Those meaty glutes are what we should see more of in my opinion.

Aye, DimFann and Yodi draw a figure of definition. Very structured and mastered at any angle. Yodi likes to flex this especially in all those sketches. The extra mass in the anatomy lends itself in a more believable human-like anatomy that real horses don’t have. It successfully bridges the lines between realistic, canon/ cartoonish, and human-like without entering an uncanny valley.
 
It’s still cute and adorable, but can be positively voluptuous when they want it to be. I loved it so much that when I commissioned a good acquaintance, I gave her numerous references, more than half from Yodi and DimFann. It’s the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen too

Happy Starlight always makes my day, also her flank looks really comfy, would totally sleep on it xD

Good taste, fellow cultured man.
 
Dimfann draws the best looking pony /anatomy/ imo. At the same time meaty and definitively horse-like, but not disproportionate or looking “bolted on” to the rest of the pony.

I’ve gotta say it - DimFann, Zippysqrl, Longinius, and Yoditax are the absolute perfect pone artists in my opinion. I can appreciate the slender sleek look of NorthernSprint (especially on pegasi), or the more show accurate and well colored stuff of Selenophile. But I love the stuff Dim and Yodi make specifically (the perfect proportions). Thanks for drawing and posting.
 
But if I’m being honest, sketches tend to be generally a more favored and more engaged with artpiece. Probably because sketches are easier to take in and takes less brain power to process them. Maybe also because of other reasons too.
