It seems that daylight has not yet died, but instead of making this place more bearable it does the opposite, exposing its hostility, discouraging anypony brave enough to get this far. And as the journey must continue, the terrain claims another victim, earning its fame and alluring more travelers foolish enough to think they are able to pass it. Forsaken marshes are just one of many allies of the Plague.

This is so brilliant, the swamp, the trees (again you're so good with the wood), the wild growths feeding on decay. And that apocalypse pony figure, being the plague itself, wielding a sword. The riders are here, they roam these lands. And I can't wait to read that story, and to see it illustrated by you. Awesome work!

Thanks a damn lot!
You've described the mood as awesome as always~ 
I'm clearly not a good writer, neither am I good in grammar... I'm afraid to really get into the writing because I'll probably fail >_> I'm trying though!

Like every skill writing requires practice, so please go on trying. Your ideas are awesome so for me it is only a matter of time till you pour them down on paper. Grammar is something that can be always corrected and does not impact the creativity.

Well assuming nopony has passed these marshes before, your story's probably sound something like that:
[...] And then he/she got stuck in the first swamp and died... THE END      

                    Isn't it? XD

Alright enough jokez c:
I think that smoothing out the water in the marshes would add a deeper reflection effect. I know that you like drawing on ur favourite rough paper though, but then it's a lil' harder to smooth something out on paper like dat. Perhaps that's just your style. Anyway, I see you've just been playing around with different pencils soooo...yeah.
BTW:
That mountain in the BG kind'a looks like Erebor...
 CHEERS!!

Err.. ebor, right that might.. but tis a coincidence hm...

the rough paper is veeeeeery detail-unfriendly especially when it comes to blending'n stuff. on top of that scanner somewhat pissed at it a little too...

Brilliant deduction of the story! So, so sad...

But nah, 'tis gonna be about a ruinous end to an independent unicorn state.

I'm so much in love with bogs and marshes...
And you've just made a picture that has it.
I want to hug you, at least!

LET US ENGAGE IN JOLLY HUG, FOR I LOVE MARSHES JUST AS MUCH!

PonyCleverBlue In reply to Raedin [2014-11-04 21:09:10 +0000 UTC]

Yes, we shall!
We shall rise the fort of hugginess in the very middle
of an unpassable bog, just so we can enjoy the marshiness
around us!

I shall begin the construction imidiately!
Call the goons to bring us wood for bridges and pallisade!

Well... we shall go then to the nearest wood
and gather resources!

Raedin In reply to PonyCleverBlue [2014-11-04 21:27:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh nay Clever, that is most unwise. I'd suggest to wait for random earth pony traveler with cart to take us along.

PonyCleverBlue In reply to Raedin [2014-11-04 21:30:10 +0000 UTC]

You think so?
How is that pony going to bring his/her cart through that marsh
with no road nearby?

Raedin In reply to PonyCleverBlue [2014-11-04 21:31:47 +0000 UTC]

And since I have already thought about it, we shall ... I shall... fly through. Yes.

If you, my friend, has not realised yet..
I belong to pegasi kingdom as well.
We shall both depart then!

Of course my wisdom reaches to those aspects aswell, yet I said I shall fly through. I will yell at thee once I reach the other side... should not take longer than hour of flight.
