UPDATE: New Cover
Midnight Eclipse by labba94


They say that if you want to display the cover of your comic in your profile page, you have first to draw it. Such a truthful advice =P Here is the cover of "Midnight Eclipse", the series I've been publishing here on dA (still ongoing)!

Description
The way I wrote this comic makes it really different (if better or worse... it's not up to me to decide) from the ones I usually read: it privileges comedy and somewhere even cynicism even though I based the whole thing on a plot I hope you'll find intriguing... or, at least, worth enough to have you continue reading this thing. That's why I let the characters go a liiiitle OOC sometimes in their lines, even if it's something I try to put as little as possibile. And Pinkie Pie doesn't break the fourth wall, she destroys it and rebuilds it just for the sake of demolishing it again.

It seems like your already starting off your comic with alot of intrigue and not to mention a damn good title too  labba94, bravo.

For starters I really do like the look and feel of the comic here, something that the Mane 6 and their news friends are facing and having to look around the page to figure things out.  That itself says alot more then just what a guy with a gun or girl in a bikini could ever amount to, lol.

Either way I will say the potential is there in regards to the overall mystery of what this whole comic might be about.  Happen to like right off the hop that you go with some very interesting expressions on the ponies and nailing down the core elements of each one of them.  From Twilight being her bold kind of leader, Fluttershy shaking in her hooves to even the AJ and her just being ready for anything, you pick up on that immediately cause it shows you've taken good care of those character by noticing their personalities.

Can't help but laugh too when you mention that Pinkie Pie will destroy the 4th wall and strangely she isn't anywhere in the cover!  Granted the slight pink on the top right hand corner might be something to notice but then again so is the giant pony for all that matter!

And speaking of her, happen to like that as well for something new that you went with in regards of your comic here, a bold choice indeed.  Its either that or the rest of the ponies have shrunk down but in the very least it again brings up more questions for the readers and further drawing them into what the Midnight Eclipse is all about.

Moving along there is the rest of your work and hats off already to nailing the look of each and every pony but just as much adding in your own style to boot.  They look a bit more western designed you could say with the much less details in the eyes and even their look having that comic book feel in terms of how their faces and bodies look, its hard to explain.

But in the very least you seem well on the right track packing in so many of the ponies into the main cover and good on you for that.  Even the way you address the Mane 6 and their new friends in the foreground and the giant pony in the background was a nice touch as you want everyone to be pointed out in the picture even with the level of darkness covering most of the picture.

Its impressive, looks very well done and has that charm that only the right artists know how to do, good show here
