Why are the .MOVs watched again?

Bile Fascination?

Oh hey, the last .MOV, how about that. You know, it's weird, the Ask Jappleack tumblr managed to actually be enjoyable because it mixed in some of the show's sincerity in with the causticness. If the videos managed to do that I might actually find them enjoyable, but they seem too busy being over top unpleasant.

Derpibooru is reporting that their hosts have had a major network failure. That explains the slowness.

They are interesting, if you don't take them seriously.

Aaaand I finished a major milestone in my ongoing fanfic. Whew.

So earlier today, before the drama, I wanted to post up a test comic. Well, here it is◊. For context. it's calling back to my idea of ship teasing Batty with Fluttershy. The Skip (in blue) is telling him that it can't happen. Just...go with it.

Yes, it's rough as hell, but it's the only way I'm going to learn to actually make this thing. I'm surprised I got anything done today really. Call it practice for story layout and character expression.

And you may notice too that Batty has reverted to his original red colour, whilst the Captain has been changed from gold to a blue scheme . I'm just trying to see what works. They'll probably keep changing until I get it just right.

It's crap I know, but anyone any comments?

Hi everyone! What's up?

I found that kind of funny, even if the art's rough. Also, what drama?

The same reason people watch Ren and Stimpy.

Looking good Applelight!

Also.. I see a couple chunky pinkies in your gallery there :P

@ Lopiny

Don't ask.

What?

Something tells me that I will not watch that swag.mov video. Just like any new South Park ep.

K then, I never asked.

Also, i stopped following the MO Vs after a while, because I dunno.

I'm liking the facial expressions, Apple. Really gets across the sense of despair.

@ Apple: Sure, the comic is rough, but I chuckled.

The captain's cutie mark is much too big, though, unless you meant for it to take up his entire side.

I'm glad you all like the facial expressions. I think they're a strong point of mine.

But seriously turtle, what did you see and how did you see it? There's stuff in my gallery that's sort of...private.

I'll need to shrink it then. Unless I go the Big Mac root...his one's huge.

Wow, that is pretty good Apple

Puuurty.

@Apple's comic: It's... rough, I'll admit, but I like it! Good gag at least, and the characters' personalities read very well through it.

Well Applelight, the art is rough, but the gag is pretty funny. I saw a partial success, just keep trying, matey.

Thanks guys. I'm still learning how to draw, and I don't get nearly enough practice, but hopefully with time it'll be to a standard that I can go public with.

So, the expressions are good? Gag works?

How's the panel layout? Text etc?

Text kinda contrasts with the more cartoony expressions, so maybe you need another font. Panel layout's fine, though.

Unless I go the Big Mac root...his one's huge.

That's what she sai-*SHOT*

I've been thinking about "Games Ponies Play" for some reason lately.

I wish that, instead of Ms. Harshwhinny being more-or-less ignored as she went about her inspection ("First hello of the day"), the crystal ponies had all been super friendly to her. Maybe tension could have been built up by having all their attempts to be friendly accidentally go wrong—for example, after Harshwhinny gets splashed by a passing cart, another pony throws a towel over her head and dries her off, but completely messes up her mane in the process. At the end, she hears about the super elaborate greeting and tour that Ms. Peachbottom received, and only then does Harshwhinny realize that none of the crystal ponies recognized her: they were just being friendly to a stranger.

On an almost completely unrelated note, I really liked Ms. Harshwhinny's voice.

So, the expressions are good? Gag works?

Looks good to me. I agree with what Lopiny said about the font, though.

Font needs changed then...OK, thanks everyone.
