Description

:iconsaysplz:I don't blame him for being scared, but... what's the thing on right...?

Yeah, I'm not sure what Sooty would say for this, but I wasn't just going to have him saying: "..."

Before I go into anything else though...

MicSet is not mine!

It doesn't belong to this ad'awwable, widdle pony! ^.=.^ --> :iconsootyforge:

It belongs to this ad'awwable, widdle pony (who's also a dragon and a wolf [EDIT: dingo])! ^.=.^ --> :icondragon-v0942:

Why was that necessary? Moving along. I will now refer to him by his name just because it's simpler (Mathew).

There is a bit of story attached to the making of this picture which I'll go into below. I did finish it yesterday and I was going to upload it, but it was late when I finished and I had to get some sleep. Today I went to Pony Con AU, which is why I didn't upload it this morning. Pony Con was really fun! I even got my OC Commissioned! ^.=.^

Now then, how the making of this picture went. Originally it wasn't going to be the way it is and it was just going to be 'SOOTY FORGE' written with shadows and the shadow of MicSet standing on a small rock ledge to the right of it. It was supposed to be like a title page saying: "SOOTY FORGE'S SHADOW THEATRE!" or something like that. However... I made the mistake of 'quick saving' and attempting to 'quick load'... two hours worth of work lost... it was not fun in the slightest. When it happened, I grabbed a pillow and screamed into it: "GOSH DARNIT! NO!" I then discovered that saving was in the spawn menu and was really upset by it, so I stopped that night...

The next night, I started working on this idea instead. I did it over the course of three nights. The first night was MicSet and the top part. The second night was the left part. The third night was the right part. when I took the picture, I decided to play with 'Super DoF' and kind of rendered it a little. I couldn't use too much blur or else the shadows would become distorted and I couldn't use too little or else it'd obviously do nothing.

Here's the funny thing. I did retain a bit of knowledge of MicSet from a few of Mathew's videos, so the monsters do kind of match up with his fears.

The monster to the left is obviously supposed to be a spider because in one video of random voice clips, there's one part where you hear MicSet freaking out over a spider. So that explains that.
The monster at the top... I really don't know what I was trying to make... at first I thought I was trying to make some kind of twisted Diamond Dog like creature... then I thought I was trying to make a wolf... and then with the end product, I decided it was supposed to be a Timber Wolf. Yeah, I was kind of confused and I'm not too sure what it has to do with MicSet (probably a bit more than I think).
Now, the monster on the right is supposed to be MicSet himself (obviously the model used is exactly the same) because in another video, Mathew mentions that MicSet is scared of other ponies because he doesn't know how ponies would react to his unusual dragon wings and that he thinks they might hurt him. Soooo... in a way, he's scared of himself and views himself as a monster.

I know Sooty would never hurt Mic! I don't know how MicSet would get along with Sooty though, considering that Sooty is filthy, smelly, covered in soot and is scared of baths.

Well, I hope you like it, :icondragon-v0942:!

Ha, ha! The icons and glee has been double-doubled! ^.=.^

I definitely love this and I enjoyed reading your long description.
I didn't know that you really liked the stories about MicSet's past that I've been mentioning lately.
I should probably share a lot more information about him with you and the public

If you wish to have more precise info about MicSet for future projects or maybe even some tips and such for later in SFM I'd be more than happy to help out.
My Skype: Dragon-V0942 OR Mathew Woodrow

Once again I definitely love your work.

PS: the canine you see in my icon avi is actually a dingo, not a wolf :icondragonkekeplz:
