I feel like I cleared a massive hurdle doing this sequence, but I was completely bent on doing it. It just shows such a lucid hint at what Dime becomes later and embodies his personality so very thoroughly.
Lonely Hooves - Page 1
(er, for reals this time)
OR “My birthday present to me”
So that only took me, what, a year? Armies are kinda time consuming, turns out, but I also kept changing bits and fine-tuning bits and I wanted my first impression to be really good, okay?
I promise page two won’t take this long. Also, pages 3 and 4 are the old pages 1 and 2 with some writing tweaks so hey those are basically ready cool beans! then a couple pages after that there’s a song and dance and that’ll take roughly until I die probably but hey you can’t blame a guy for putting his best foot forward on his crummy MLP fan fiction thing.
Gonna go crawl back under my rock now! ECCC is this weekend and I still need to prep. Whoops! Wish me luck.
Before and after.
If you’ve caught this before in a stream or something, I decided to up and shade it, which I think was a good decision. The Reaper side seemed outright incomplete to me without the gate acting as a light source, even though originally the Reapers were supposed to be a sort of ethereal, glowing enemy. Once I finished doing that on the right, it only seemed proper to give a similar treatment on the left with regards to the lightning strikes, Discord, and the army facing the gate instead of away like the other side.
I think I did okay, and it makes the scene look a lot cooler imo too. c:
I’ve started panel 4 and after that is just the big middle section that will take a million years and then LH page 1 will finally be done holy crap.
Check out this week’s page and I promise not to tie you to the front of a bus later. <3 <3 <3 <3
I’ve spent my last two Sundays crunch working on comics don’t judge me.

Interlude, rather.
Just a quick little heads up that HP is up and running again for the handful of followers here that care!
Boom is gonna make a Fionna and Cake 6 issue mini comic run. I’m really grateful that they’re giving me the opportunity to try to create a story for them….
Fionna’s gonna be getting a new sword! And Cake’s eyes are going back to blue!
I am *awful* with keeping up with Boom’s stuff and tend to get the first issue or two of anything Adventure Time related then miss one and give up forever (trades please). That said, they’re awesome and this is something I honestly look forward to.
