This is the lead in to the Ponyland arc, in which I'll be shifting the narrative POV to Sixx and Trina (or Red and Black Knight I should say). I'm either gonna turn the colours up to eye-searingly neon or a soft pastel. I'll determine which is better suited for the arc when I get onto the colours for 208. My aim here is to keep the story flowing through visuals without getting too bogged down with dialogue which I have a bad habit of. Fingers crossed I can pull this off.
Lastly, I know it's bad form to share too much of my own life here, but since it does directly impact my work on the strip I feel like I owe transparency. I've been trying to get myself off my anti-depressants (sertraline) for the past few months, resulting in some fun times. After talking to my doc and my partner, I'm opting to stay on them permanently. I'm a fair bit more level right now which has helped me work through the latest bout of art block.
Anyways. I thank y'all for being so patient and understanding with me all these years. It's really been a rough ride the past several years and I would be in a far worse place without y'all supporting me. So again: Thank you. I'll see y'all in a day or two with inks, and the finished product this weekend. Love y'all~

I'd third pastels; I think you can get a lot of mileage with them-- though honestly it matters more the vibe you're going for- it might be interesting to turn the saturation up around the borders to show it's a distorted vision of what's really going on.

I wonder if the "Breed" command for ponies is allowed to stablesisters, or only BS are had right to use it?

Seconded, possibly with some mild textured blending behind the linework to hint at distorted perceptions.

I'd wonder is pastels may work to show their being under Blackstone's control due to a certain level of suppression of their wills. You could go to the brighter colors at such times when Blackstone or the others are POV.
