The Prodigal Pies Return art · 5:54pm Oct 21st, 2013
Since The Prodigal Pies Return is the first story of any kind I had finished in a long time, I've always felt like it deserved more than just a screencap from the show for its cover image. So I commissioned the inestimable http://viwrastupr.deviantart.com/ to make one for me. I may be a bit biased, but I think the result is beautiful. It's almost the kind of painting Blinkie herself would make of the scene, with the ponies around her blurred and indistinct (this was intentional on the artist's part and a request by me)... just her and a plain cake made by Mom.
viwrastupr is amazing at capturing ponies' facial expressions, and he shows Blinkie's mixed feelings about the birthday, herself, and her family perfectly. I couldn't be happier.
Also, Night Errantry is coming along very well. I'm satisfied with 5,000 words of the next chapter, with another 5,000 still in the first draft stage. It shouldn't be too much longer before I update it. Thanks for reading, everyone!
Very cool!
