It's a problem with kids animation at the moment that there's no money in the animation itself - the money's in merchandising, and animation is ridiculously expensive to make. This doesn't necessarily make a bad program (after all, we're in a forum dedicated to a show with a pretty healthy merchandise business behind it! ) but it can have some... unpleasant side effects. Ben 10, for example, had pretty good writing at the start, but as more merchandise was being sold, more monsters need to be put into the show itself, and they need to be written in, and well, you get the idea..... It's a shame, especially here (in the UK), because up until a while ago we were one of the biggest producers of children's animation. But the government refuses to give the industry any tax breaks (unlike France, Canada, India etc), so it's all getting sent there. If they did, it'd bring a lot more money to the UK in the long-run than they'd spend giving it to studios. But the same can be said of all the arts in the UK, and they've already cut funding to the Arts Council, and axed the film council completely Not to mention the fact that Jamie Oliver's meddling with food adverts got rid of a lot money that usually went towards animation ...Well... /end rant. Sorry to ramble but, yes, LOTS of factors go into making animation....

@Trilobite - Those were the things that I was trying to work on, when I was doing this; I'm so glad that I've achieved my aims! @ Ginger Mint - Thank you! I use Paint Tool Sai, and I know that it's watercolour paintbrush can be made opacity/width sensitive, as well as given a texture, and colour blending options on top of that - it's really rather good!

Eeeeyup, pony-arting is definitely a once a month affair... OC? I think her talent is to turn poisonous/unhelpful plants into medicines/ herbal teas and such :3© Mothtail, 2011

Friendship Is Magic S02EP07 - "May the Best Pet Win!"
Mothtail replied to brianblackberry's topic in Friendship is Magic Series
That song was amazing! It's been too long without a song (and Fluttershy! and Fluttershy singing!) I guess it figures that Rainbowdash's pet is more mature than she is? -

Do you remember the last words before you became a Brony?
Mothtail replied to DantonDamnark's topic in Pony Chatter
I'd seen the 1st part of the pilot on Cartoon Brew, and I can remember thinking something like 'well I don't know what he's got his knickers in a twist for, this is actually rather good....' -
What cartoons did you watch growing up?
Mothtail replied to AznAxis's topic in Entertainment and Geekery
All the Nickelodeon nicktoons, and the Cartoon Network cartoon cartoons I remember, but Courage the Cowardly Dog, Aaah Real Monsters & Rugrats were my favourites. Also whatever of the first MLP series we could find on tape. When I was much younger though, I remember watching mostly funny little british animations, like Postman Pat, the Clangers and Bagpuss. So different from now... sadly http://youtu.be/Lol3fjAyoJw -

Again, as a girl... it seems that I can get away with a bit more. Although I'm an animation student, so most people are quite used to my in-depth talks on silly cartoons.... I wish people didn't have to hide it, though

About myself.: Hello, you can call me Mothtail - It's nice to meet you all! ^-^ I'm a student of animation in the UK. When I'm not drawing, I enjoy listening to music & cooking (& eating! ^_~) How did you hear about Canterlot.com?: Uncle Google? How did you became a fan of FiM?: I first saw MLP from the (in)famous post on Cartoon Brew (And I remember thinking what the hay back then... >_>) I forgot about it until a few months later when a friend recommended a second look, and I've been hooked ever since.... My one favourite main cast pony?: Twilight Sparkle ...Although, I'm probably more like Fluttershy
