Description UPDATE, March 24th, 2016:  Here is the full video here.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9gH5h…


------------------------------------------------

I was commissioned this past weekend by the one-and-only MLP-Silver-Quill to do some Title Card art for a very interesting animated video he has coming up.  The preview can be seen here.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=N29WXh…

I will link to the actual video, once it is posted this weekend.

Truthfully, the notice for this commission was rather short, as it needed to be done in time for St Patrick's Day, but I was happy to do it, as it really seems like a fun project. 

I wanted to portray each of the Brony Reviewer characters displaying each of their unique flavors of cartoon craziness, which you can see fully realized in the actual video.  XD

Hope you like.  Now... back to my other collab.

one thing is why didn't the heroes in this video just use mirrors or reflective shields to make the cocatrice look at their own reflections so the cocatrice turn themselves into stone

I really don't have the time for requests these days.  So if you want me to draw something, it has to be by commission.

Tell it to Silverquill.  He's the one writing the scripts.

Also, I think the understanding is that Celestia restored everyone in the end.

Wow, impressive and detailed portrait that you made here!
I really love hoe all looks and how you represent all characters in this kind of scene with different movement, expressions reaction and all.
Seems that there's a big chaos! But well, give a great impression this when you see that, gave some impact and also this looks awesome!
I love hoe you made all effects and all details in the characters and all. Looks great, all very laboured and amazing.
I love it, awesome and splendid job one time more. .la: Is always too cool can see something new from you, I really like your art!

It is!

However, what is currently posted is just the preview. 

The actual video will be an animation by Reverie in the same vein as "A Brony Hearthswarming", and "The Shipping Game".

It's a comedy animation that's supposed to be fully posted some time this weekend.  Hopefully soon. 

SilverQuill, a horse-famous youtuber you may have heard of, has written and organized this project.  I did the above thumbnail art. 

The story is loosely based on the legend of St Patrick driving serpents out of Ireland.

But I will leave it as a surprise for this weekend.

Celestia should have called my stingray OC.  Could have gone in blinded (and therefore immune to the stone stare) hunt the beasts down by their electrical impulses.

Or, better yet, let the mismatched abominations of nature have of taste of their own medicine at the petrifying paws of Crunch the Rockdog.

Starbat In reply to al1701 [2016-03-18 15:08:33 +0000 UTC]

Haha.  Yes, that would be a fun and apt callback.  ^_^

Of course, the critical factor there is making such a premise into a comedy.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

al1701 In reply to Starbat [2016-03-18 22:53:08 +0000 UTC]

Maybe play it like the Muzzle attack from Road Rovers.  Let Crunch loose and focus on the analysts getting sick and commentating on the carnage.

And does it really need to be a comedy?  Can't it just be a cathartic curb-stomping?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Starbat In reply to al1701 [2016-03-20 18:10:26 +0000 UTC]

I think it needs to be a comedy.  Comedies can be quick and punchy in their execution, allowing for animated shorts like this to be feasible for a fan group to produce.

An adventure or drama story would require too much time and development to build up the more serious emotional payoffs that would make them worthwhile.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "curb-stomping".  SilverQuill and Co are mostly comedy people, so this is right up their alley...

al1701 In reply to Starbat [2016-03-20 18:53:38 +0000 UTC]

They are.  Though, I think they've gotten a little too self-aware that Dustykat always wins.  Maybe he should lose immediately in the next one and it be a shock to everyone.  "Dusty lost?  But he always wins!"
