The one I saw was made by HASBRO, and I seem to remember it had yarn hair. Those ones are awesome, but 50 pounds (or euro, I can't remember which it was) is alot of money. Maybe I'll just get reading Twilight…

Edits: yay new page GET.
Giga's comic is awesome, needs moar Pinkie Pie!

1/4 of the thread used in 7 days? I'm so proud of you. Will post awesome ponies when I return.

This thread is now occupied by Molestia.

This is not entirely a bad thing.

I can work with this…! I will return and post moar!

> Says it's show accurate in earlier post
> Says it's made by Hasbro

But seriously I've never seen such a plushie, good luck.

@Gigatoast

Critiques on your comic hu? Well I read it agian and noticed there are 3 mentions of night falling soon in a row… have you considered omitting one?

It's kind of a minor thing and it doesn't really even stall the flow of the comic, it just doesn't need to be reinforced that much. Maybe Applejack could say something else? I'd keep Zecora's line about it because it's really nice and Twilight's because Dash usually listens to her in show – it fits and flows well with Zecora's.

I think Burning Phoenix made some great suggestions, too!

eeyup, that must be it, he's mickey from Dr. Who.

I looked around the internet and all i found for a plush twilight sparkle from hasbro was this

This captures my reaction perfectly

So Lesson Zero is tomorrow, Twilight approves.

Haha, and Supermonday, I don't think Twilight minds to much, cause here's the follow up picture.

Does anyone have a render or a picture of Pinkie Pie when she meets Twilight and gets shitscared and jumps?

got an image

and a vector

Need more?

Thanks alot!

I'm considering making an ask tumblr. It will pretty much be a text only, personal blog of a Royal Equiestrian Guard bitching about the stupid stuff he has to deal with on a day-to-day basis. Any suggestions or criticisms?

Heh, sounds like a really fun idea.

You should do it. I made a Lyra one. Just be prepare to lose what remains of your social life

So, what do you think Pinkie, should he do this or not?

BEST PONY HAS SPOKEN, IT MUST BE DONE!

Dude, I joined the military ROTC. Sanity, social life and hair is practically the entrance fee

If you keep the sense of humor you have on here, then I'll immediately start following him.

Given that you're not relying on images, a lot of effort is going to have to go into the humor. Also, be on the ready for Molestia/Trollestia questions galore. Since it's a typed response and not drawing, it shouldn't be as difficult as other blogs which beg to be bombarded with the same questions.

If things get slow (or if the questions get too redundant,) then you could make a journal-type of post every once in a while. If you introduce something that the audience really likes, then that might chalk up some more activity.

HAVE YOUR SAY:

I posted a poll regarding the new gallery on KYM on my DeviantArt site:
http://ivanp91v.deviantart.com/
----
Theres also a shoutbox if u feel like commenting on that, or if u feel that options don’t reflect what you think.
--
I want to apologize in advance:
- I don’t know if u need a DevArt profile to vote or not
- I know it automatically forces you to look at my crappy page
- The options in the poll aren’t as complete as you guys wanted
Sorry :)
--
I want to see people’s opinion on this new thing. Personally, i don’t like the gallery, how it looks or how it works. Its slow for me, on any device. Its in order to look at the oldest stuff i gotta keep scrolling till my browser decides it doesnt wanna work no more. Old one was slow, this isnt better.
-
Anyway, go vote. Lets see what the community thinks.

Okay, so I've made a banner for EqD, but I need a good name for it. It's basicly Dashie scaring Pinkie with a Molesita (got a Zecora version too.) mask, but I find no fitting name.

halp

Well this is what I get for going to bed I guess, now my responses are a good seven hours late. :P

@Gigatoast:
Well you asked for criticism so by god you’re going to get it. Be aware though that I do this because you asked. I found the original comic pretty great and loved the art and didn’t really feel the need to critique it. so please don’t take this criticism the wrong way, I’m kinda digging deep in my inner cynic. :(
Concerning art, I really can’t help you there. I can barely draw stick figures but from what I’ve heard from people who do these kind of long term projects, you get exponentially better as time goes on and learn shortcuts to make your workflow more streamlined.
As for writing and panel placement, the writing is great and the punchline was clever ( a bit too clever for its own good really….)
As for panels, there’s a lot of wasted panels here of ponies simply picking up retch root that you simply do not need to show over and over again. A reader is okay with it since he can just glance quickly over a panel with no text but it makes work much harder for you as an artist drawing all these unnecessary extra frames. Look at all this unnecessary work you gave yourself!

Wow thanks, that was immensely helpful. Now that you mention it the majority of my problems seem to stem from page composition. I was trying something new and I suppose I had a bit too much of a "stroyboard" mindset while sketching out the design.

I'll keep all your advice in mind when I start up the next part, then hopefully it'll feel less cramped and confusing and I won't have to do unnecessary work that just slows down the production time.

Thanks again! :D

With the story/plot itself i found only a few problems. The story seemed RD focused but you only gave the “background” ponies a slight mention before tossing them away (i’m surprised twilight, the master of friendship, only said one or two things before ignoring RD’s unwillingness to help their friend zecora).

I admit this part gives the wrong idea about the plot, the rest of the story mainly focuses on Zecora and Twilight. I styled this part after a cold opening an actual episode would have (you know, that bit before the theme song), they don't usually have much influence on the plot and serve mostly to set the scene and deliver a quick joke.

Thanks for the critique guys! This is just what I needed to get myself back on track!

Why are winged unicorns called alicorns? I don't get it.

Hasbro's dead to me

Some mistake made by the fanbase? ponyshrug

ever since I saw the Baby Pinkie Pie commercial…
Hasbro's been dead to me.

Whoawhoawhoa guys, hold the phone (did I seriously just say that?)?
Don't hate Hasbro!
Without Hasbro, we wouldn't have ponies!
Without ponies, our lives would be hollow, empty shells of our current happy selves!
Without ponies, there would be no amazing brony fanbase!
And without ponies, we wouldn't get the best pony!

It was a joke, Citation. Chill, brony.

Also, are you sure that's the best pony?

Look at Apple Bloom and just try to say that Rainbow's the best pony.

Rainbow's the best pony. ಠ_ಠ

>post Rainbow Dash quote to Facebook
>no one responds except my friend who I know gets it because I've been trying (and failing) to get him to watch the show for months

Narrows eyes

Now you've done it.

Stares

I regret nothing.

For the record, Rainbow Dash is best M6 pony, Vinyl Scratch is best other pony, and Scootaloo is best filly.

(Please note these opinions will change every other day, because let's be honest, they're all awesome.)

You cannot escape.

Look at Apple Bloom and just try to say that Rainbow’s the best pony.

Can't say it.

Twilight Sparkle is Best Pony.
 
 
As for alicorns and how they got the name for their "race", Wikipedia says alicorn was the substance a unicorn's horn was made out of. It was said to have had magical qualities, but nothing of flight.
Linguistics- is another approach. The prefix "ali-" means "other" or "another" (e.g., alibi, alter, altruism.) "Alicorn" may just mean a unicorn of another sort.

But if Lauren Faust thought it through that far, that implies that Unicorns came before Alicorns or the concept/name for Unicorns came before Alicorns were known (since alicorn would be "other unicorn".) That's all I have to offer.

badsitrep knows more about it because he does.

THE CUTE… IT'S JUST… SO…

No. Trixie r best poni.

I know that feel, that's why I use tumblr, everypony is a brony on tumblr

@Everyone&Everypony

Creepy, level expert.

I shall now interrupt the conversation with this following picture:

Sooooooo… Wats going on?
