For today’s Diane Art here are anthro animal versions of Diane and Spotlight, cause it’s always handy to have a back up plan in case Hasbro sends you a cease and desist. The one with Spotlight as a Wolf was done much earlier in the year, the one with her as a mouse was done more recently (I prefer the mouse version myself).
I probably will do a new series at some point with these versions of the characters, but that probably won’t be for awhile (the current story I have has a bunch of ideas that only work within the MLP universe). Let me know what you guys think of these versions of the characters.
Diane’s new outfit has actually already been decided on (in fact you can see it now by becoming a $5 patron), but I thought it would be fun to have a little contest. Diane will be trying on some various outfits in the next update and I want you guys to choose which ones she wears, you can either design them yourself or send a reference photo or picture to my submit box.
You just need the following two rules:
1. The outfit must cover Diane’s flank so that no one can see her cutiemark. 2. No purple (Diane hates purple). 3. Please keep the submissions to one per person.
The top 5 best ones will be included in the next story update. The due date for submissions is midnight EST January 3rd, 2018.
Also to celebrate the end of 2017 the ask box will be opened up again (not sure for how long, but it will definitely be longer than just a few days).
This is a new feature of blog I like to call “Diane Art”. Every week where there isn’t an update I’ll post a bit of art I’ve done featuring the Clone characters. This is so I don’t burn through the updates I’ve already done so quickly and so people will stop asking if this blog is dead.
This piece of art here is based on a dream I had where Diane actually appeared as a canon character on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. In the dream I was watching a new episode of MLP where a few of the characters go to Manehattan and Diane was in there. Diane was animated in show style (wearing the outfit seen above with the first set of colors) and chatting with the main characters. While part of me was worried about the legal problems that might come out of this I was just so happy to see Diane animated and hear her talking.
I also did a few color variations on the dress to see how it would work with black (That’s Diane’s favorite color).
Bonus:
Later I noticed how blank Diane’s expression looked in that first drawing, and I realized it made it look like she was suppressing some rage. So I made this:
For those of you curious, Diane hates purple because it reminds her of Twilight.
First off I want to apologize for the lack of updates in the past few months. I’ve unfortunately been busy with college which took up a lot of my time. The good news is though I’ve graduated now. Yay for me!
Going back to Clone let me assure you that Diane has always been on my mind, I have a ton of stories that I want to tell, it’s just that I haven’t had much time to work on them until now. Though I’ll be honest, Clone isn’t gonna take up all of my time, unless I get enough donations via my Patreon to do so I can’t make a living working on a fan comic. Now that doesn’t mean Clone is going away, it just means I’ll also be dedicating time to finding more freelance work as well as working on other projects. In fact I’ve just recently hired to work on a webcomic for the Roan RPG website (it’s a small gig but it’s a start).
As for the future of Clone, I actually have a post finished and ready to go (which is viewable on Patreon now if you’re curious), however I want to wait and create a backlog of posts before I begin posting again (I’m aiming for either a weekly or bimonthly schedule). As I am speaking the next few updates are in the process of coloring and the next chapter script (which is the biggest and most ambitious so far) is pretty much done.
I’ll also try to tone down how much I signal boost stuff like my patreon, commissions and stuff by my other artist friends on that blog (I’ve noticed I’ve been overdoing that lately and I apologize).
Overall I want to be able to produce quality content more consistently for my fans. I am very thankful for all of my followers for sticking with me this look throughout this extended hiatus.
So until next time here’s a cute drawing of Diane in a dress.
For those of you who were wondering about the status of this blog. Also the next post on this blog will feature a new comic page, that I can assure you (Unless some emergency happens. Which is unlikely.)
