Daring Do and the Ancient Curseby *Starbat

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Cartoons / Drawings

Whew! This took a long time to complete. I hope you enjoy this comic.

For those that aren't familiar, this is a reference to a scene from the movie The Mummy. Here's the clip [link]

For the "bony" structure of the mummy's face, I created this reference for what I believe pony skulls must look like. I used details from what actual horse skulls look like to make it more realistic. [link]

And yes, in case there weren't enough hints, the mummy is supposed to be Lyra. It's meant as a reference to episode 4 of season 2, where Lyra is dressed as a mummy in the background (for Nightmare Night).

Huge thank you to

for providing the everfree forest background in panels 1 through 7. Frankly, I had enough backgrounds to worry about already. XD

Reference background to be found here. [link]

Twilight: Oh look, I may not be an explorer, or an adventerer, or a treasure seeker, or a gun-fighter, miss Daring Do.... but I am proud of what I am!

Daring: And what is that?

Twilight: I ... am a Librarian! *faints*

Daring: I guess librarians can't hold their dandelion wine...

In my oppinion originality isn't all that important, espaially with a crossover. I found it quite interesting you chose to impliment the mummy into a daring do story. that'll give you a good number of points. Also the choice of twilight as evelene was very well done. I was slightly perplexed that you chose to portray lyra as the mummy, but then i realise she could mistaken twilight as bon bon so that'll work quite nicly. I found the way you pointed out the gag of the howeling wind to be perfect. you obviously payed attention to the numerous movies that played that joke.

At anyrate, very well done!

What do you think?
