A very big thanks to the users in the community who provided feedback on the previous post! I learned a lot from it and look forward to applying the skills i have learned here to improve the other comic covers.
This is actually a pretty old comic I started doing, but I decided to revamp it. Here is Chapter 0 of the new one! Now, Tumblr tends to ruin comics' quality so I've split it up into panels, but if you want to read it in page format you can view it on deviantart. This is also the big reason why I haven't been posting art recently :'D
This comic was based off of initial concepts of Season 9's premiere, hence the idea of the "Elements of Disharmony", which were originally going to be a major part in Season 9... this was scrapped.(Along with many other ideas, such as the "Alicorn Homeland" of fanon becoming official canon, and Celestia & Luna retiring there, and other stuff too. It's actually an interesting read, and you can read about it yourself by looking through the Season 9 leaks)
Antithesis Six was about taking elements from these initial ideas and working it into an entirely new story. It was also because I hated how they ruined King Sombra (that was my main motivation. let me tell you, nothing ruined the King Sombra fandom like Season 9). Personally, I have never liked the idea of the 'Elements of Disharmony', but Antithesis Six is more than what I personally wanted, it was about giving the series a proper ending befitting its message in a way that would be more satisfactory for fans. And salvaging King Sombra. Mostly that.
Thank you for reading! Chapter 1 is about ~60% finished, and I'll be releasing it in two parts. Let me know how you guys feel about this so far, i'd love to get your feedback + questions.
The prologue scene actually wasn't in my first edition of antithesis six but i felt that zecora and luna are both pretty overlooked in canon so decided they would a) be the best characters in terms of context in this scene and b) get a good opportunity to shine here. I dont think we ever got to see these two interact at all in canon but i felt like they would probably have some connection. so boom! Zecora Luna best friends!! if i have time later maybe i can explore this relationship more. or in a future comic???
(btw please compliment me on that tree illustration in the panel where luna sighs. i Literally Copied it from a screenshot in the show but it took me ages please Enjoy It)
