When you find out your trainer was just toying with you.
I am sooooo sorry everyone. I’m sorry its taken 3 months for this to come out. My soul has been hurting its been so long. I’m gonna do my best to keep these kinds of stupid long breaks from happening again.
Anyway, a new page at last! And finally its of an action scene. The first of many. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from this page, I need to work on making the characters look more actiony. Though for a first run through I like how its turned out.
I actually had to rethink some of this page’s action because I rethought how Pegasi would battle in the air. After some comments from you guys and in depth thinking I realized that it wouldn’t make any sense to have Pegasi battle using conventional sword combat techniques. Their blades are on their wings, it’d be difficult to impossible to fight like that without plummeting to the ground.
So I got inspired by classic fighter plane dogfights and one scene from Fallout Equestria with Calamity and a gryphon chasing eachother. Pegasi would fight using swooping tactics. They would build up speed and then simply extend their wings out and slash their target as they fly by. And if the target has armor that won’t be penetrated, their wings would just fold up with minimal or no damage to the attacking pegasus. I think I’ll make a more in-depth lore piece on this subject later.
Or it is completely something else.
I think it might be the trainer who’s in over his head in fact, not peppermint. oh he’s worlds more skilled than her, but peppermint just went down, and when she goes down, she gets back up. period. he’s used to ponies who know when to concede, but peppermint’s kind of a… suicidal berserker. I can see him having to knock her unconscious just to keep her from hurting herself.
aside from that recruiter, I don’t know if any of these guards have had a chance to see just how disturbed peppermint mocha really is. I mean… a human might be able to just shrug off their calling, but peppermint’s a pony, and if there’s one reliable indicator of frightening levels of insanity in ponies, it’s cutie mark failure syndrome. what peppermint has is worse.
