Scootaloo's Scootaquest Discussion

Well, the characters shown have some interesting depth. It'll be interesting to see how you add to it.

[Captain Ridiculous]

It's understandable. It's just... Cliffhanger. So much left unsaid.

Changes in the AT&F series? Like the backgrounds and stuff?

I do want to finish it... maybe in a lazy drawn way.  I have many panels for the next episode ready to be released, some in rough stages.  I could always share to you guys what I have I guess.  Or at least a few slides.

Yeah, thats some of the stuff.

You won't know directly what I do and don't do.  Thats the magic.   I don't want to be noticeable.  The comic is meant to be seamless for people to enjoy.

You answered a lot more then I was thinking you would.  Thank you for doing so. 

If you do ever share some of your art, I would love to see it. 

[Death Blossom]

I think even if it was rough stuff your fans would appreciate a conclusion or at least a little more haha.

But yeah, thanks for answering our questions.

I've gotten so many messages... It is ridiculous.  I want to give them something.  I will see what I can scour for you guys real quick. 

[Death Blossom]

Aw dude really? You're honestly too kind to us weirdos.

[Captain Ridiculous]

Here are three panels in no particular order.  They are not finished, final expressions are not on the characters, well not all of them, ad shading, etc, all needs to be done as well as final writing. 

The image with Cuffs and Trixie, the background is not done, Cuffs is a placeholder image of him, but that was to show me he is going to be placed there.  Trixie is near done in that shot.

The image with Cuffs and Brass, is near completion.  Shading and final stuff needs to be done as well as text bubbles.

The image with the exterior shot of Lake Altai is very rough.  Lots of shading and ponies are to be added to it.  It is a background scene. 







You "weirdos" are nice though.  

[Rainberry]

No way!!!  This is so cool!  You actually did have stuff done!   I can't thank you enough for sharing these.  I feel lucky to be here right now. 

Did I ever mention how much I love Sergeant Brass' graying hair.  All the cops were really good, and the backgrounds.  Trixie looks awesome. 

[Death Blossom]

Eeee, more Officer Cuffs haha. But wow, things getting heated! I find it really cool to see behind the scenes how you put together the comic. Really cool stuff man.

Totally not weird I ship him and Star Dusk right?

[Captain Ridiculous]

Totally not weird I ship him and Star Dusk right?

Thank you both.

You did?  Hmmm.  You never know...

I had a Star Dusk pic I was working on about 5 months ago... I wonder if I should pick it up again? 

[Rainberry]

What made you develop Officer Cuffs, Brass, and Star Dusk so much?  I mean, usually some cops containing people would just be purely background and disposable. 

[Death Blossom]

They just seemed like the most senior cops, I don't know why. Also, they're the only ones really seen "interacting" with each other besides Brass.

Oooh really?

I felt it would make the reader be more involved in the story if they got multiple perspectives of the situation, and lets say someone didn't relate to Scootaloo.  Maybe they would relate with a different characters like Applejack, Lyra, or one of the background character OC's?  As I said, I love character development, probably to a fault. 

[Captain Ridiculous]

They were higher ranking officials, despite their "officer" names.  PPD was a small department, and for some reason, they didn't have a ranking system... well... I didn't make it to begin with.  I just hoped no one would notice they didn't have titles except for Sergeant Brass, who was not actually the police chief. 

I wanted a strong female lead in Star Dusk, and I wanted Brass to be strong, but with faults.  He needed Cuffs, Star Dusk, and others to make him a great leader.  Good leaders aren't good on their own.  They are as good as they people they surround themselves with.
