Didn't come out -quite- as I planned, but I still love it of course. Wanted Crimson to look a little bit more comforting, but hey.

"What's wrong, want a hug?"
"I... I don't know. Would you hug somepony like me?"
"Of course I would."
"But... why would you? You're probably the type who would only hug beautiful people... I feel... I feel like nopony could call me beautiful now."
"Hey, cheer up. I still think you're beautiful, okay?"

by Guest Thu Jul 18, 2013 9:12 am

Can't see it. Might be something on my end though.

by Kippershy Thu Jul 18, 2013 10:20 am

Nope, it's disappeared for me too. One sec, I'll put it back in.
Should be in now. Let me know if it disappears again. No clue why it did.

by Guest Thu Jul 18, 2013 12:53 pm

There we go. I can see it now.

by Ketchup Thu Jul 18, 2013 2:31 pm

That's quite nice. Good on you for commissioning it.
As of late, though, she no longer has the eye bandaged, IIRC, but it's not canon anyway.

by Kippershy Thu Jul 18, 2013 2:56 pm

I know, but the thing is, drawing her with half of her face looking like TwoFace... yeah

Spoiler:

It wouldn't be the easiest thing to draw and nor would it be the nicest thing to look at. Yes that does defeat the whole "you're still beautiful" point in some respect, but a lot more people can enjoy it this way.
Plus, like you say, non canon and this is my way to show Camo how I think he's a wonderful person.
When he said Charmer would appreciate such a thing, I knew it had to be done.

by Guest Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:14 pm

Kinda agree with ketchup. She's removed it and from what I can tell has embraced her appearance. Not to say it doesn't bother her I'm sure it does to an extent, but she doesn't hide it.

Hard to tell exactly how she feels about it but if I had to guess based on what she's shown I think she'd rather have someone sit with her and listen to the stories she has about the people she lost then to be told she looks pretty.

by Frost Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:18 pm

I got $10 on that drunk-as-shit gryphon archer being the one to listen to her stories and offer surprisingly profound words.

Then they both get completely hammered.

by Kippershy Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:24 pm

*shrugs* It's just a silly little bit of text I wrote up to go with it anyway, though you might be right.
I was just thinking because she's taken a physical damage that harms her aesthetic appeal and Camo did say that it was because Crimson is a stallion that it would mean the most from him.
(Which my guess is that although your points are very valid, she would also be wanting affirmation from somepony of her preferred sex to show her some affection and tell her she's not ugly.)

It may seem shallow to you, but I don't think you can really understand just how much the 'trivial' and 'shallow' things can mean to people in that situation. I've known burn victims first hand and although outwardly a lot of them acted like Charmer does, putting those problems to one side to try be the best they can for everyone else... when it was just me and them, sitting side by side, they'd ask me if I could still look at them and see them as beautiful because deep down, that means a lot to someone if you take it away.
It used to mean a lot to me and although I've let go of most of it, it still does mean something to me even after all my reconstructive surgeries.

I wouldn't say it's her biggest problem, but feeling (like she isn't) beautiful is definitely one of Charmer's new anxieties. I can bet money on it.

by Ketchup Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:44 pm

I wasn't trying to insinuate anything, I was just pointing out that it was inaccurate for what the character looks like at this point in the story. The meaning isn't lost.
Regardless, it would be difficult to draw her full injuries, which I do believe extend beyond the facial area as well.

by Guest Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:17 pm

Sorry Ketch. Read too much into your post.

I agreed. I did say it bothered her to an extent. But I'd bet money that if she had the option of bringing one thing back from shanty her appearance would absolutely fall at the bottom of the list.

Again while I'm sure she'd appreciate the compliment I think she'd much prefer to have someone listen about the snake that was like a child to her, the filly she watched out for, or the lover she feels she can never replace and isn't even sure she wants to.

I don't mean to lessen your experiences but I honestly think telling her she's pretty is a cheap way to comfort her in comparison.

by Kippershy Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:27 pm

Well I never said it would be the only way he would, but yeah, again, it's all just hypothetical stuff right now and I'm trying not to drag this out and make you two look like your nitpicking but I also don't want to make it look like I'm that guy either.

by Guest Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:35 pm

Also yes. Drunk griffon and Charmer, I get the feeling those two are going to have some fun interactions.

Sorry Kipp.

Too late for that now.
It could just as easily have been earlier when she was still covering it with a bandage anyway, given that it's non-canon. I do understand why it's drawn that way.
I just point out some small nuances because I'm a neurotic fool. My sincere apologies.

by **CamoBadger** Mon Jul 29, 2013 10:28 am

So yeah, this happened:

Not finished quite yet, but it's almost done and I thought some of you might like to see the progress.

by Guest Mon Jul 29, 2013 10:49 am

Awww. Tinker's cute.

by Frost Mon Jul 29, 2013 11:40 am

Felix needs moar book.

by **RoboRed** Mon Jul 29, 2013 11:51 am

^What he said. Spike

by Ketchup Mon Jul 29, 2013 2:21 pm

It's definitely nice, the finished product will likely be even better.

by O. Hinds Mon Jul 29, 2013 7:00 pm

Aye, it looks good.

by **CamoBadger** Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:03 pm

New chapter is at just over 5K words right now.

And as usual I'm worried about it, so hopefully I'm just being a paranoid derp.

by **RoboRed** Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:10 pm

What you need is more sexy Luna to calm you down. Luna

by Kippershy Tue Jul 30, 2013 4:24 pm

More like sexy Eos. That'll calm him down.

Sexy is probably not the word I would use to describe the eater.

by **CamoBadger** Tue Jul 30, 2013 4:30 pm

You people... I love you all.

ALSO! New chapter is in pre-reading/brushing.
It's a short one, with absolutely no action and a lot of internal thought, so I'm very sorry if it's slow.
I'm also sorry if it's horrible or I'm still a horrible person for what happens.

I'll update again when the chapter is released.

by Frost Tue Jul 30, 2013 4:36 pm

I will literally be on the edge of my seat. Blood flow to my butt will be severely impaired.

Camo pls.
Just calm down, okay? It'll be fine.

by **CamoBadger** Tue Jul 30, 2013 5:34 pm

And the chapter has been published. I hope everyone enjoys it, and sorry again for how short it is.
