Damn, Celly can be cruel sometimes

Stupid Wind.

This is relevant to the current weather conditions here.

All people seem to want are Scootaloo's and Rainbow Dash's for beanies.

Good thing I've been making three of each at a time. >.>

I guess I need to get to work on the Scootaloo plushie I've been neglecting for a month!

^If I could have one of Crescent....

EDIT:
Another orchestrated cover of Winter Wrap Up.

That comic actually makes me feel really bad now that I thought about it for a second. Probably because of how in-character Twilight is in it.

That's because Scootalove is best love.

And then I clear all the sexually orientated comments out of my posts for these pictures on DeviantArt >.>

I didn't mean like that.

It was kind of making me sad until she got her revenge

That's because Scootalove is best love.

I think I'm going to have to agree, here.

 

[Akira AC]

You should bet happy seeing as they added Depeche Mode.

It lacks, I mean:

Satie>Bach

Pink Floyd>Black Sabbath(not same gender but whatever)

Pet Shop Boys>Roxette

I would imagine that making humanised Trixie look like a woman wouldn't be to difficult, and yet JJ is one of the only people who can do it right.

MS design is somewhat convincing, I guess that Joseco is the only one who can do that stuff right(In my mind I find her too young, maybe that helps for her appeal[/Not_pedo]).

Paddles, Clear!(injects adrenaline afterwards.).

Oh no no. I mean that I already do that.

Because apparently posting photos of these two together leads to spamming of comments about "rape" on my DA.

Or just stuff about Scootabuse. : /

 

[Minty]

And the first part of that Skyrim crossover Mint mentioned last week is ready to read.

*adds bookmark*

Right now the only 2 things that could stop this from being the next thing I read, would be either TNTNE or TBoTS updating by the time I get around to it. The later of those being the most likely given recent conversations.


I know I've got other stories that I still need to catch up on, but....Skyrim... Honestly, the fact I didn't just tell my friends to go away for an hour while I read it is surprising to me.

Good thing I'm a cold, heartless bastard so this has no effect on me.

I like how you can hear little bits of AJ and RD in Ashleigh's voice during that song, and that's a nice video to go with it.

There was another humanised Trixie drawing that didn't make her look overly masculine, but that was posted about 2 weeks ago in this thread and I'm not going back through 5000 pages just to find it.

 

[Tornado]

This one?

Megasweet also tends to do a pretty good job with her.

 

[Minty]

Megasweet also tends to do a pretty good job with her.

He does a lot of good work with humanized stuff, as well as normal ponies. Just....it's not advisable to search Ponibooru for him without content filters.




And actually, I prefer his humanized Twilight over JJ's.

I mean, this is cute without context.

 

[Wiegert]

This one?

Bingo 👍

Ponibooru was being incompliant, so I wasn't able to find the image I was searching for there.

Megasweet also tends to do a pretty good job with her.

After what Arabica said about Megasweet's depiction of Trixie, I should have said that I agree with him (and you for that matter).

And yeah, it is advisable to filter out some of his more explicit stuff.

 

[Tornado]

And actually, I prefer his humanized Twilight over JJ's.

I mean, this is cute without context.

Context or no, I can't agree. MS Twilight seems kinda "bleh" to me; like a blank slate with no personality that has Twilight's hair and the like rather than actually being her (in fact, I have that problem with almost all of MS' humanizations besides AJ; because she draws Dash outright mean more than anything else). You don't (or at least I don't) get the sense that it is actually her humanized, instead just being someone cosplaying or something.



JJ Twilight is much more expressive and (when people aren't asking him to draw naughty things, but sometimes even then) far more in line with her personality. You can feel the social awkwardness and snarkiness (and in pictures involving Celly, the awe) in the JJ pictures, and none of that is there in any of the MS ones. I mean, look at this:

That's so unbelivably a Twilight reaction that it hurts.

 

[Minty]

Now that I think about it, I've never really put all that much thought into that decision, since JJ usually uploads in massive batches and I usually only take a quick look at everything. I've got a spare 20 or so minutes, so I think I'll just take a better look at JJ's stuff before I can say for sure which I prefer. I still enjoy MS's stuff, though.




EDIT:
This is nice, though,

The shape of her face is a bit off, but overall it's nice.

EDIT:
So after staring at a few of Joseco's things, I have to agree with you.

Also, I posted this a while ago,

And it hasn't been colored. I know it's only been a week, but I'm considering making an attempt at it. Given the rough line art it'd take a considerable amount of time, though. And I know as soon as I finish someone else would upload one that's way better, because that's just how my luck works. It'll be a while before I get around to it, if I ever do go for it.
I might just start off with a rough coloring job without fixing the lines like this:

Agreed. JJ Twilight is far more expressive than the one MS tends to draw. I've seen enough from both artists to know that JJ's version of Twilight is, well, the one I prefer. I don't think I have the same problem as you when it comes to some of MS' humanised characters (AJ's alright, and I suppose Pinkie isn't too bad either).



EDIT: New Drawfriends is up:

No idea who drew that one, but I like it.

[Brando-K]

That MS stuff is quite cute, provided it is out of context.

Brainbread, welcome to our little slice of crazy. I know it's a little late, but better late than never.
I have to agree with Toro, Scootalove is best love.

 

[Tornado]

Mint, you should give it a shot.




Unless of course this kills you:

Finally some free time.

Spoiler

There's a difference between being good-natured but occasionally egocentric beyond reason and being inherently self-centered.

Spoiler

I know that, the proble is that she is more self-centred than occasionally egocentric, given her canon actions I cant find how her Ego doesn't go over the environment around her. There are moments like when she saves Rarity and the Wonderbolts from the falling, which gives her some redeem values, but this only consists in a very low percentage of actions compared to ones that satisfies her own Ego(like that AppleDash episode for example, she cheats her way out to win regardless of whatever relation she has with AJ, and the same goes for Mare Do well, the events that lead to Sonic Rainboom, The Best Pet win episode, among others).

Spoiler

The constant inner turmoil and depression caused because she knows what she is doing is wrong but can't do anything about it by herself (and is afraid to ask for help)?
The fact that she is advising Scoots to do certain actions when she realizes that she herself didn't do them?

Spoiler

I was taking about canon in that bit, in the story she obviously had some actual development that involves her growing up as a persona(pony or whatever), but in canon she presents none of those things, and I seriously don't know why the writers haven't got her out of that cluster.

*raises eyebrow*

Spoiler

I like Trixie. I like Trixie more than Dash. But I can't see a standard in which canon Trixie is better than canon Dash. Very similar in personality, and just as bad when they are both at their worst, but better?

Spoiler

If we are based in canon the obvious answer for that will be no, however Trixie still has some redeeming features(defending the town from the Ursa when only the two idiots were around is actually quite courageous, stupid but courageous), and for whatever canon background she has it has to be better than gaining a cuttie mark while your friend dies in the same situation.

Sorry, I just got a bit carried away with that but is how I see it now.[/Not_Emo]

Agreed. JJ Twilight is far more expressive than the one MS tends to draw. I've seen enough from both artists to know that JJ's version of Twilight is, well, the one I prefer. I don't think I have the same problem as you when it comes to some of MS' humanised characters (AJ's alright, and I suppose Pinkie isn't too bad either).

Agreed, I must say that MS humanized aren't that empty, the problem is that JJ is very good at making expressions, the guy has been working for about 5-8 years making comics and that gives a really good basis to portraits his characters, probably MS lacks this skill however some of her designs are fairly good.


Speaking of:

I summon Raichu.[/Deal_with_it]


Also:

Obvilous, she should have used Cats instead of bunnies.[/Evil_giggle]



And:

EVERYONE, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

Report to your nearest REA recruiting station.







I'll get to 'Dem Points a bit later, Akira.

 

[Epic B]

Ugh, still waiting for the new episode.

NEW EPISODE, Y U NO COME OUT YET?

*LOOP WARNING*

 

[Wiegert]

Mint, you should give it a shot.

Mint... Mint? If you're still alive, then yes, I reckon you should give it a go.


And I should try and either finish off colouring in that JJ Celly drawing, or one of his more recent drawings that hasn't been coloured yet (I pretty much dumped that Luna drawing I was colouring back in November because it doesn't look as good as I had hoped).

Report to your nearest REA recruiting station.

But it's all the way on the other side of the Atlantic!



...




Hold on, I'll just... I need to make a trip to the bank...

Damn, I wish you could sign up online.

 

[Brando-K]

Report to your nearest REA recruiting station.

Yes Sir!

*Nightmare Trixie*
Now you shall all see my true form.

 

[Tornado]

And I should try and either finish off colouring in that JJ Celly drawing

SchoolgirLestia, or some other one? I was actually thinking about giving that one a shot, but I'll refrain if you are working on it. I'll do that Octavia image instead.
