Dusk Quill


I once was lost, but now I'm found. Just a quiet blue unicorn with a passion for the written word.

    My Journey

    So I've finally set aside the time to sit down and properly write out a blog post for you all who are still around (the one I promised in my last post seven months ago :twilightsheepish: ). I want to tell you all about where I've been, what I've been up to, and share my journey with you guys. You were all around for some of the best times, and I felt it's only right to open back up again and

    Well Well Well...

    Holy hell, that's a lot of notifications to look through! I suppose that's what happens when you disappear for... *checks watch* three years. Huh... I suppose it's been a while, huh? It would be shockingly rude and unprofessional if I was to just suddenly turn up again out of the blue, wouldn't it? Yeah, I guess it would...

    A Soldier's Memoirs Spoilers

    For anyone who read my last blog and doesn't want to wait around for me to maybe finish the Soldier's Memoirs series, I do have the entire plot mapped and outlined. If you would like some closure, some answers, or just a glimpse into what awaits, send me a private message with the title: Will the Sky Fall? and any questions or comments you might have. I'll be happy to provide

    I'm Sorry

    Over the past week or two, I've gotten messages from several of you guys asking if I was okay, if everything was all right, and just wanting to check in on me in general. I wanted you all to know that I was really touched by your concerns, and that I am just fine, but it also made me feel guilty. I'm sure you can guess why... I haven't written any new material for well over a year. I haven't been

    Dusk is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad pony...

    I have apologies to make to all of you. It's been close to six months since I had any activity here on the site, and even less for my friends outside of FiMFiction. I feel I owe you all an explanation and my deepest, heartfelt sorries. I am still alive, if just barely by now. These last few months, I sort of bit off more than I could chew with life. I took eighteen college credit hours in an

Skyfall News · 3:11am Jun 24th, 2014

Prepare your bodies...

Special thanks to a real life friend studying graphic design for the pro bono teaser poster! Expected release of this will be sometime early July. Proofreaders on the Retribution project will be given the roughs within the next week, give or take.

I also commissioned an artist (since I have no artistic ability myself) to do something nobody's done yet: a portrait of the Skyfall team! I gave him my stories, general descriptions of the ponies, and let him go to work. This was the result:

I think it's pretty badass and awesome myself. Finally, a visual representation of the ponies we all know and love! Aside from a discrepancy with Blue Shield's cutie mark (which the artist very apologetically said he'd correct quickly), I think they're pretty spot on, given that I hadn't actually created color schemes for most of them.

Talk to you all when Retribution arrives!

With friendship and magic (and kickass art),
DQ

Ahhhh my backlog of stuff is only going to grow.

This is excellent news, most excellent indeed.

Wow. I've never seen an oc pony with guns pic nearly as great as that one. Finishing up under a luminous sky right now so I can get caught up on skyfall in time for this!

This is AMAZING!!! :pinkiehappy:
Cant wait to see Fleethoof again :derpytongue2:

Now we finally know what everypony looks like! :pinkiehappy:

I'm excited. Let's see this shipping war finally come to an end. :raritystarry:

Oh. My. Yes.

We shall eagerly await this glorious tale.

-That Hooded Fella

Oh. My. GOD! that's awesome! :rainbowdetermined2::pinkiehappy:

Can't wait for this story.

But wait,

The War Ends July 2014

???
Does that mean the series will be over? :fluttershyouch::fluttercry::raritycry::raritydespair:

You'll have to wait and see. :derpytongue2:

No, it's really not. A huge part of the story will be concluded though.

Is it just me, or does something about Cupcake look just...perfect? ::duck:

Also, a never expected Fleethoof to wear 'cool guy' shades. :rainbowderp:

Kudos to artists across the board, though!

Something seems wrong here... I can't view the images.... :ajbemused: dumb computer...

Phew, so glad. I don't like endings much, especially with series as good as Skyfall. :pinkiehappy:

I'm excited! Are you excited!? I'm excited!

I have no idea when I'll be able to read anything (much less continue writing) since life has gotten really busy with work. However, I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us! :twilightsheepish::twilightsmile:

Well this is nice. Dumb computer got smarter and now lets me see the pictures, and man oh day are they awesome.
