A part of a drumfunk EP i'm currently working on. Just have a to finish up one more song before i'm ready to release the entire thing. For this song i decided to use the Funky Mule break from the song Funky Mule by Ike Turner and The Kings of Rhythm. Like the name suggests, super funky and near endless ways to rearrange it into unique patterns. There's actually three breaks in the song, and each one has different sounding drums which offers a lot of variation. In two of those, there's a really nice crispy ride cymbal ringing throughout the break. Absolutely in love with how much intensity it adds once you run it through a saturator and heavy compression. Also watched a bunch of tutorials online on how to make those really retro sounding 90s intelligent dnb pads using serum, but i dont think i managed to pull off the same vibe. Sounds kind of 'modern' to me and idk what i'm missing

For the background art, i spent a lot of time just building the dead forest around Flutters. Added a bunch of fog using volumetric lights and little motes of light that i love slapping on everything. A cool technique i learned throughout making sfm stuff is that it's really important to have foreground elements in the pic to create a sense of depth. I also love putting fluttershy in a wooded setting cause it just kind of fits with her being like a disney princess and being friends with all the animals. So in my head it makes sense for her to have a connection with the woods as well.
