I never came around to finish the colouring due to a list of issues which dragged down my motivation in doing art, yadda yadda.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy this piece – even if uncoloured – and some day the coloured version may be completed too…

This is my second MLP piece and is quite a step compared to the Fluttershy drawing.

I took the first comic issue from the MLP FIM series as inspiration and reference.

You might recognise a bunch of elements from the actual comic – there is no tracing involved, though.

The original comic panel shows a zoom-in on how Applejack, Fluttershy and Spike are scanned by two changelings, one of them being a fake Derpy Hooves.

I expanded the view to include all characters which were involved in that scene.

This required me to do something about the scenery too, unfortunately the comic didn’t provide many references for trees, grass and bushes – in short, vegetation.

I had to include Pinkie’s hilarious, maniacal smile; she was the first character I drew followed by the changeling next to her.
