Possible Butterfly Final

By no means is this episode a masterpiece in artistic ability, but I think it went through some major transformations from the rough drafts you saw previous.

It went from the plot being derived with Zephyr in more of a worrisome and urgent tone to him being relaxed. We changed all the text and .... possibly for the worse... made it more wordy. As you know, I like the "less is more" mentality when it comes to writing. You show visually, not through words. But we did add some depth in Fluttershy asking about the pond, which gives the reader a sense of permanence... and realness to it. Apparently her pond leaks often, which is why she is asking.

Zephyr blossoms a bit in "Possible Butterfly" by revealing to his sister the picnic she never got. An alternative version was going to have him say, "I know this isn't a picnic with your friends... but it's something." She would then respond and say, "it's better... because it's with you."

Personally I like the version of the text we didn't use better but we may use it another time.

You can see some things remained the same. In panel one, Zephyr is still peering around Flutter's door, but we moved away from the perspective of her being close to the camera. Panel two is similar in that they are both still walking to the location. Panel three is the most similar, they both spot what Zephyr has done.

Thanks for following everyone, and thank you for the super month last month! You are all superb!
