Duster Dawnhorse

I'm mad for several reasons. The big one being "I'm an artist that vends and this cheating jerk ruins it for the rest of us" but I have a lot more words. Tracing is artistic dishonesty. He's been lying to you guys. He's STILL lying to you guys! Things he said he never traced has been proven to be traced. He has zero remorse and is only putting out that patronizing insult of an apology because he got caught. I would've been forgiving if he came clean on his own but nope, it took his own fans turning on him for him to be truthful. Only when his business was threatened did he talk. That's not love for the fandom, that's greed. There's a lot of responses here that seem to be repeated over and over so I'm just going to paraphrase. GENERAL YOU'S ABOUND. "LOVE AND TOLERATE!" Okay first off, that saying is dead and cliche. Second, "tolerating" means putting up with something. So basically you're telling us to put up with lying and scamming people out of their money with a fake product. I dunno why you're okay with tolerating lying but I'm not. If we're gonna derive from the show, remember that one of the Elements of Harmony is HONESTY. "He just traced some stuff, big deal! He didn't trace everything!" Let's say you have a friend that lies a lot. He tells you something and swears that this time he's telling the truth. Are you going to believe him? No because that's the inherent nature of lying! Once one lie is exposed, everything else you do is called into question. Because if you're willing to lie about one thing, what's to say you won't lie about something else? Hell even in Drawponies' statement, he said Adapting to Night was never traced. That's been proven to be untrue. He's still lying which leads to the next point. "He apologized! What more do you want?" And he objectively lied in his apology. Why should anyone accept it after that? It just proves he's more interested in saving his own skin than making amends. If he really is interested in making amends, he'd start telling the truth. "Ugh, fandom drama witch hunts! Tracing isn't a big deal! Calm down!" It is to artists like me who work tirelessly to improve our craft to create something original for the fanbase. Let's put it this way, you're working on a big essay for a contest. You've worked really hard, you've fact-checked and proofread this thing to hell and back and spent tons of time polishing this essay. You feel awesome about it and you're sure that contest is yours to win. But someone else just downloaded their essay off the internet, wrote their name on it, and turned it in. And they win the contest. Wouldn't you be pissed off? You worked so hard to make something original only to have someone cheat! And win by cheating! That's how artists feel when someone traces their way to fame. I'm shocked and disgusted by the amount of people who are okay with this. It's a spit in the face of all the artists you love that work hard to create content for you guys.

Rarity (like everyone else) and Pinkie always give me headaches. Using the pen tool with a mouse for either of them is hard. Easiest is either Applejack or Rainbow Dash. Surprisingly I have zero issues with drawing Rainbow's mane. Most of my problems are shading it.
