A german guy doing his best to tell the tale of the Trail of a Shooting Star. If you like it, why not join the Ranger HQ group for possible sidestories? Or hunt for references?

    Where the heck was I?!?

    Yeah, I know... This shit takes way too fucking long. Well, I had my reasons...

    First thing, I've started my own company and had very little time for anything pony related. Can't write about ponies when I'm out in the world working, that's a given...

    Book 3 Chapter 2 ending rewritten

    I was reading through the comments lately and read the comment of Tenth. At the time I originally wrote the chapter, I deemed it a better idea to do this in order to establish something between AJ and Tyler, since he has something special with each of his herd mates, so why not being the submissive one to her.

    Dead? Nah... Alive and kicking!


    Odd... I thought I was in charge of my own fanfic. Unless I say so, the story isn't dead.

Some visualization today... · 8:44pm Apr 3rd, 2016

In other words: Art time!

After some years of a break in making drawings, I wielded the pencil once more.
Took me an evening to make and I simply just sketched the first thing coming to mind. What I was drawing? Well, that requires something more of explanation. I was listening to music and all of a sudden thought about bat ponies and vamponies... So the muse kissed me and I had to shape this idea into form. So here the music responsible and the art.

I imagined taking a stroll through Castle Ensanglanter and how vampony mares and stallions trot down the streets, showing fangs while grinning at one. But then I wondered: What does the castle actually look like? Yes, I wrote it down to be gray and have a few hundred torches on its walls to light it up in a hellish gloom, having several towers and being surrounded by a maybe bottomless pit, but other than that there is little to be described, at least from Tyler's point of view from the bridge he was standing on. And this is not enough to see beyond the castle gate.

It's rough, I have to admit and if I would be a greater artist, I would have come up with more than this box-design. Then again, carving out a second Minas Tirith out of this would not have been done in one evening. The castle is half embedded into the rock formations, so chances are high that it stretches further down into the rock than visible on the picture.

Hope you enjoy it and that's it for today, have fun! :twilightsmile:
