The Thought that Counts

Oh here we go again.  It's back to the episode comic grind of a long season of comics and stuff for me to do.    It's gonna take a little bit to get into the groove of making normal ponies again cause I been making so many filly and teenage type comics in the off-season it will take time.  This was one of the comics yes I began LITERALLY when they first announce the season 7 episodes of the first 4 episodes back in February.    So weirdly enough this comic has been sitting on my computer for nearly 2 months and I just opened it a couple days ago to add a couple of details and stuff I never added for some dumb reason.  Muffin is in this. 


So I will say this....I don't mind making Starlight and Celestia...but damn I really hate making these 2 characters.    It's more so Celestia has a weird body shape and is so much taller than any of the other ponies and I rare make her except ones in a blue moon as an adult.  Starlight is just annoying as hell with her mane.  That mane is so....precise in the way it's shape is that I struggle a lot to make it half-way decent like it is in the show.  It's just a freaking mess.  I will say that weirdly enough you can tell which Starlight I did first compared to the one I did last.    The first one is a little bit more....off a little but the one near the end I got a more better hang of it and I think that one isn't so bad at all.  As for this comic....tell you the truth it's one of those ones I kind of took the synopsis and kind of just ran with it into stupidity.  It make totally not sense compared to what EP 1 is about this season but that's where I am trying to mix it up this season.  Some will be a little more toward the synopsis and some are sooo blandly generic to give me anything to work with I will just weird the hell out of it.    Play it as we go as you will see.


Anyway that's all I got on this comic.  Not a bad start to the season with 2 normal EP and no a full premier.  Little different cause they never did that before so far in the series.  THe main thing I wanna see if just how they go on with these character arcs this year.  I think a lot like the CMCs I think are kind of dead and I just want almost 0 EPs with them in them cause personally they really can't go anywhere with their story anymore i see.  The big one I still see is Fluttershy or even AJ cause those you can still build on with more of their story and their arc of what you can say was their original stuff...I guess.    Rarity, Twilight, Dash, and Pinkie pretty much have established their careers so their arcs are done and now in a sense are now into what I call "the career arc" as in this is in a sense story like we saw with top bolt that revolve around their actual job and situations that arise.  It's gonna take some good writing to make those EPs all good.  As I tell people...I don't hype myself up for seasons in the past....instead I go in with almost no expectations (unless a synopsis sound so damn good you know it will be good) and I let the EPs prove to me what they can do.  It's a different era and show these days so I always like to see if the show can prove my expectation wrong of an EP going in.    Onward to EP 3 comic next week.
