness, despair, confusion, and/or anger. Extended amounts of loneliness can even cause the gradual mental collapse of an individual, who might then attempt to create replicas of others and interact with them as if they were actual sentient beings.

Dr. Frankensteed is no exception. An outcast of pony society, Frankensteed was banished to the Evertree Forest due to what was declared as, "Un-ethical practices in Equestrian science and magic". Lost and bitterly alone, he came across the ruins of an ancient castle, a relic of a long-lost age. He decided to set base inside the crumbling ruins, and continued the very research that got him banished. Already the hollow feeling of loneliness began to creep into his heart, and eventually into his mind. The madness that follows was quick to set in...

Basically that was the story that came to mind while drawing this.

This is what I've been mainly working on for the past two weeks. That's right, EVEN MOAR pony fanart! This time a parody of the book Frankenstein!
I'd like to thank for all of his advice and constructive criticism on this piece. He's really been a big help for me.

I think I'm getting a little better at pony anatomy, though my outlining could use a lot of work. (Note to self: Use thicker lines!) Though it looks great far away, if you zoom in close enough (and I mean close), you'll see a lot of errors that I don't intend to make next time.
I personally like the Frankentseed character, and I think I might draw him some more, though it'll probably be traditional and not digital artwork.

Also, I've placed a few easter eggs here and there, some I made easy to find, others I tried to make less noticeable.

I'm not into the whole ponies thing, but I dig the background of it.

Thank you, this was my very first real attempt at making an entire scene digitally, so that means a lot to me!

I like the muddy, almost dusty visual texture you used. Fits the Frankenstein novel very well.

Wow, that's a strange coincidence...
Let's hope you're not reading War of the Worlds next, because that's probably my next pony-parody.

Nope! I read that back in sixth or seventh grade (can't really remember when). We're not reading it this year, but it was still awesome.

Oh wow!! This looks so awesome!! I luff it *w*

I never read the Frankenstein novel myself, but I do plan on it sometime soon.
Oh, may I ask what his cutie mark is?

Thank you! To tell you the truth, I haven't read the novel yet either... (I do plan on reading it soon though)



His cutemark is supposed to be one half of a heart combined with a lightning bolt. Personally, I think it means that his special talent is bringing objects to life with electricity/science, but it's really up to you.

Quickly... TO THE LIBRARIES, CERTAINLY THEY HAVE IT!!!

Ahhhh, I see it now. The first time I saw it... I saw a cupcake but when i kept staring at it, I saw the heart part, not the lightning bolt part, but it make total sense as to why you would choose those two together 8D

AAAH! MY PART OF THE PLAN IS FLAWED! THE LIBRARIES ARE CLOSED WHERE I AM!

So, of all the things you could see, you saw a cupcake?

I'm reading this in my english class. I sort of want to print this out and paste it on the front of my binder now just so that I can confuse my teacher. Mwahahahaha!

You are? How is it? (I haven't read the book yet)

What would be funny is if the teacher actually understood your joke!

Considering how strange of a teacher she is, I don't think that would be such a far stretch. ^_^
