Marathon

Stacy headed back to camp. When she got there it seemed empty...and lonely. She didn't like the feeling, it made her feel worse than she already did. She sighed and went to her tent. When she went inside she saw her guitar, which she got at the age of 18. She took it out of its case and strummed it once and listened to the hum of the strings. She began to play and sang- Ive been trying to do it right Ive been livin' a lonely life Ive been sleeping here instead Ive been sleeping in my bed, Sleeping in my bed. So show me family All the blood i will bleed I dont know where i belong I dont know where i went wrong But i can write a song I belong with you, You belong with me, youre my sweetheart (x2) I dont think youre right for him Think of what it might been if you Took a bus to china town Id be standing on canal And bowery... She'd be standin' next to me I belong with you You belong with me, youre my sweetheart (x2) She then ended the song with a sad sigh and put the guitar down.

Yeah the cruise ship idea is good. But ill go with whatever we decide to do. Oh and Morningstar, you kind of made a huge mistake telling my OC about the accidental killing. Incase you havent noticed Stacy is sensitive. saying something like that is not the best idea with her.

Stacy didnt want to listen to them. She didnt care if it was an accident or not, he killed some pony and she just cant live with him knowing that. "Im sorry Yavolin, but i cant...i cant live you knowing that you killed some pony wether it was an accident or if you did it on purpose, i just cant." She then turned and headed back to camp with her head hanging low and her ears flat. "Im defiantly going to see little hop after this trip, im going to go insane if i dont." She thought to herself on her way back.

Stacy completely flipped out when yavolin landed next to her. "Get away from me!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. She ran towards Star for protection. She was trembling with fear when she reached her. "Run!" She yelled at star not sure if Yavolin was behind her or not.

When Star brought the book back Stacy panicked again and took it from her. She put it on the ground and ripped the pages out not caring to read a single one. Not a single page was left unripped when Stacy was finished. She then looked at star. "I want nothing to do with him anymore, i dont care what you say!" She picked up all the pieces, took them to the lake and threw them in the water. She watched as the paper got soaked and soggy.

While walking back a book fell in front of Stacy. She jumped from being frightened. She then saw Yavolin fly off. She looked at the book for a second, picked it up and threw it into the forest. She wanted nothing more to do with him, she wished she hadnt met him. "Star hurry! We need to get back to camp!" She called out.

Stacy saw Marisa come down from the air. She asked what was wrong. "I-i let hi-him sleep with me." Was all that came out. She was to shaken up and her mind was clogged with thoughts. She didnt even hear star say to take deep breaths. She began to walk back to camp slowly without thinking. It was as if she had become a zombie now, tortured by the thoughts of falling in love with some one who killed another.

Stacy couldnt breath. She tried to catch her breath but could. She began to hyperventilate. She sat down trying to calm down but what she just heard was still ringing in her head. After a while she finally slowed her breathing and was able to talk. "He...he..i....i fell in love with a murder!" She exclaimed finally able to say what she wanted to say.

Stacy was shellshocked when Yavolin said he had murdered some pony. She let go of him and backed away looking at him in horror. She then ran out of the forest not bothering to look back. She couldnt believe she actually loved him. She looked for star and found her. Stacy ran up to her in complete panic.

Stacy ran in after yavolin. When he stoped she stayed back a little. When he began to cry stacy felt bad for him. She slowly walked up to him and sat down. She embraced him to show him everything was going to be ok. She didnt like seeing him like this. She then saw the picture he drew in the ground.

Stacy folowed star to the lake. When they got there star was about to jump in but she went over to the edge of the forest. There Stacy saw yavolin and ran to his side. She was surprised when he snaped at star. "Y-yavolin, are you...ok?" She asked now worried about him.

Stacy replied, "Thanks, and yeah sure ill tag along. Let me just put this back and go grab a towl." She got back up and picked up the folder. When she reached her tent she opened the flap, put the folder down and grabed a towl from her bag. She then galoped back to Stars tent and waited out side. "Im ready when you are." She said with the towl hanging over her back.

Well i read all your comments and i have to say its not perfect. The shading is a hit or miss for me, in terms of the hind leg length its fine. You have to remember this is a filly so the legs are short. Clouds i thought about doing but i wanted to get started on my next picture. Yeah i could round the body a bit more like you said. I have learned 1,2 and 3 point perspective, i was just to lazy to actualy use it. But in the preview for my next one you can see the use of one point perspective, and ill be doing cross hatch shading in the picture as well. The tail and mane are fine (the mane could use a little work, im still experimenting with her mane). But over all i can see what youre saying, i never really see the mistakes until im finished. But im sure my next one will come out better. Thanks for all that help!

Thanks guys. Im going to post the rest of the pics on this thread so if you want to see the alblum grow just hit the folow button. Here is the finished product. I didnt add much more as i was pretty much done plus i want to get started on my next one. The title of this piece is "Spring Garden" and i will not take request to color it, i prefer black and white anyways.

This is the first out of the many pictures im going to draw for a new alblum im making (a picture alblum). This is based around my OC, Stacy, filly years. I hope you guys will enjoy and implement criticism into your post. Of course a "good job" is always welcomed as well. I will post the next picture in the photo alblum here so if you want to see those just click the folow button. Enjoy! -Marathon

"Yeah i know but ive been working on this for a really long time and i havent goten to get a group of ponies to play it with me." She said getting up to go grab the music. She exited stars tent and went to hers quickly grabing a folder. She sprinted back to stars tent and set down the folder. "Well here it is, i hipe you like it." She said letting star read the pages.

Stacy handed star the tin foil. "Sure we can jam tonight, i actualy have some sheet music with me if you want to take a look at it. It has violin, flute, and a few other instruments. We can play it tonight if you want, but theres no singing part." She said getting ready to go and get the music from her tent. (OOC the song if you look it up on youtube is "Here and never found" by ray lynch)

Sure! I'll definatly do request just send me a demo pic to my email (removed if you want it just message me instead) and ill be more than happy too. Just besure to tell me who it is on the email so i dont flip out and just delete it. Alright ill get those done soon. Thanks ponyworld. Hey, just thought id post this and see what you guys think of it so far. This is Stacy in her Filly years.

Stacy giggled. "Little Hop is one of my friends back in ponyville. She actualy my therapist too. Her real name is Lissa but she goes by Little Hop or just Hop. She actualy got that nickname when she was little filly and couldnt fly. So she would flutter her wings and jump and she would glide back down." She said finnshingn her sandwich.

Stacy laughed with star and blushed a little. "Well in terms of repaying me, im actualy repaying you." She said cheerfully. "That ocarina you gave me is more than enough, you dont have to give me anything back. This is my gift to you." Star hugged her and she hugged her back. "Well you can thank Little Hop for me being so nice. If it wasnt for her i wouldnt have given a ticket to any pony here."

Stacy got really excited. "The tickets i bought are special offer tickets. After the show we get to actualy meet her and get front row seats to the show." She started jumping with joy. She was so excited that star wanted to go with her. The tickets were expensive but completely worth it.

Stacy chuckled, "Well even though i dont have a job now, when i was a filly i would go around helping ponies out so i could get my cutie mark. It turns out that i ended up helping so much they started paying me. I did this for a few years never spending a single bit on anything. I actualy have almost 3000 bits saved up from all those years of working. I just wished ponies would remember all the hard work i did as a filly and hite me anyways. But ive been saving all of those for a concert tickets to octavias concert next week. But yes i would like you to come with me. And guess what the best part is!" She said waiting for star to guess. Shes not going to believe what she was about to say.

"Canterlot? How is it there? ive never been myself." She said taking another bite. "How often do you go, id like to tag along some time if you dont mind. I also want to go to the Grand Galloping Gala some day, id die for a chance to get to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." She said eagarly. "Oh, ive got tickets to Octavias concert in a week if you want to go with." She asked hopeing star would say yes.

Stacy walked in and sat across from star. "Yeah thanks." She said taking the sandwich. "What were reading?" She asked not exactly sure if it was a good thing to ask considering what had just happened. She took the sandwich out of the foil and took a bite of it.

Stacy flaten her eats in disapointment when he said he was just going to the lake. She sighed, "You can go, im going to go talk with some of the others. See you later..." She wanted to say more but went against it as she didnt want to drag out the whole thing if it wasnt neccessary. She then head over to Stars tent and tapped lightly on the door and poked her head in. "Hey, mind if i come in?"
