Ooh, is she giving me the eye? Well, well, well! -
I don't think we're over it yet.

So cute! -
There aren't so many big names this year though. Is that something that usually comes later?

I should note that these were designed to fit within the board's current 27 pixel tall emoticon size. I modified things, the hair mostly, to keep them within the tight vertical constraints. -
Huh?

He is so pretty! -
From the album: Pixelry
A collection of emoticons on which I worked on-and off for many months. These are all poses referenced directly from the show, not originals. I had wanted to develop a set of smileys better than the current prevailing set here and elsewhere on the web. I found the colours in those quite muddy, and the shrunken-down artwork often obscured details. For bonus funs, try to identify which episodes each of these are from! Pretty happy with how these came out, but I am as always open to any thoughts or criticisms. -
S03 E13 - "Magical Mystery Cure"
Dessa replied to brianblackberry's topic in Friendship is Magic Series
Starswirl's spell isn't what transformed Twilight, it was Celestia. As soon as Twilight finished the spell, Celestia summoned her. If you'll recall in season 1, Twilight tried to cast a Cutie Mark spell on Apple Bloom and it failed repeatedly. She explained that such a thing was completely impossible. But here, she completes it -- a spell which can alter a pony's destiny itself. That's major, dude. -
MUDBUG. We've missed you moar! And stuff like this pony is why. Good detail in the hair. The bang outlines and the hair streaks combine to give a good suggestion of volume. -
Oh he(?)'s beautiful! -
Legs are fine, neck and body are thick, if you're going for show style. -
Love the c.olors! -

Care to explain? Horse's nose and albino zebra, both with sunburn. It can totally happen. This hasn't quite been made canon, since it has not technically been put into an episode, but Faust Herself explains:- 174 replies

No, I'm sorry Jaded, but I think you drew ME as a pony. -
S03 E12 - "Games Ponies Play"

I guess I don't understand your objection then. You get the motivations at work. You just didn't find it very good, dramatically speaking? -

Good gravy, that's a lot of text! Ginger, are you a competitive person yourself? Some of what you say reminds me of the sorts of arguments that non-sports lovers make against sports. Namely that if the consequences of sports are bearable, then sports are entirely pointless. I think that's trying to apply logic to a matter of emotion. The purpose of sport is debatable, but even fans acknowledge that it's just a fun reason to be emotionally invested in something. It doesn't need to have a point. Rainbow Dash, as we know, is very competitive, and the last time the games were going on, her team lost! This time, her home team isn't in the game, but she still has a favorite. It's like how people choose a favorite for the Super Bowl simply because its more fun to root for a team when a big event is going on. She's rooting for the crystal empire, and moreover, she can actually impact whether her team wins. If you want an explanation for Dash's behavior, you need look no further than this. And if this mystifies you, that's understandable -- it's not really a settled subject. People still debate the reasoning behind it. -

Aww, Gingi is just mad because Chickadee stole her colours -
When you aren't getting warnings, and when mods don't lock threads you write in. Joke or no, this thread is flamebait. Locked!

I always figured Harshwhinny just picked the Crystal Empire because it's the Crystal Empire -- It's been gone for a thousand years and it's the hot new curiosity. As for her saying "she got an unbiased reception," we saw a bunch of bad stuff happen to her, but we don't know what happened off camera. Probably just made her feel good to see a regular Jill get the Royal Treatment for once, too. And y'know, sometimes when you feel good, you make choices to perpetuate the good feelings, even if they aren't the smart choices. I'm sure Ginger can tell us the name of this particular psychological phenomenon? -
Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic
Dessa commented on Frost137's gallery image in Canterlot Community Art
I notice a few things: 1. Her left foreleg joins at the body a nudge far back, and its hoof is turned outward. 2. The rear hooves are a bit too rounded on the bottom. 3. The mane on her back "cuts" down a bit low into her side. Remember it's not hanging DOWN here, but wrapping around from the back of her next. That said, I find it a charming image despite the technical flaws. I like the facial expression and the stoutness of the body. -

Yeah, it all works out, even if it is kinda messed up. The sheer charm of Chickadee alone does a lot for it.
