Just a brief question cause I'm seeing conflicting info from online sources. The wiki, for instance, states that it was just a weeklong conflict until Celestia intervened

"The surrounding countryside flocked to the cause, until the state was in full rebellion.

The Equestrian Guard moved in full strength to crush the uprising, and a brutal, grinding week of combat ensued.

Princess Celestia, appalled by the violence and spiraling disaster, withdrew all Equestrian forces and fired the Captain of the Guard."

It also explicitly calls it the 'December revolution'.

But I found a dev diary that goes into much more detail, albeit from four years ago. This time, it's the 'Severyanian War of Independence' and it's a three-month ordeal.

"The next 3 months saw the Severyanian War of Independence, as the chaos caused a swift but confused response from the Equestrian Royal Guards and Duma loyalists, which the revolutionaries fiercely resisted. The entire debacle ended when Celestia, kept in the dark both by the duma and her royal guard, finally abandoned her hooves-off approach and intervened. Casting the battlefield into darkness, she forcefully stopped the fighting and for the first time went over the head of the Duma to listen directly to the Severyanians."

I assume the dev diary is more accurate, but does that mean if I call it the 'december revolution' most people wouldn't know what I'm talking about?

I'm afraid I still can't quite parse what makes a good division or not, so those up arrows make me feel like I should be training royal guards, but there's less battalions available to them in the actual division designer, so... would it be something of a noob trap to make an army of royal guards?

Hello. the attached images are some examples of the level of fidelity I would hope for when I say ‘sketch’. guidelines and stuff can all still be present, doesn’t have to be clean at all, etc. I actually drew them myself! But I don‘t have the time for art anymore, so I figured I’d like to try commissioning. The scope of the project is such that there are many different little chapters with a script written out, and it doesn’t all have to be in the same style, so I can hire multiple people for different chapters. Each chapter would be somewhere between (a number the bot won’t allow me to post)-50 panels at maximum.

Now, as for the price. I would pay you on a per-panel basis, via PayPal, or some other payment website of your choice. The idea behind ‘per panel‘ is just that I’ve been scammed before, so lowering the amount of money processed in a given transaction would be ideal. You draw me a panel, I give you the agreed upon money for one panel, trust gets established, maybe the next set is a few more panels, I pay you for those, and so on and so forth until the panels are complete. To incentivize completion, it would also be good if we agreed upon some bonus for finishing all the panels of a given segment.

How much per panel? uh, make me an offer, but you can take a guess by the totals in the title, if a given chapter has between (some number below 30)-50 panels. So let me know what you’d do it for, or, even if you aren’t interested, what you’d think is fair to better improve my frame of reference. The story is special to me, and I’d like to see the work done one way or another.

A little extra description of the work- the only real requirements are such that you can make the characters recognizable, and EXPRESSIVE. Sketchy, unfinished art is fine and maybe even desired so long as it’s emotive, and I can tell who is who. Some of the examples here include backgrounds, but you would not need to draw them unless we‘re setting a scene or its otherwise important to the overall composition of the panel.

So yeah. I’m half expecting to find out that my budget is way too low for the kind of work I want, but uh…. I guess that’s what I’m here to figure out.

update: lots of lovely offers! I’ll be reaching out to a few of you over email.

The Zistopia AU supposes a world more racist than the one presented in the movies, racist enough to put tame collars on predators. It is for this reason that it winds the clock back to the 70's, I think, to make it more of a civil rights allegory. But other attitudes come with that timeframe, and inter-species relationships are extremely taboo, making Nick and Judy's star-crossed love affair something to tiptoe around. Here, Finnick is suspicious of why Nick might be spending so much time with a rabbit...
