We've been using metric for years, you heathens.

Imperial is a perfectly valid way of measurement!

OK, all the crew's tails will be bound like that.

As to the island itself...it's like a Dwarven hold, except that rather than being built into the side of a mountain, it's built into the coral risen by Barnacle The Great. The old EP culture there are like 'tropical, nautical dwarfs'...instead of rock, they use coral, and their stuff is styled like shells etc. Nice and bright and colorful and....holy fuck...I just had an idea...

What if I combined...your typical fantasy dwarf archetypes...with some Caribbean culture? Shit, how do I explain this delicately...in human terms...black, Jamaican accented dwarfs. They drink rum instead of ale...they are great sailors rather than being useless in the water...is this making any sense?

Rastafari dwarves. Holy shit, use that idea.

Wait, I think I'm getting too carried away here.

That's the idea. Thank you.

I believe limestone is white. Coral reefs are colorful because the living coral is colorful—if they die, the reefs they leave behind are white.

It's a good idea, but yeah, don't overdo it. You're getting back in that "I want to include everything mode". Just focus on the few characters and setting you have now and do something with it. Seriously, before you do any more character creation or worldbuilding, take what you have and write something. Like have Batty and Coconut order a pizza or repair a boat or something.

Twilight Princess :V

this is quickly becoming one of the greatest memes on the derpibooru

Yo, Apps, this one's for you!

@ ed

Faved! And yeah, she's cute...really cute!

And sorry folks, I was getting carried away again.

I had fun with it. Tried to add a little chub.

She looks like she'd be soft, so well done.

Interesting tweets regarding the Tie-In Novel Expanded Universe and the show.

Probably the alicornication part.

I think Lime Keys is funnier. Plus it can easily be explained as a shortened form of Limestone. People wouldn't actually say Limestone all the time since it's more effort, so it would naturally get shortened over time to the Lime Keys.

I know I'm broader than a broadsword, but I could use a fair explanation on the Lime key joke. I kinda don't get it.

(Also kinda tempted to draw on mouse again, but refraining for my own good to avoid humiliating myself. Think drawing isn't exactly my talent.)

Lime Keys it is.

And er, the Rastafarian dwarf thing?

It's a play on key lime...and 'Limies', as all the inhabitants speak with British accents.

I hope Apple's comic has the seaponies in it.

Now that we have seen what they are like, I hope to put them in.

Later, maybe. Focus, mah boy.

Wait, we have?

I think I'll try drawing some backgrounds.

Alicoronation.

I think he was going for a pun on the song Californication.

@apple: I think I liked it better with the dwarf ponies being their own thing, separate from the islanders. Coconut is one of the islanders, right?
