Shifting Changelings Lies & Truths

Princess Luna watched a nightmare. A nightmare about a changeling that seemingly lives hidden among other ponies...

You may have noticed that I haven't published a comic page in a while. Let's make it short, I lost my motivation. I tried to do the next two pages, but I just can't do it.. :/

tl;dr: I'm going to stop drawing the comic. If any artist likes to continue it, please message the writer (Graeystone @ dA)

I have always hoped not to get to this point cause I hate to fail and disappoint everyone who put their time into reading or translating the comic. And honestly for like the last year or so this was the only reason why I still did pages. There are many reasons why I lost my motivation. One is the fact that I'm a rather slow artist. I noticed that such a huge project nearly stops my progress. I rarely had time to practice things besides the comic, other works and the rest of my existence. Another reason is that the story did some turns that weren't planned when I estimated it's complexity. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but as I said, I'm a slow artist >.<. These are just two reasons, I'm sure there are many more that I'm not aware of. Thanks alot to every reader and every translator. And I'm really sorry for everyone who I disappointed. This doesn't mean Shifting Changelings is going to end this way. If you're an artist and willing to take on this project, please message Graeystone, the writer. Also, I can help with art related information and the comic's Tumblr blog.

The comic goes on!

@moemneop: Sorry for the huge delay. I’ve been working on my final thesis all day for the last few months with only few chances to work on the page. I should be able to go back to my normal comic schedule after this month. Anyway, I hope you like the page!

Graeystone: There's also Derpy's concern of the Alicorn Sisters and Chrysalis. Dinky being hurt and/or killed in some horrible fashion by the latter. Dinky finding out her mother is technically an Eldritch Abomination. . .surprised Derpy hasn't had an emotional/mental breakdown. . .YET!

[shiftingchangelings]

@moemneop: A heart-warming page for Hearth’s Warming season? Still, it makes me wonder whether Derpy-Changeling actually feels for Dinky or just fakes it...

I’ll try to finish the next page for early January!

[shiftingchangelings]

@moemneop: Here’s page 45, sorry for the delay again xD

Also thanks to everyone who joined the little raffle! I couldn’t really decide for one character so I did a random choice instead. These characters got in: @williamsstrider, Skyjoy by Gargon99, Fetch by Fetch26291 and Valiant Flame by PhoenixFlambe

For everyone else: I’ll probably do this again if I get another chance to include characters ;)

@moemneop: Yeah, I know that I forgot Octavia’s tie in the last few pages -.- I’ll leave it like this for the rest of the cafe scene, let’s just say she removed it :P

Also, the next page will be released in two weeks ;)

@moemneop: This blog just reached 2000 followers a few days ago (that’s more than twice the number of my art blog x’D). Thanks alot for your support, really. I had a long time of doubt and low motivation for this project since last summer, but the fact that you seem to like it motivates me to continue ;)

On another note: I will be at GalaCon next week and I’ll bring the last three print copies of Shifting Changelings Part 1 (including one I had reserved for myself). I will give them away for free, just find and ask me (I’ll be wearing my Lukida badge).

[shiftingchangelings]

@moemneop: Sorry for the delay again, it was probably the last time I had to prepare for an exam.

Graeystone: . . .hrm. . .about a Pokemon reference- *Vinyl uses SURPRISE GLOMP!* *Derpy is SUPER EMBARRASSED!*

@moemneop: The next page will likely be released in a week. I'll try to keep a 1-2 week schedule.

[shiftingchangelings]

[shiftingchangelings]

Graeystone: So starts Part 2. Things will start to really pick up as the Alicorns/Chrissie begin suspect Derpy. More of Derpy's past as a Disguised Pony will be revealed as certain characters will be unexpectedly be caught up in what is happening. All this will lead to. . . well, I can't say what!

Anywho, keep reading and enjoying Shifting Changelings Truths & Lies!

@moemneop: I did a short summary for those of you who forgot what happened in the first part: https://sta.sh/0ruvgqprtk5 :P

Expect page 36 in March!

I got the first part of Shifting Changelings printed. The copies I ordered turned out really well, close to ‘real’ comic quality. Totally worth the money after all that effort I put into drawing it xD

Anyway, I’ll have 3 copies left which I’ll give away for free at the conventions I visit this year (I’m sorry for those who can’t be there >.<): Hearth’s Warming Con (Netherlands, next week, up to two copies) and GalaCon (Germany, this summer, whatever I’ll have left). Just find and ask me there, first come first serve :P
