This was.....horrible. The writing... oh god what was he thinking! The pacing made everything feel stretched out, the fanon stuff felt forced and didn't add anything to the story (if they absolutely felt that they had to put this in they should've done so in the background), and the crossover...

...

I don't know. Ugh, again what were they thinking! What purpose did it serve other than giving a big shout-out to Lauren? It certainly didn't make the story any better. Even Snowdrop did better here.

The voicing was decent (I didn't cringe when I heard them so that was good), the music was ok, but nothing special, and the animation was quite good. Not at all show accurate, but I didn't expect it either from something fanmade. Overall I can approve of everything but the writing. It ruined everything.

Meh, I rather move on to something else. But I may create other AiE comics later. Anon's a fun dude. Though it'll probably be more sketchy looking than this. 

Ait, so a few months back I got the splendid idea of trying to do a request from a draw thread on /mlp/, figuring it'd be a nice challenge to get into drawing again. I went for an absolute silly one, seeing as most of the other requests only wanted lots and lots of clop. (figures)

Well, I sorta like accidentally broke my tablet shortly after, realizing I still couldn't draw the first feakin' pony after 5 hours of failure!

I randomly discovered the old .psd file a little while ago, and since I got a new tablet, I decided to give it a try again. And I actually managed to draw ponies this time! (to an extent at least). I didn't finish it though since the comic isn't worth it, and it's sort of pointless continuing as it originally was a request several months ago.

Also, hands. They're evil. Even harder to draw than pones.

*picture*

 

NO change to what I see.

There's a noticeable difference in that picture. Compare their necks. Twilight's has gained a longer one after the change. You can see how the outline curves inward on Twilight while it's vice versa with the rest.

7/10 would be better without the sparkling effect.

5/10 the small size ruins it.

Well I did, but stopped since my CPU couldn't handle it. Replaced my 6870 gpu with a 7970, but that didn't do anything at all, so I continued engaging in fights with fps below 20. Got tired of playing with such low performance, so I quit. 

Envious!

Looks damn impressive. Could never have cooked up something like that in only one hour! I spend perhaps 5 hours on a drawing that prob. could've been done in 20 mins or so   I'm slow with everything I do. 

You're doing a very good job for a beginner that've just started. Seems like you got a natural talent for drawing, as you don't have a problem getting the anatomy right. My first drawings were a bunch of random connected lines which was supposed to be racing tracks, so yeah, can't really compete with that, hehe. 

A few tips for your next creation:

- Remember eye lashes. They're essential for mare ponies.

- Draw light reflection in the eyes (you know, those 2 +/- white dots)

- Reduce the neck length.

- Draw the plot more "pert" like. It's a little flat. 

Other than that it's a great drawing!

4/10

Not really my cup of tea.

Well, you're in the same boat as about 64 % percent of the EQD visitors, so you shouldn't feel bad at all. You're not in the minority, so to speak. 

Nope. Pretty hard when they all gather in the states at cons, whilst I'm here in cold Scandinavia. I don't mind though, as I've little interest in meeting them in the first place.

I got my little brother into it, though it seems like he's lost interest somewhat. I also got one guy in one of my classes converted through a presentation I had last year at school, but that's about as many as I've affected (unless I created some closet bronies in that class (highly doubt it though)).

It steers the ship in a new direction, and gives potential to freshen up the show with new ideas, which is  good (although I wouldn't mind another season with the same recipe). But I wish it would've been done another way.. 

Hah, they grilled Twilight. Now I can pretend she died saving her friends.

Anyway, episode was pretty meh for me. Found it enjoyable up until half, then I felt it all went too fast. Not Discord rushed, but still. And too many songs for my taste. I like to wait and look forward to when they appear. Now I barely registered one before another started. 

At least we saw Derpy 5 times. Yay~

Feelings summed up: 

I'll jump over to /mlp/ and join them in their sorrow. 

- Sitting in the shower. It's so damn relaxing I'm turning all spaghetti.

- Bored as hell, then suddenly: story update on Fimfiction!

- I always set the alarm an hour earlier than needed, just so I can wake up and go back to sleep again. It also makes it easier to get up in the morning. 

Wow. O_O I don't want to start a fight, but the "fact" that it's just a commercial is just, like, your opinion, man.

 

Nothing in the show has ever seemed forced to me; it all fits perfectly into the show. Even if it was just to sell toys, it didn't seem like it to me. 

I'm not saying the quality reflects that of a commercial. I'm merely saying the show exists as a marketing tool for Hasbro to sell their toys to young girls.

Doesn't sound like you're too big of a fan of the show if it's just a big commercial to you...

That the show is like a commercial is a fact, not just my thought. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching it though, because I really do.

Still dislike it and will not approve of it however good the episode turns out to be. MLP is and will always be a 20 min commercial for Hasbro's toys. If they want more princesses, then there's nothing I can do about it. 

At first, we'd look at each other and be all like: 

But then there would be total silence. Every one is thinking the same thing. There's only six of them, and nearly ten thousand of us. Certainly sharing and caring is not an option here. The tension rises, and people are clenching their fists. Suddenly a random douchebag cries out his mightiest war cry, and the entire field suddenly becomes a battlefield! Blood and limbs fly everywhere, and the fierce battle that took place would put every Viking to shame. But in the end it was I, Nordica, who stood high and proud on a pile of mlpforum members, as the only victor. 

But what is this?! A yellow aura envelops around me and lifts me up into the air. Non other than a seriously pissed Celestia appear before my eyes, and she proceeds to take me to Canterlot where I'm thrown into the dungeons, no doubt seen as a threat to Equestria! Above me I can hear cheering, and as if my life wasn't ruined enough already, I soon discovered a certain coronation took place that day. The rest of my life was spent crying in a corner with only bread and water to keep me alive.

My imagined life in Equestria did not end up as expected. 

Her neck looks abnormally long in that cover picture they've switched to.. 

Grow any longer and she'll become a winged giraffe.

Damascus Viking Sword. If I only had the money to buy one of these... I really like the pattern in the fuller. Just shipping the damn thing would cost a fortune.

Many think of the "Look Before You Sleep" episode to be really girly, but the only thing I saw was how adorable Twilight was in it. 

Don't have it yet, but I intend to buy one some time this year. Especially after the announcement of the Wind Waker remake. Really looking forward to that release! I also have a couple of Wii games I want to finish, which I cannot play since I'm without a tv.

I always wait for the YouTube version. I had slight hopes that Viaplay would come to my rescue, but of course they don't have it in English..
