Beginning: A Dash of Peppermint Cover

When everything falls apart, what do you do then?
__________________________________________________________

We have now reached the best parts of this story!

Tried paying more attention to composition and color choice in this one.  I decided to do away with the cross hatch shading, it worked pretty well with the pure black shadows but on these it just looks odd and unnecessary.

I've begun referencing the comics I have, looking for the things I've been learning and trying to figure out how each element adds to the story.  I'm finding a lot of parallels between comics that seem to be standard for the setup.  Among those consistencies is text size, its always really small.  Which explains why the past couple pages seemed really crowded.  I'm downing the text sizes, this should allow me to start putting more detail into the backgrounds when its relevant.  

Only three pages left for this part the story people.  Look forward to all of them being out before May is over.

They're afraid. Her parents are afraid of what could come of her branching out. Why are they so afraid?

Honestly speaking man.... More than likely the neighbor next door would set these idiots straight.

"So you are getting pissed off at your daughter making an amazing new sign, out of wood you were not using, because she 'bakes?'. What schoolfoal bully idiocy are you spouting? That is what a bully who is trying to tease ponies cause they are immature and lacking all sense of self assurance says, not parents! You should both be ashamed of your actions. Now i am gonna go round town and tell everypony of the amazing sign your daughtar made."

Cause in equestria, cutie marks are not something restrictive. You lose nothing with a cutie mark. Your world opens wide. Unless idiots get in your way.

FloofyFoxComics In reply to Lordoffantasy [2017-05-19 19:51:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, most of the neighbors don't even know this is happening.  Pepper and her parents get up early to get ready for the day and make up their pastries and such.  The sun has literally just started to crest over the edge of town.  Anyone one else who'd be up at this time would be getting ready for work or getting ready to open their own shops.

Well, there's actually no need to do that.  As they stated the morning rush will start soon as ponies stop by to pick up breakfast.  And their cafe/bakery is positioned perfectly so that most of the commuting ponies pass by it.  So yeah, everypony'll be able to see it no problem.

Very very true.

Well put!

As to that last bit, just as an example, I think we all know by now that RARITY'S actual talent ISN'T sewing ot fashion, but rather being able to find gems and such.
THAT'S her TALENT.
But, as everyone knows by now, her PASSION, fashion and design, is what she does for a living, and does very well.

I wouldn't mind HER walking up and putting these two idiots in their place.

Also, I halfway expect/anticipate Twist screaming that she hates them for being shortsighted ingrates, or something similar in the next few pages.

OR telling them off in some similar manner.

Oooh I like that example!  Very well said.

However, the only caveat with that is that this town is not Ponyville.  I probably should've specified that but this is a town like Ponyville but is located to the East of Canterlot.

adamlhumphreys In reply to FloofyFoxComics [2017-05-20 05:12:12 +0000 UTC]

Well, I have to say, they're certainly "expressing" a high degree of ineptitude at the moment. Unless perhaps, they need to rig back up the old sign immediately because they planned on using that wood on this particular day. Because otherwise, any sensible person would simply leave it as is for the moment, gauge other's responses concerning it, and attend to the matter accordingly later, be that replacing it with a different wood/sign, or simply buying more wood, (even if it isn't cheap wood).

I see it's painted. If the paint's good, it should last a long time even without warping. (And even longer if it goes in storage. )

Such an amazing comment!  Such great words!!  MUST REPLY!!  CAN'T!!!  WILL GIVE SPOILERSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Seriously though I want to comment on that, but it would require going from another character's perspective and giving away pieces of the puzzle that are not yet ready to be revealed.  

The second bit I can talk about though! ^v^ Yuppers, she learned some good tips from a pony who makes a living making signs like these, so she made this thing to last!

Thanks!  Well the idea is that you guys the audience are seeing this through Pepper's eyes and from her perspective.  There's just been a level of difference between how you guys have seen the situation and how Pepper has been seeing it.  That is about change though.

Oh, Well I"m just going to go with that idea, because it makes me feel better.

As it stands now I honestly dread reading every new page for fear that I"ll just get super pissed and not enjoy myself at all, But I do anyway because I just gotta know what happens next Xb

Alrighty then, just keep that in mind though because Pepper's ENTIRE backstory is from her perspective.

And don't worry, this is just the start of her story, there'll be plenty of uplifting and good moments don't you worry about that.

You are right, it doesn't mean she's a baker for life, but she does have a talent for it.  You could even say its her, "special Talent".

She doesn't have a baking cutie mark, that's a mocha, technically that's more useful to run a cafe than a bakery.

Honestly? The most dumb-flank parents I've ever seen. Better parents either would not support the ass-mark as one and only truth, or would find a better way to herd the child into obeying the friggin slavery to the picture. Absolutely NO reason can be given to justify such behavior.
