| PONYVILLE NEWS CRAWL: THE CREATOR SPEAKS; ECHO EFFECT ADDED |
[Mar. 24th, 2008|08:34 am] |
Hello, Ponyville readers!
It's clear by now that I do not know what the future holds for the Ponyville comic. I don't want you to assume that this prolonged hiatus is writing on the wall, that the comic has gone the way of Roo's youth. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ponyville is not yet snarling at passers-by, weilding a broom, losing its teeth.
Also clear, what's keeping me from updating is not easily circumvented. My creative energy and time has to go towards finishing school with my music degree, and a coming summer internship. (Couldn't I intern in Ponyville? But on second thought...)
As you know, I've been conflicted about whether it's best to give the comic the mercy killing that Roo never got. But I've decided that's not going to happen. I think I can figure out a way to let the comic evolve into something enjoyable and manageable.
I've discussed, with friends of mine who create comics themselves, doing an overhaul of the PV format. Perhaps a refocusing of storylines, but certainly a change to how the comic looks. It will likely get a bit sketchy (literally!), but I welcome this, and hope it won't be a jarring change for you.
I want to sincerely thank you all for sticking with Ponyville. Unless the majority of journals still watching the comic are now abandoned, many of you are still here, and I am encouraged by this!

Today's strip was subject to an experiment. Comics usually take 10 hours, on average, to complete, but I wanted to see what I could create in only half that time, maximum. Visually it's notably more rough, and my perfectionism is tingling, but I'm hoping to find ways to make updating consistatly an easier endeavor.
("The Fourth Wall" is the imaginary boundary beween and audience and the characters on stage/television/etc.. When a character turns to the "camera" and addresses the audience, that's called "breaking the fourth wall.")
*And of course, please break my walls with comments. ;) |

Happy Halloween from Ponyville!
Behind the cut is a list of who's wearing what!
( Bubble, bubble, toil and costumes )
Who has the best costume?
*Comments greatly appreciated! I am not Trick or Treating tonight, but I would be if people handed out comments instead of candy! Although that might get your house egged by kids, but screw'em! ::knocks on your door:: |

I posted a comic Friday afternoon, which was an odd time. Check back in the PV journal if you missed it. :)
For today's strip, harken back to the erstwhile first-gear Cotton Candy Cafe storyline: click here to read it.
*As always, comments and feedback are very much appreciated. Don't make me do the comment dance, because you know I'll do it! It looks a little something like that "have to pee" dance. OK, fine.. ::stands up and starts to shuffle:: |

Another one-panel; I'm getting comfortable with one-panel joke phrasing. :)
Everyone seems to love unicorns. Except for the citizens of Ponyville.
I'd love to hear back from you about the strip, or the comic as a whole. Feel free to leave a comment here; they are greatly appreciated. :) I am to comments as The Hamburgler is to hamburgers. |

:D I'm so glad to be posting a strip again!
*As always, comments and feedback are very much appreciated. Especially after such an obnoxious hiatus! Let your comments be the bridge over my troubled waters. Let your feedback be the spear that slays the troll underneath that bridge.
Commission nonesense:
I am in a bit of money crunch (let's just call that crunch "2006.") I know several people have wanted commissions but couldn't afford them before; if you are interested in a commission, mail me at spoosh @ livejournal.com (or post here) and we can work something out that satisfies us both! :)
Also, I have another custom commission auction up on eBay currently: Check it out if you want colored artwork for cheep! |
