So. Let's just say there's a particular room in my "friends" Inn, that sometimes scares off customers. How would I-- I mean my "friend"! Deal with that kind of situation?

Shutter Ghost: Well, first I'd bring Void to the room you - er, your "friend" mentioned. He can sense if something's friendly or not. Where's the room at?

[ask-shutter-ghost]

OHHH THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT 😍

I'm obsessed with absolutely everything in this picture, but of particular note to me are how squishy and soft the cat paws look, Void's little yawn bubbles and his shading (black cats are notoriously hard for me to shade, that was impressive), how many scarves are hidden in this pic, and Shutter's eye expressions, and the fact that IT'S FRAMED IN AN INSTANT PHOTO like Shutter Ghost loves to take! 🥰

11/10 work and excellent communication, I highly recommend commissioning @alabasterpeony if you get a chance!

Comm for the ever so sweet and generous @ask-shutter-ghost 💙 excellent boy and his cats, no better dynamic than that!

Awwwww Zatrium is such a sweet! Also I love how Shutter has a little neck floof, very soft looking!! 💖

Ever seen a haunted fruit?

Shutter Ghost: Umm, maybe that banana Banana Pie gave me that never went bad? Otherwise, the only haunted fruits I've encountered are these "ghosts" and "pumpkins."

--------

The "ghosts" and "pumpkins" are super fun treats to make for Halloween! For the "ghosts," just peel bananas, cut them in half, and add chocolate chip eyes and a popsicle stick to hold them with. The "pumpkins" are actually peeled tangerines with celery, peppers, or other green vegetables.

I found the idea here while searching for haunted fruits!

Daisy Daedal: Every wonder if Anons are just ghosts?

Shutter Ghost: That would explain why I don't always recognize who's talking.

-----------

Mod Mittens: That's a clever idea, @splungecoyote! I might have to try incorporating some ghosts into anon asks :D

I used this picture here as a reference for Daisy and Shutter! Someone explain to me why horses always look like they're on the verge of breaking their legs XD

[ask-shutter-ghost]

What is one thing that makes you smile?

Shutter Ghost: Just one? There are so many. But if I had to pick just one . . .

Shutter Ghost: . . . It'd be seeing ponies being kind to each other.

Mod Mittens: What a sweet ask, @helenita-lover-angel! Featuring @askspades' Spades and @ask-the-out-buck-pony's Jazz Notes enjoying a wagon ride :D

Hey! I’m Shutter Ghost, and these are my three cats, Whisp, Void, and Pecan. I’m a ghost hunter who takes a lot of instant photos and has an obsession with scarves. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! 

I also take commissions!

Shutter Visits Sunny Town

[ask-shutter-ghost]

Nothin’ like a snazzy windbreaker and roller skates to woo a mare! Shutter Ghost thought, trotting across the tiled floor of the diner. He pulled in a breath and, using his magic, slowly unfurled a banner that read “Pony Prom?” and two pairs of roller skates, holding them out towards Rose Moon. “Rose Moon? Care to join me at the Pony Prom this year? There’s gonna be slushies!” 

-----

I’ve never joined Pony Prom before, but it looked super fun so I thought Shutter might like to invite Rose Moon! ( @askdaisydandfriemly​ / @splungecoyote​ )

Rose Moon: Are you really going to be heading into a dangerous place alone? What if more than one being is there that could harm you?

Whirlwind Flux: Bolts at the ready!

Narrator Doe: Um . . . Hello? Is there something I can help you with? Is everything alright? . . . How are you in my mirror?

Lucia the Vampire: Come join us in our castle in Everfree Forest . . .

Indigo Skies: I’m here to help!

Caffeine Hazard: Need some coffee for energy?

Sageling Phoenix: Greetings, my child. What is the issue?

Inquiry: Wouldn’t it be exciting if lightning were to strike right now?

JetStream: Shutter, what happened? Can I help at all?

Twisted Gravekeeper: Here to grant your wishes.

Dream Baker: Aaaugh!!!

Shutter Ghost: Great, they can hear us. Could you explain what’s going on? You tell it better. 

Rapid Stream: I’ll try. So I was foalknapped a long time ago, by a place called Workhorse Industries . . . I remember . . . s - something about making “the ultimate equine,” a pony stronger than alicorns or Discord . . . And I remember I was a failed experiment. They injected me with some kind of raw magic. Eventually I met Shutter - that’s another story - but I still keep tabs on Workhorse Industries. They just foalknapped another pony. I think . . . I think they’re ready to try the experiment again. This would be their fifth try.

Mod Mittens: Holy frames, Batman! Finally got all the animation for this part done! :D

Don’t worry if you didn’t have a chance to appear in this! Your character will still be able to interact in future pages of the comic :)

Can you tell us about your family?

Shutter Ghost: My mother's name is Willow Frond! She knows a lot about trees and plants. And my father, Pumpkin Palladium, is a pumpkin farmer and jewelry maker. You should see his Jack-O-Lanterns around Halloween!

----

What a perfect excuse to draw Shutter Ghost as a foal! ;w;

References, non-shaded version, and additional info below the cut ^^

Pumpkin Palladium is an earth pony who uses magical crystals to be able to make jewelry. Shutter's birth mother, Silver Fire, passed away when he was too young to remember her. Pumpkin met Willow Frond, another earth pony, soon after and fell in love with her, and it's Willow that Shutter remembers as his mother figure. He knows about Silver Fire's passing, but he doesn't have any memories with her.

Shutter and Void spot some orbs! Needed a warm up after not drawing for a while so I did a little something for @ask-shutter-ghost Couldn’t resist having Void chittering at the orbs xD

[ask-shutter-ghost]

What would you feed to 007?

Shutter Ghost: How about a nice banana cream pie? I'm so glad that giant banana came in handy!

-----

Thanks again for the giant banana, @askbananapie!

I love the way this came out, it’s giving me original Littlest Pet Shop vibes ;w;

Easter Egg Decoration Time! (OPEN)

With Easter on the way, I thought it might be fun to make a large group shot with ponies decorating Easter eggs! 

To enter, use the blank table below and draw your pony, and then submit in the comments or a reblog. 

The time limit is April 10th so I have time to put everyone’s photo together! Happy decorating!

Mod Mittens: AAaaugh this is SO CUTE!! Thank you so much for this, I LOVE the ghosty background and the cat eyes especially :D
