LUNA WITH AN ABACUS GENERAL

by Sethisto

I asked for a colored digital version of Drawfriend 89's Luna with an abacus from Progress.

And the winner is....

Technicolorpony!

Looks like he just beat all of you!

Also massive vector version here

And Alterform's Here!

Ad another from Opalwhisker!

Forgive my ignorance, but... what's with Luna and the abacus? Apparently I missed something.

Apparently the abacus blocks light. The table disappears behind it.

@ActionScripter9109Luna vs the Microwave and the other fics in the series feature an abacus Luna treats like her child. You really ought to read them.

@ActionScripter9109

It's from my fanfic Progress, a link to which is included in the post.

Thank you very much Sethisto, Drawfriend 89, Technicolorpony and of course everyone else coloring this fanart for my fic.

The updates won't come as fast in the coming weeks due to my new job, I'm afraid, but I'll try to get one last chapter out this week before I leave.

And Bigponymac would like to say that his body was not ready.

Which means he thanks Technicolorpony and the rest of you for doing this. :U

In the story "Progress; Luna vs.", Luna gets...very attached to the only abacus in Equestria. Up to the point where she starts obsessing over it.

I remember requesting this fanart in the Google Docs chat!

The abacus/table problem has been fixed, thanks to those that pointed it out (and Seth for uploading the fixed version so quickly) :)
Thanks for all the positive comments on my rush ink/color job and thanks to the original sketch artist.

As for the glasses supposedly needing to be red. Someone else can fix that if they want. I wasn't aware of it since I haven't actually read the associated story (though I will now!)

Illustrator is supposed to be better for static vector graphics, or so I hear.

I wouldn't know, though. I'm a real hoopy frood who uses Inkscape for svg's.

Is there any way to use Illustrator with Photoshop's layout?

Illustrator just seems like a jumbled mess to me, especially after 6 years of using only Photoshop.

I know someone already said this, but...

Man, it's gonna feel SO AWKWARD when we find out an abacus is nowhere to be found near Luna.

@Crimson Valor

No idea. I have neither the need nor the funds to acquire a copy of CS5. (Or constituent programs thereof)

Also, this should become a regular thing. Sethisto picks out a nice sketch piece and has us send in digitalized versions of it. Like a visual remix event!

And yeah, it's unlikely we'll see an abacus with Luna this season, but who knows? There's always Season 3 right?
