Pip Off the Old Block

WELL............THAT HAPPENED......I probably should go add cutie marks now.  Last time you'll see any art without Cutie marks on the CMCs.    Know what....I am surprised just how much of the CMCs I have been making this year.  I mean this is just really weird cause I usually don't draw them up a lot but this season they have been getting a lot of spotlight.  This was just another one of the CMC comics that....surprisingly took a good bit of time for me to make.  Was nice to make filly stuff again....bringing back a lot of filly stuff in the off-season as usual.  Muffin doesn't have a lot of hiding spots in this so....it should be easy. 


So yeah the EP was basically the CMC helping Pip get elected.  Elections my friends....that was where I was taking this comic.  My original plan for this was to have....well you know that Obey meme poster you see flying around here and there these days.  Well I originally wanted to have that as he poster....but the color scheme would work so I decided to scratch that and make my own type of banner that flows with the BG and such.  Surprisingly I had a little bit of a hard time on these BGs.  They were so simple they were hard only cause I had to figure out what else to add into the BGs besides curtain and random stuff on a town hall type BG...using that as the bare base of the stage.  I did pull off what I wanted but damn this comic took a lot out me me to get right. 


So there you go.  Amazingly this is the most ponies I have added into a comic in about 3 years.  Making 8 different linearts on this took me 3 days alone on this and mad did that 3rd day drag on.  Luckily got this done but man what a pain this comic turned out to be in the end.  Severely underestimated this one.  Well...time for the next comic. 


How I did it: Paper then Photoshop CS6
