A strange coincidence... ?

[G1 Derpy FTW 134]

So I was watching a show called Draw Together (its about a bunch of fictional cartoon characters living in one house for a reality T.V. show) for the fact that Tara Strong (voice of Twilight Sparkle) is a voice actor for two of the Characters: Princess Clara and Toot Braunstein... but that's besides my point!

 

My real focus is a piece of art that is hanging on the wall of the house they are living in...

 

Here is the image of the painting on the wall. Look familiar??

 

 

If that doesn't help here is an image of somepony's Cutie Mark.

 

notice how they have similar properties...

 

 

Tara Strong, voice for characters from both shows... Is this a coincidence? Its really neat though... if you have watched this show have you ever seen it?

I think it might just be a funny coincidence. But you never know. It would be pretty clever if they did that on purpose, but it doesn't look similar enough to me.

I don't think it's intentionally similar under any circumstances. I mean, why would a cartoon for adults make a silly little reference to My Little Pony? (not the best argument, but that's what I'm sticking with!)

Actually, that would be the other way around. Drawn Together is relatively old.

 

So why would a cartoon for little girls make a silly(and very subtle) reference to Drawn Together?

D'OH. That's right... Totally forgot.

 

Well then. If you excuse me, I'm going to crawl into a hole and hide from my embarrassment. See you later...

Nah. I don't think it's a reference at all. I just think it's a common shape. It's an alternate depiction of a star that's used in other forms of media. I don't really believe you can patent a shape, anyway.

Drawn Together ran from 2004 to 2007 and I'm fairly sure Lauren Faust didn't even start working to put together FIM until around 2009.  So yeah, this is more or less a very funny coincidence.

 

BTW, it's pretty funny to hear Tara as Princess Clara as she's pretty much using the same voice she would later use for Twilight.  Although I'm pretty sure Twilight would never say the things Clara said on 'Drawn Together'.
