Essenza di Amore 5 year anniversary, Happy 2020, and I can't believe I just typed either of those · 1:51am Jan 1st, 2020
Hi, guys. As we bid farewell to the decade that brought the vast majority of us together, and look forward to the ones yet to come (may they be blessed), I want to share something lovely with you.
As many of you know, I've often touted that the best story I ever wrote here was Essenza di Amore, the half-canon based story I created to give the Loveliest of alicorns her own personal, heart-felt origins. Critics and readers seem to agree with me on that, as it is easily my most well-received effort of all time. I won't waste more words explaining why I feel this way because I've done it so many times already, and the many comments, blogs, and reviews that exist talking about it speak for themselves.
But there is something I've had in production on-and-off for the past 3.5 years, and after many hurdles, this project has finally come to fruition, just in time for the 5 year anniversary of EdA's release here.
Fillies and gentlecolts, I present the official EdA Prologue comic strip, in full colour: Cadence of Her Last Breath.
Words cannot describe how wonderful it is to finally have this project completed. I am so thankful to Zorbitas (formerly on deviantArt, now on Instagram) for composing the sketches and colouring the first six panels; and my friend Denise, who did the cover art for Dear Princess... and recommended the artist who would go on to complete what Zorbitas started, Bailey ( https://www.facebook.com/EluDraws/). She did her best to emulate the style of Zorbitas and I'm very happy with her work.
Now that this comic is complete, I've been thinking about releasing EdA as a physical copy... would anybody like that? It would of course come with all the art that has ever been produced, including that of Ayemel and Silfoe in years past. I have no idea how to go about this at all, but if there's enough interest I'll look into it.
Happy New Year, everybody.
