My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Comic Issue #1 Fan Art by Moon Flower - Colouring WIP (2016)
 
As people wondered about the partially coloured version at the point where I gave up, here it is. Left to be coloured are the rest of the deep forest and the bushes, the middle parts of the mountains, the muffins, the muffin box, and the shadows.
 
I have to note that the scanner botched up the colours a bit, especially Pinkie Pie’s hair which turned too dark, the sky which isn’t a more or less uniform sky blue anymore, and the cloud and the mountain tops which aren’t completely white anymore but ended up with a blue tint.
 
About This Project
Back in 2016, I planned to make one picture to each official MLP:FiM comic issue. I actually made several scans during the making of the first drawing and never published them. The pencil drawing has been created over the course of 3 months and it was very frustrating to me. It took so long due to medical conditions (OCPD, MDD) which makes me strive for unattainable perfection while being low on motivation and energy. On top of that I’m a bloody beginner, not having much experience, and it takes a lot of effort to get to such a level without practice. I never came back to this project which was left in a halfway coloured state. The whole experience made me lose my motivation for making art almost completely.
 
About The Comic
The first issue of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comics is the first part of a four-parter titled “The Return of Queen Chrysalis”. In short, changelings either trapped the ponies or turned them into zombies. The plan of the main characters was to pretend being zombies and one specific panel showed Applejack, Spike and Fluttershy facing some changelings. I wanted to recreate that scene but zoomed out with a full line-up of the main characters.
