Hey folks. Sorry it's been a while since the last page. I know some of you veterans know I kinda have a procrastination problem with this comic and rest assured I'm going to continue and some day finish it. The past two months unfortunately have been a rocky one for me. Not that I've been too busy or that anything life changing has happened. I've just kinda been feeling unmotivated to do anything be it art or anything else. It's not exactly an artist block, just when I sit down to draw I get bored and distracted so easily. And I won't lie, getting comments on each new page begging or demanding for the next one doesn't really get me that enthusiastic, especially when I get a notification of that kind of comment every week or so. Kinda makes it feel like a chore or job that I'm not getting paid for rather than a fun little hobby and past time that it just so happens I can share with others who are genuinely intrigued by. I of course can't stop any of you from making such comments and I don't exactly wanna ask that you don't because while it CAN be a bit annoying, at the very least it still does confirm to me that I am making something that people enjoy. So it's kind of a double edged sword, and I'll take the good with the bad and try not to get so frustrated by it. I am truly impressed that anyone is even into this comic, I mean I started it a bit more as a quick joke cause I randomly thought about it while watching Willy Wonka. And now it's the reason I have the following I have. You can't really predict what works I suppose, so again, thank you guys so much for enjoying the comic and being as patient as you have been.


That's the bad news. Good news is, I think I have a solution to this motivation issue I've been having and so I've got a sort of side project for October that I'll be working on a bit, but while I do that I'll work bit by bit on the comic as well. I figure I just need to get the artist juices flowing again and just do it along with some personal art that might help yah know? So if all goes to plan there should be a new page within the first week or so of October and with luck I'll be back on track.


Again I want to apologize for the wait, I know it's annoying but I thank you guys for putting up with me. I just need to pull myself out of this apathetic pit is all and once I do, big things will come. Cause I assure you, I have no intention of stopping with this project yet. I've made far too many schemes and ideas, lead you all down so many twists and turns, it would be insulting to not give you guys closure. So stay tuned in October when Fluttershy and the Rainbow Factory returns from Hiatus.

So as some of you may be aware, 2019 is the last year they are hosting BronyCon in Baltimore. The event is next weekend and I dunno about the rest of you, but I for one am gonna be there! Sure I won't have a booth or anything but eh, can't win em all. I been meaning to make this announcement as I wanted to give a heads up to any of you who might be attending as well (in case you wanted to meet yours truly ;) ) though I do apologize for it being such short notice. I will mostly be in my Card Stock garb (look for the guy with top hat, red glasses and sucker in his mouth). Lookin' forward to it!


Oh and one more thing, if any of you have commissioned me in the past and are attending, I will gladly give you the physical copy of your commission. Free of charge of course, it is after all your's by right. So if you are one of these individuals, please please please let me know ASAP so I can remember to pack them.


See ya'll there.

First off I want to thank everyone who participated. For those who were unable to get their entries in on time, I'm sorry. Hopefully I'll be able to set up another contest at a better time where everyone has a bit more time on their hands as I understand October wasn't exactly the best time for this.

Honestly dude this was a rather cool poster. I really REALLY do like the way you did the evil eye and showed what happened to the two that have already fallen. This was not an easy choice for me as I debated a good long while on this. I know you also aren't that into ponies but it still makes me feel happy that you've found something pony related you can enjoy, and it just so happens to be something I made. Congrats man! 
:congrats: 




Second Place :bademoticon: goes to-----------

Cider HD by SmilesPerHour

As stated previously this was not an easy choice but after hours of consideration I made this decision. This was a rather clever idea of a potential fate for Pinkie "Zap Apple" Pie. It is both grotesque and rather comical, most befitting of a grimdark comedy such as my comic. And this is particularly so because I almost didn't expect you of all people to get this dark as it's not typically your thing. Again, congrats!

Hory Shet my dudes, I always hoped for some kind of music or animation or something relating to my comic some day but I never really expected this. The chills! I legit got goosebumps listening to this tune, particularly at the 42 second mark when the bell sound started. Gave me Nightmare on Elm Street vibes and honestly, if I EVER get the chance to get the chance to learn to animate or find someone I can commission to turn this comic into an animated series, this right here, this I can totally see as the theme song. Calm yet eerie. Dude,

Once again, thank you all who participated and congrats to our winners. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it and I know you all worked hard on these through conversations with you each. You all did a great job. To claim your prizes please send me a note regarding them (as this is much easier for me to keep track of) and I will begin working on them.


As for everyone else, stay tuned tomorrow for the premier of Chapter 3 of Fluttershy and the Rainbow Factory: Fears and Horrors.

Just like last time, your submission must be relating to my Fluttershy and the Rainbow Factory comic. Meaning any of the following are fair game:
:rainbow: Comic Book Cover Art
:rainbow:Fan Made Pages of the Comic
:rainbow:Favorite Scenes

:rainbow:Aappa Lossa Song Lyrics
:rainbow:Your Own Pegasus Device
:rainbow:Music For the Factory
:rainbow:Animations/Videos
:rainbow: Crafts
:rainbow:Fan Fics Pertaining to certain Plot Points (Dash's creepy eye, theories on the Aappa Lossas, etc) 

Really anything that qualifies as an art medium is up for grabs. Let your creative juices flow for you are not limited to just these examples either. So long as it's art relating to the comic, it's all fair.

So with those out of the way we gotta lay down a couple rules
