Description

My take on the ATG's Week 20 theme: A pony solving a mystery. I drew the original sketch in just under an hour, complete with all of the details, while sitting in class. Then I sat down to do ink and paint...

Three and a half hours later I had a loosely passable picture. The idea itself was pretty simple; pinkie pie lying in a pool of raspberry jam with two investigators looking on and commenting about the tragedy. This evolved a bit as I moved forward and ended up adding a few more elements like the Applejack color clone back there that I've decided to call Snapshot. I also vastly improved the background elements.

That said it still has many known issues that I don't have any patience left to fix, such as the perspective error on the back wall; low contrast between the island and the back wall, and an odd Pinkie Pie orientation (it doesn't match perspective.)

i thought that was blood great work! who knew so much sugar can cause you to faint dood. so uh are you a boy or a girl? just curious dood it likes like the show you have very great drawing skills unlike mine <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f…" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)"/> well maybe that's cause i'm in the sprite biz rather then drawing dood. very creative how you used the raspberry jam to look like blood though my little pony is a kids show though i have nothing against it. do you why critiques are so so so f***ing long well i think i get it though i am not a premium member so uh
