Sometime last night I thought to myself: Shining Armor did not receive the tough look he should have gotten. So I started doodling some shinig armor sketches and somehow ended up with this (around 2.30 am). Get ready for some quick background knowledge.
(1) Shining Armor got a tatoo of his familys most iconic symbol when he bacame the captain of the royal guard so that he could be identified if things would end really bad for him.
(2) There’s a big softie under those rock hard abs. SA got really emotional when his daughter was born. (Btw I imagine Cadence to be French/ German)
(3) Flurry Heart for an unknown reason turned out really like REALLY religious which was a big surprise for her parents since none of them activly practice a religion at any point in their live.
(4) Twilight Doodle. She still doesn’t know how to dress well.
(5) Shining Armor’s really proud of his uniform even going so far to polish it on a daily basis.
(6)’s based on this picture
by the amazing (I know that Flurry is supposed to be older than Skyla, but I really wanted to draw Skyla disapproving of a baby Flurry Heart)
(7) Naked Baby Flurry^^

As the description explains, that’s not Cadance saying fuck you to Flurry, it’s Skyla. And while a big sister saying fuck you to her little sister also isn’t okay, jealousy of the new baby isn’t an uncommon thing.

Having an opinion on whether a character looks good isn’t inherently racist, trying to justify that opinion with “x character can’t be racist because they live in Canterlot” does strike me as racist, which is why I replied the way I did to the anon. I realize that’s not what you’re saying here however, and that you were just continuing the chain whereas I was replying to one person specifically, which is why I for one am backing out of this discussion.
I hope that future comments on this post can turn back to talking about the picture itself rather than about whether x is racist
I responded to you, because you responded to that background pony, who was replying to taesuga, who was replying to D_Tavs.exe. All I’m trying to say is, having an opinion on a characters looks isn’t racist. To some it’s fine, to others it’s ugly, and some love it, etc.
This is getting farther from the original point of my first reply that you jumped on. The point of the anon I was originally replying to was that Canterlot natives shouldn’t be black because Canterlot is the pony equivalent of Camelot. The point was not anything to do with other species or most of the other things that this conversation is spinning into. My sole point back at the beginning was in response to one anon who specifically thought that Canterlot ponies shouldn’t be black, not that ponies themselves shouldn’t be human ethnicities. That’s a whole other conversation, and this is all having less and less to do with the actual artwork that we’re in the comment section of.
It’s on opinion basically. I don’t find it particularly ugly, but other people might not fun it so appealing. I dislike Black Pinkie because the rich dark chocolate of her skin and the bright pink of her hair makes her look like a clown to ME. But not everyone is going to have my opinion. Having a differing opinions ISN’T RACIST.
Edited because: Fixed a grammar error
LOL it doesn’t clash, why do you type of people always say dark brown clashes with everything? It’s annoying and stupid.
There are a lot of things wrong with this logic.
It’s not really though. It’s kind of weird for a family that lives in Pony version of Camelot would be of African descent while also not being in the mythology or ecology of the area (like how Zebras would be from Africa or Arabian horses from the Middle East.) Unless the Sparkle family had Pony-Othello in their bloodline…
What a strangely-racist comment.
Most likely the fact that Shining, a pony with a coat beautifully white as snow, looks like a burnt cookie. Twilight doesn’t look that bad with dark skin tho.
This is great and you should be proud of it ^^ I love this Flurry design omg she’s so cute!
It’s just a knee jerk reaction to diversified humanization.
Give it time, you made a good piece and people will see that, the wave of downvotes will pass and should climb back out of the negative score before long.
Huh…I don’t know why this one would be unpopular. I actually like it. Well done.
