Equestrian City Comic Project!

We have been tossing around the idea of making a comic now for about half a year.

Alot of things would be involved, mainly funding from the fans. The artists we use are not free, nor should they be asked to work for no compensation.

For the most part we fund domain, concept art (around 70 pictures now!) And other monitery elements of the project including artists salary and commission costs come out of DarkMalcontent hedge fund. Which isnt really a hedge fund. And less of a fund. More of a paycheck each week :p

So we threw together a basic concept for everyone interested to read. It's on our newly revamped patreon and here's the text in its entirety:

Equestrian City is a fanmade multimedia project spearheaded by DarkMalcontent - bringing the excitement of the superhero genre to the beloved Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls fandoms. Set ten years in an alternative future where the battle with the sirens took a turn for the worse,

Equestrian City takes a look at a variety of the serious issues that befall those we care about in the aftermath of tragedy while also bringing some high octane action and quippy dialogue.

This non-profit fan project has been going strong since the release of Rainbow Rocks with an ever expanding team of amazing talent across multiple mediums so that the story can be enjoyed regardless of your favorite format - including literature, comics, radio plays and animations.

There’s a lot of work involved in a project like this. Your support helps fund the artists and editors, as well as gets production on a more consistent schedule. And the more you support, the more you can see what goes on behind the scenes. We also have plans to expand our story into formats that anyone can enjoy such as comics, radio dramas and beyond.

Our talent includes the artistic mastery of Moon Pearl, Trail-Gazer and Anton, the amazing voices of Wubcake and DSHooves, and the veteran storytellers AlisiaLanet and Brawny Buck.

The first story arc would center around a small series of comic pages. These would lay out origins of each of the Mane 7. From there, if we kept momentum and funding, we’d dive directly into a story arc from the many outlines we’ve got ready to use! Popular story arcs from the golden, silver and beyond age of comic books would be the inspirations (The Skrull Invasion, The Crisis in Infinite Earths, Flashpoint, Infinity Gems, Civil War, Symbiote Wars, Maximum Carnage, ect)

We’ve got a lot of ambition and we can’t wait to share that vision with you. Your support will help this process go much quicker so we can bring you the best possible story - regardless of your favorite format. We have a main website with our wikipedia links, our fanfiction collection and other goodies (including our discord server) at EquestrianCity.Com For more details, including the wiki and staff links!

Any questions fire away!
