Several weeks ago, I was watching one of my favorite anime: a series of OVAs called Karas. Think of what might happen when you cross Batman with the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Mix with a lot of blood and add plenty of dazzling animation, and you pretty much have Karas right there.
Somewhere down the line, I started wondering what MLP would look like if it was made in the art style of Karas. Then, I started wondering if anybrony on dA or FiMFiction or any other place had beaten me to the punch.
Nothing. No My Little Karas, nothing.
And that was when I realized I could be onto something promising here.
Last week, I started laying the groundwork for what is possibly the first-ever crossover with Karas and FiM. (Well, I dunno about a crossover--the way I have it thus far, its like Karas with ponies, but eventually I want to put enough elements of my own in it to where it can hopefully be something close to a stand-alone work of fanfiction instead of some rip-off of a fantastic work of animation.) Anyway, at the time of posting, I've got two rough chapters and a modified screenshot from the OVA that I probably won't be using as the cover art for very much longer (because I can't hardly draw for *squee*), but in the interest of completeness, I'll be posting it here too.
Here's a synopsis of the story:
And attached is the poor, poor excuse for cover art I've been rolling with:
TL;DR I am in unfamiliar territory; is anybrony willing to offer me some suggestions here?
