Does anyone else find the front view of ponies ugly?

The early seasons when they didn’t had a more stable base, they struggled depicting pony frontal views. And when they moved, it was worse.D23A8F42-3DE3-4800-A364-CC792836BB41.jpeg.71c23d19c94a63dcc5966944b1101035.jpeg

But sometimes it was more cute than the side view (not this one but), so it isn’t ugly.

LMAO!!!  Omg, that shot!  LOL!!!!  Oh, gawd, I'm like...tears, laughing, here...can't type.  Oh, wow.  That is too funny.  Everybody hated this shot.  What were they thinking?  I remember the first time I saw this shot in that episode.  It was such a shocker.  My reaction must have looked like my face was contorted in agony.  This shot of Tia was just so god-awful.

Anyway, I think the ponies look fine from the front, but there is one pose/face they make that I can't stand:

I hate it when they sing like this.  It's fine when you can see their eyes, but I can't fickin' stand it when they do this.  :eww:

Ha!  That's so funny.  I wrote my post and chose the picture before I saw yours, and then I randomly decided to scroll up (as I often do) before posting, and saw yours.  Pretty funny that we're exactly opposite.  Well, to each their own.

Whie some front view shots can be unappealing, I find that many are quite the opposite.

Such as this:

At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

Aside from the terrible Celestia shot, I don't have a problem with the head on view.post-24370-0-65943600-1446663501.jpg

For some reason I think large confused crowd shots are really funny/amusing looking. ^_^

Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension :lol:

For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

Ah! I have been waiting for someone to bring this up... The front view of the character's faces always looks off-putting to me.

The side view looks quite weird to me, with the "slide" nose thing. Especially the early official designs :sealed:

The front view of 2D Ponies and the Movie's ponies like fine. It's just that the 3d models from the game and from some SFM ends up looking like this:

Yes, perfect illusion..

Looks good, coming from a stallion, they have a lot of problems with their design

I'm quoting this again, because it still proves that front view is best view :proud:

I think they look good regardless.... Except with those mouth creases when they smile. That's always look really weird, creepy and out of place. Mostly because they don't have human flat faces, they have snouts... so the creases don't make sense.

It's like Joker-like smiles. I don't like them

Some of them are ugly in the front view, other's aren't.

Meaning, they did what they could with the limited designs they had. I like that challenged part of the show, seeing what they could come up with. But sadly Season 9 took it too far using the wrong designs from "the Movie" :dry:

The front view of ponies can be adorable. There is one angle that really turns up the adorableness, and it's this one:

yeah front view ponies are usually always ugly but the royal sisters, discord, the changalings, and all the other races minus dragons don't look horeneous from the front.
Although it's only ugly and not creepy like front viewing Manny Heffley

Yeah, from view ponies look weird. IMO it is because the art style is such that front view "flattens" the muzzle of the pony making the face look like a human face but with weird proportions.

lmao take a look at front view Manny, Quagmire, Mordecai, and the worst offender of all: Phineas

To be fair with this one, everyone is in awe while :muffins: is being :muffins: which makes it funny (at least for me)

I can understand though why it can seem a bit unsettling. I'd say it depends a lot on the expressions mixed with the art style. Some are a bit unsettling, others are straight up cute!
