FLIGHT OF THE ALICORN CONCEPT ART!
*
In my book, you guys are 20% cooler than other readers!
Hi everyone! The final chapter will be finished soon, but in the meantime, I just want to thank you for the enthusiastic response to the penultimate chapter. You're the best!
As a treat, I'd love to share with you some concept art by my incredibly talented illustrator WizardWannabe. I strongly encourage you to leave him a comment letting him know how awesome he is, because he's put some serious sweat equity into this project, and it wouldn't be where it is today without him. For that matter, it wouldn't be where it is without you all either, so here's to you! Cheers!
Now the art:
1. Windlass, Procyon, the Heavenstone
Did you ever wonder what a rocket-powered, mechanized faux-alicorn looks like? Were you having trouble picturing our pink and blue villainess? Wonder no longer! I really like her mane! (and cutie mark!) Also featuring Blueblood's lousy brother and our magical McGuffin (or is it?) the Heavenstone. By the way, did you know a Windlass is a piece of equipment used on boats to raise the anchor? And she's a lass whose special talent involves windstorms? That's soo rainbow!
2. Airships (Refresh, griffon warship Gromm), Zebras (Zinzi and Zips) and Gatling Guns
What does a fruit-corporation's semi-airworthy racing ship look like? How about a giant griffon warship? All that and more await.
We had a few different ideas for the cover art before settling on the current design. Perhaps you like on the rejected ideas, or perhaps you think we made the right call.
* Rainbow Dash: a pony with speed, a trust fund, coolness, awesomeness, radicalness, and daddy issues
Wow, these are breathtaking.
....I really need to settle into an apartment, you're probably getting tired of waiting for those audio samples.
Getting closer, I promise!
Totally awesome, are you actually printing this when it is done like Past Sins? If so how can I preorder?
Damn... I'm most impressed about the airships, particularly the Gromm since I'm working on an idea for an Equestrian AirWarship, TEMS Queen Eir Ianuaria, Third-Rate AirShip-of-the-Line
I watch you then moments later get a post? I
you
Damn these are amazing.......hmmm would I need to ask you or him if I were to go at an attempt to make models of these?....yes I actually like the story and thier design enough to do this
*cough* ehem
And don't worry I'd give full credit and everything when I posted pics....
Waiting for these to load is a pain...
This is some pretty amazing stuff here! It is pretty obvious a whole lot of work went into making that crazy awesome piece of cover art.
Wow. You guys obviously both put a ton of work into this. I'd love to see this stuff included in a hardcover copy, wink.
Looking darn good. Might have to get this book if it is available in the UK
Man, love me some concept art and this is fantastic!
Thanks for sharing sir!
Ah... yes. At long last, the concept art.
And the Fandom Rejoiced.
