When asked about her friend big mark, Grace started talking about how he's big, and strong, and handsome, and big, and strong, lives on a farm, and handsome...
We thus suspect he is big, strong, handsome and lives on a farm.
Full name : Grace Harmoney
Daughter of Prof Harmoney, Grace has adopted his creations, Princess and Luna as her daughter and has become there Mummy.
Above all, Grace loves her little pony daughters and will do what she feels is best for them.
Full name : Luna Harmoney
Luna is the latest addition to the family. Created to be a life long companion to Tia, unlike her sister Luna was not made in perfect laboritory conditions and started life younger and smaller as a result.
PLOT TWIST! Actually Mark hasn’t been changed back – for some reason he got stuck halfway, Grace was only able to change his head back, so now he looks *really* weird… 😛
BTW Shieltar, if you ever feel like setting up a Kickstarter to get this Birth Of Equestria published as a print comicbook…I’d fund the heck out of it.
Sorry Shieltar, I think I’ve started something here. xD
If you do, I’d be happy to go back over the comics from the beginning to check all the spelling and grammar for you. Just for the excuse to enjoy re-reading them all again. 😀
the 1st book would be the hardest to do as there is a lot of work in it. for example, it contains the only uncoloured pages, the most spelling errors, and most of the pages are non standard sizes. So a lot of work to get it print ready. Which if that was the only consideration, I would be fine with doing.
But then there’s the legal question…
At what point does copyright ownership of characters stop? and have I differentiated enough from the shows design that the inclusion of Tia, Luna, and other show relevant plot points is not a problem?
Would I have to get permission from Hasbro?
Because there’s no way I can imagine them being OK with the less than subtle hints that Grace and Mark are… eh hem… together…
This is why I monatize as the artist and not the comic directly.
I mean, if you want T-shirts with a picture of Grace on the front and her wings printed on the back, I could deffinately do that no problem. She’s 100% mine
Ohh, oh crud, yeah. Using a pre-existing character would almost certainly infringe on Hasbro’s copyrights, unless you could prove that your versions of said characters (namely Tia, Lulu, and l’il baby Discord) are substantially different from their forms in Hasbro’s copyrighted materials. Which you probably couldn’t, as they would have heavy legal backing and you wouldn’t.
Still, it would be lovely to see this in hardcopy – and perhaps there may still be some loopholes, such as you receiving money from fans for your artistic skill, and giving away book copies as a *free* thank you gift. The money isn’t for the book, so you’re not making any profit of someone else’s copyrighted property…it’s a grey area though, I dunno law that well.
(Ironically, I’m gonna be studying corporate law from next month, but only relating to accountancy. xD)
Sadly due to said copyright concerns, BOE will not be issued as a hardback, unless someone who’s an actual RL lawyer can tell me if the differences I’ve made are sufficient.
New chapter hype! Looks like Mark finally got changed back. Also, Luna is super adorable.
Well, if there’s a timeskip before each new book…

Yes.
oh nice, glad i checked in when i did
this chapter looks like it’ll be interesting
I suppose Grace is homeschooled due to the fact she can’t hide her wings
It explains all that in the comic.
Mermaid Mark 😀
Also, good job on the umbrella! I’m amazed at the detail.
Now I want a mermaid Grace… I mean, if she can shapeshift, that wouldn’t be too much of a stretch…
Introducing the hippogryphs?
Mark is definitely being set up to become ‘daddy’ to the alicorns, isn’t he?

THE HECK, I SAY. 😀
Hmmm. I will think about it.
Think faster 🙂
I wanna see this offline

I think even a RL lawyer would start by saying first contact Hasbro about this. Of course, they’d probably do this on behalf for you.
Seaponies already?
