>>/3874/ > this fic I am mostly pleased with. Partly as a finished product, partly as a stepping stone. out of all the stories that you have offered from the Bat Pony Cadence series, I feel that this piece stands for itself even though one would get really confused at how she managed to get there. > When I decided to put Cadence in I didn't originally foresee how she's change the atmosphere. Her charisma and confidence are a more developed state than the first fic that's for sure. indeed, she feels like really confident at what she does, she almost sounds creepy while asking those questions to Apple Bloom. All the mystery and imagery that surrounds her change the chill out atmosphere that is shown in the first part. > There was a second version of this though that I may reuse later that would involved another character and a debate on several different things but it felt chunky compared to Bat Cadence's chrisma and fear, which had a straightforward dynamic that I think works better for this one. I firmly believe that this dynamic works for what you could expose in these settings. If the concept of her being a bat isn´t twisted enough, imagine how things would turn out by exposing her even more. > I specifically had envisioned that with what I could draw it look good for a possibly creepy dream child like dream story, with using normal images from derpibooru for the parts back in real life. Several sets of images where made but the one problem that I constantly faced was Cadence's lackluster appearance at times. Her slender body I couldn't manage, at least with the hardware I have now. I get that, especially with lack of pictures related to her. There are almost zero pictures that involve Cadence and the CMC and none of them show Cadence as a mentor for the CMC. > I originally had it ready to post a fair bit eariler. Notice how most of the pictures are numbered till the end? I had taken the what I considered to be the best from all the image sets and numbered them in order of use for minimal confusion for posting, eeeyup. I will admit that not all of them are clearly defined but one gets to imagine the settings while reading the text. They are simply meant to give a clear idea where this plot goes. > I backed out because I decided I still didn't like the Cadences. The Cadence pic I used for most of the her appearances in some edited forms was actually a prototype asset that is from another ongoing project that I've been working on. She wasn't perfect but she fit hear perfectly and was better than the others you showed her true potential in the edit thread though Ironically enough, that´s the best picture one can get some inspiration despite not originally belonging here. Besides that one, >>/3849/ and >>/3855/ look as the better ones out of the bunch. > So I just used that pic in various quick edits and figured it already went well with the mix of styles anyway. There is still plenty I think I could've done better but I think I still managed to achieve an atmosphere with them so I can't complain. as long as those options offer solutions to your ideas, that´s fair enough. There is always room for improvement but as far as I am concerned, the writing style and the proper placement for its settings are what stand out to me the most for the experience and my views towards this product. The imagery will be or won´t be done better at some point in the future but if the words are properly matched and make sense, the rest becomes secondary. > Bat Cadence is far from dead. hopefully you are right.
