CMC fruit researchers! Today´s fruit, banana! (don´t tell the Apple family) (no, seriously, they mustn´t know about it)
Applebloom just found out how much slippery (and dangerous) a banana is.
She´ll be okey, don´t worry (but seriously, how did she slip up that way? Meh, cartoons).
They´ve borrowed some of the maps and from the Ponyville Library (and a couple extra from Discord). Hopefully Twilight knows how to restore them, because seems that those marks seem pretty difficult to remove.
Luckily, she made a backup of the originals first:

Now, getting serious. This was a long, wild ride. I had to get used to the Photoshop CC 2014´s update, it´s kinda different in many ways.
Damned Touchpad... I´m getting tired of (only) using the Pen tool. For starters, it makes the lineart plain and geometric, not looking as good as the paper sketches. Coloring is way harder, luckily it´s just good enough to make flat coloring, and simple shades. If I get a mouse or drawing tablet someday, I´ll only use the pen tool for strong shadows, since it´s pretty useful that way. //Usual rant mode: OFF
I´ve never had the chance (or motivation) to draw the (original) CMC all together! The hardest part was that I had to make a way to draw Scootaloo´s mane from the back~ Pretty difficult, and it didn´t turn out as good as I thought it could be. Lack of good references. Maybe I´ll try to draw Babs in the future, since I couldn´t include her here because of image size.
The background was directly inspired of CMC Tree House by Vector-Brony, I decided to made it more simple, yet rustical and colorful, to make the characters and objects stand out. I kinda like the ambience I´ve created there.
Note: I´ve removed the lamps, but there´s light coming from the windows (not seen here). Still, most sunlight comes from the right side. So you know there´s not only one light source~
I´ve used the Cutie Mark Crusaders logo from CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS... yay by AtomicGreymon
Is it okey if I say that I want to hug Applebloom really badly?
By the way, the original .psd (10000x7000px big) file´s size is ~140-200 Mb. My netbook didn´t had enough RAM to save it as .png, so that´s why the low quality .jpg, sorry.
Yes, I like to use huge image sizes when drawing. No, I don´t like using vectors right now. FIGHT ME.
Note #2: This was made at the beggining of March but I´m posting it right now because of contest reasons~
Anyways, enjoy!
