Description
Yay! My first well-done comic!This took SOOOO long, but I think it turned out... well, DeviantART worthy. Ignore the lame background in the last panel, my computer couldn't handle the huge file.
At least I now have Zecora's body memorized.
Welp, tomorrow I'm off to Ohio for camping/Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Then right when I get back I have high school registration. I'm fairly scared for high school, being a freshman and all.
I would like to thank Danny Elfman, John Powell, and whoever wrote the Gaston song for mindlessly getting me through this work with music. Danny Elfman for the Spider-Man theme (original film, not the new one) and John Powell for the song "Test Drive" from How to Train Your Dragon. Without music I would hate life. O_O
But, yeah. I'm very glad I'm done with this! XD
----
Done using a Wacom Bamboo Tablet
GIMP
Too many layers to count
Hand-drawn on paper, then scanned (excluding last panel, did that completely with my tablet)

she's not rhyming... why isn't she rhyming! SHE'S A SPY!

I made a horrible attempt to make her rhyme in the first panel, 'cuz she's talking to Twi. Lol I'm a horrible poet.

oh some poems don't need to rhyme!
don't worry, non-rhyming poems isn't a crime!

I had a hard time choosing between whether she would say "excellent" or "fabulous."
Obviously excellent won. XD

Ha! I never thought of that line in Pinkie's song before so not only did this make me wonder "What the heck IS evil dancing anyway?", it then answered my question. Then I laughed. Great work!

Thanks so much! ^_^
Yeah, I've been searching for a punchline for awhile, then I remembered how ridiculous Pinkie looked doing the evil dancing, so I decided Zecora would look amazing doing it too.

If your highschool is anything like mine... you're going to love it.

I hope so. ^_^ I'm a bit scared, I'm not the most outgoing person (when I'm around my friends I am, though), but I've joined the Anime Club and the Breakfast Club. How could I say no to free breakfast and reading books?

O.O
Ditto on that outgoing part..
In fact...
Before highschool I was a mistrustful recluse, only seeing the worst in people...
But yes, free breakfast is awesome

XD Yeah, it is.
Like your avatar, btw.

Aw, thanks Cat!
Zecora is actually fairly easy to draw, it's just her bangles that screwed me up a lot. It was super hard to get those straight.
Also, her cutie mark. I hate her cutie mark. It's so hard to draw.
I think the reason she turned out so nice is that I would draw a few things seperately, then re-size it to fit in the correct area, like her eyes.
I only wish I was good as people like Toxic Mario and Veggie55, though! Doing this I learned that I can draw comics, I just can't do the punchlines......
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No way! You can totally do punchlines! ^^ I laughed! When I showed it to my non-Brony brother, he couldn't help but laugh too.
Re-sizing is what I do. Only for eyes and wings though, but it still helps a ton
And seriously, this is totally show-worthy. I'm not even just saying that; it really is!

Thanks Cat! Seriously, it means a ton! I try to follow the show as much as I can, but there are always small slip ups: like Zecora's muzzle is too small, her tail to wavy, etc. Especially in the last panel; I had to use a Pinkie Pie screenshot as a reference and just re-draw it as Zecora. But having a Tablet makes everything much nicer and stuff. ^_^ I love mine so much! Though it is starting to get a bit glitchy, but I must say I've handled it a little roughly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I still think it looks awesome ^^
And I totally agree with the tablet, it's really fun to use. Except, I find it impossible to sketch on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ugh, I know! The last panel I knew I wanted to do a sketch because I didn't want to have to scan something in again. So I just tried my best, and in the end it turned out okay. I think it's cause her muzzle is different than normal ponies. But I can't sketch humans or ponies on my tablet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference in the quality of the background in all three panels. All of them were awesome. And man, when I just decided to do a small sketch of Zecora, that muzzle was HARD!
But I know a lot of people who say they can't sketch on their tablets, so I bet it's just cause it's all digital-ish thingy stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, and you can rotate the page and stuff with ease. I can't do that easily on my tablet (it takes awhile to load it when I rotate). But now when I sketch I'll screw up and my fingers will actually do the movement to press Ctrl Z, which is kind of embarrassing. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O.O I thought I was the only one who did that! (the Ctrl Z)
Before I had the tablet, I was so used to flipping the page 'round and everythang. When I got my Wacom, though, I kept turning it, not realizing there was a perfectly easy and simple way to turn the picture on the screen *facehoof*

I know! It's so easy to turn the page when I'm working on small files (like just single pony drawings and stuff) but in the case of this comic (which was a extremely huge file, I couldn't wait to upload it so I could delete the thing) it would take five minutes of loading to flip and turn. It was a living nightmare.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I hate when that happens. My computer is starting to get clogged up form all the ponies I've been drawing, so when I complete something I email it to myself and put it on my iPhone so I still have it when I delete it off the computer. And lag is my worst enemy.
