### Biggest surprise EVER

Hello there everypony!
Something awesome happened today, that I feel I have to share.
Hello Everypony!
Today I received a note here through DA, and by the time I read the content and clicked the link, my jaw made a hole on the floor. For I got the biggest (and pleasing) surprise ever.
Someone made a song out of the picture "Tangled"
I think you should hear it for yourselves:

I really don't know what to say, because for me, this is beyond my most optimistic dreams. Usually, I listen to music and that brings images to my mind, which drives me intro drawing them . Having music made out of one of my drawings is... just incredible, something that is completely out of my reach, as I am no musician,. so thank you SO SO MUCH for this. You really made my day, and probably my whole year.
Best

### Discord Flash puppet open source

This does not exactly belong to the CoTN project, but it has to do with "Heaven's Light" Which is Spiritto's animation. In order to design young Discord, she needed an adult puppet to reference on first. The puppet is an Open source resource now, so you can DOWNLOAD it here
Download
This means that slowly but steadily both projects keep advancing.
Our dear Flash fellow, ,
Has been so kind to provide us with CS4, CS3 and Flash 8 version that you can all now download from the following links.

### Come Little Children, Spanish

I have seen many translations of the main song to Spanish on Youtube.
I have made plans with a Spanish voice actress to dub the song to Spanish when the video will be out. But before that, I needed to make translation of the song, which wasn't easy to do.
It is not exactly like the original one (adaptation is required for rhyme, metric and theme) But I guess this can be considered the official "Children of the Night" Spanish version.
I took the translation base from the European Spanish version of "Come Little Children" with some slights modifications and completing the gaps.
Vamos pequeños
Que yo os llevaré
Niños venid a mi lado.
Venid conmigo
Y descubrireis
Un nuevo mundo encantado.
Brilla la luna
Que os ha de guiar
lejos de penas y llantos.
No lloreis niños
Y venid a mi
Yo os calmaré, con mi canto
Rápido niños,
nos vamos de aquí.
Nunca sabrán que ha pasado
Vuestra es la noche
de un reino feliz.
Mi sueño se ha realizado.
Vamos pequeños,
que yo os llevaré
Niños venid a mi lado
Venid conmigo
y descubrireis
Un nuevo mundo encantado

### Annoucement!

Greetings everypony, Lion here with an annoucement.
Some of you might remember that I mentionned a slowdown in the production of CotN. I can now say why:
My talents as an animator have been drafted for the animated parts of the Bronycon Documentary by Michael Brockhoff and Lauren Faust with Tara Strong and John DeLancie.
While I am superduper excited at the opportunity to work with all those great names, it also means that instead of a slowdown, Children of the Night will have to be put on hiatus for a few weeks while I give the Bronies and Pegasisters around the world the best work I can possibly give.
Hopefully you understand that it is a great opportunity for me both as a Brony and an animator. I cannot share what I am doing on the documentary however... but from what's been done so far and with the reaction to the work that's been done, everyone's really happy with it!
Thank you all, and trust me when I say: Children of the night will be completed! Just a bit later than we thought ^^;
I'll try and keep the blog alive with some info left and right that we have not talked about yet but it will be a difficult task.
Thanks again for your incredible patience with us.. it shall be rewarded, I promise.

### Second-to-Last killer shot

But not the last shot to be done!
Greetings everypony!
Lion here with the mandatory progress report! Some of you stumbled upon the stream in which I started that shot. Well, it took a long time to do.. a LONG long time.. for many reasons. One of which might be seen as a bad news, but trust me, it is not.
Something appeared in my workplate.. something I could not, in my right mind, refuse. But despite it's awesomeness, it also means that Children of the night will be going at half speed. I'm technically the only one with work still left to do (If Spirit starts to animate, I'll still have to go over her work and slow down my own shots for tweaks. Plus she'd have a steep slope to climb) and I'm doing it as well as I can. Not to mention I'll probably have to animate that little intro that popped up.
Of course, flash does not always cooperate but that's not news. So here's a little still frame of that shot as it will appear:
Enjoy everypony!
Cya next update!

### Voice Actress found!

Hello Everypony!
Thank you to everybody who sent an audition. We received more than we expected, and it has been very difficult to choose between the candidates.
We are really touched for the support and great attitude that you guys are showing towards our animation project.
I am really happy to announce that we have finally found a voice for Gari!
The name of the actress that will be playing Gari is SARAH WILLIAMS (again, I have to say, it is been really difficult to choose between the candidates, due to the amazing good quality of the recordings we received).
:iconEllybethe:
I have tried to reply to everybody who sent an audio file, if you didn't receive an email from me, I am really really sorry and I thank you from here.
Now it is time for me to get back to the drawing board. There 's just much to do!
