My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Comic Issue #1 Fan Art by Moon Flower — Progression %(2016)%

Animation that shows all the snapshots, including the ones I didn't think were worth posting on their own, plus an additional coloured version.

The coloured picture was mainly just a test to see how it looks. It also spawned a stupid animation idea I had which I combined with the music of a specific YouTube video on gifsound. The video is unlisted by now, so it doesn't work anymore.

Thanks to [Cru](/profiles/CruFox) for telling me how to do .gif animations in GIMP.


> About This Project
> Back in 2016, I planned to make one picture to each official MLP:FiM comic issue. I actually made several scans during the making of the first drawing and never published them. The pencil drawing has been created over the course of 3 months and it was very frustrating to me. It took so long due to medical conditions (OCPD, MDD) which makes me strive for unattainable perfection while being low on motivation and energy. On top of that I'm a bloody beginner, not having much experience, and it takes a lot of effort to get to such a level without practice. I never came back to this project which was left in a halfway coloured state. The whole experience made me lose my motivation for making art almost completely.


> About The Comic
> The first issue of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comics is the first part of a four-parter titled "The Return of Queen Chrysalis". In short, changelings either trapped the ponies or turned them into zombies. The plan of the main characters was to pretend being zombies and one specific panel showed Applejack, Spike and Fluttershy facing some changelings. I wanted to recreate that scene but zoomed out with a full line-up of the main characters.
