[Part 1 - Rook]

[Part 2 - Crabapple]

[Part 3 - Luau]

[Part 4 - Rose Petal]

Part 5 - Winter Willow <==== You are here

[Part 6 - The Garden]

[Part 7 - The Fall]


This one took some serious work. About 30 completely new OC ponies in varying degrees of distress. Oh right...

WARNING - This comic is a bit severe. Don't read it if you want to spoil your good mood :(
Note that I don't intend to get this grim often, just that considering Nightmare Moon collapsed large sections of the castle and who knows what else, it's likely there were some serious injuries.

A few things to note: There's a pegasus in the rafters who looks pretty upset. Her name is Whirley and she's a cameo from this comic: [link]

After reading that heartbreaker, I always wanted to give that poor little pony a hug and now I have :)

Also, Rose is invisible for the entire duration of this comic. At the end, the pony observing believes that Willow is running away screaming. She also makes a snide comment which is a hint to the political landscape of the time (healing ponies don't think much of "emotional healing").

Lastly, I'm enormously pleased with myself. This turned out very artsy and awesome in parts. It was mostly an accident that I thought of some of the arrangements and effects, but I think they turned out really well!

Oh... lastly, lastly: This was actually supposed to continue beyond this point, but the comic would have been too long and it already took an extraordinary amount of effort to do this much so I'm going to stop here for a bit. The next comic will have Celestia again :D

IMPORTANT! The thing in the tubs is soiled bandages. That's why they're cleaning them over by the river. They're not organs or some of the other things people keep asking me :)

ALSO: The pony with the paper in her mouth is looking for a pony with that cutie mark. Before you ask if she ever found her, here's the answer: [link]

I really like that you gave them unique personalities :) Most people would have just kept the mane 6 personnalities, which would not have been interesting at all

Definitely. I very specifically didn't want carbon copies, they had to be unique while still having their element. Though people get Rose and Willow backwards a lot because of it :P

Hm. I Sorta wanna say that

Rook is Loyalty
Crabapple is Honesty
Luau is Laughter
Rose is Generosity
Winter is Kindness
And Celestia is Magic.

I only think of that based on the yellow boxes, when they talk about the person. And then after typing the above, I relised that the spices of each element matches up with the main six if I'm correct. Although, I have not read the rest of it, so I have no idea if you mentioned who is what element later on. Guess I'll find out in a few! :3

Yup. The idea is that each of the current elements is a direct descendent of my elements except Celestia to Twilight of course, but that's explained in my "reports" series: [link]

Yes. After veiwing more of your pictures with the characters, I see that. I am very intrested in reading the Twilight AND Luna reports, however, even though I wish to do that now, Sleep is nessacary. I will read those when I can tommrow. :heart: I'm loving more and more of your work, and I hope to see more!
