The Canterlot Armoury (Royal Guard Appreciation Thread)

She’ll definitely win over boys peeking at her during a joust. 👀

Reminder that you don’t need to carry weapons to be epic or badass.

Wisely spoken, my friend. And indeed, I agree with you ;-)

Maybe not necessarily epic, but cute. May also be allowed here from time to time. ;-)

Hebt - AN! (Battle cry of us German medics, literally Lift - UP (a wounded person))

Edit: There are far too few Coast Guard images here. Hmph.

Sorry, but I had to post this. ;-) Not only because I’m a big fan of the What is love meme, but especially because I find the Warhammer 40k Techpriest in this so amusing. And I love pixel art. ;-D

Our latest featured image is worth being in this thread.

such a cute and colorful guard bug.

You’re right about that. This is really the cutest guard bug I’ve ever seen. Fits absolutely perfectly here. ;-)

I don’t know about you guys, but I like Tell your Tale so far. Especially the second episode Zipp’s Flight School. And I also like that goofy cartoonish style of the show. The Royal Guards look really hilarious in it. ;-D

@DarkObsidian
I wish TYT had a better art style. At least you can tell they’re supposed to be ponies here, unlike Pony Life. Bean mouths don’t suit equine characters.

(grin) Bean mouth, true, that’s a pretty fitting description. And I can understand what you mean. In fact, there would certainly be better methods of graphic design, but I don’t mind that in this more or less pointless stringing together of silly puns and gacks in a short 5 minute cartoon format.

I like too much the lightheartedness and naive charm that I think MLP has always had. And maybe I’m not so into the characters that I can decide for myself whether the show’s creators should really be criticized when they try out new things. Might as well make fun of G4’s numerous animation errors. Oh… Wait. (just have to pause the LittleshyFiM’s Cinemare Sins: Everything Wrong With video in the background) ;-)

I think TYT is probably taking a bit of a cue from series like Steven Universe or Star vs The Forces of Evil when it comes to design. Not completely identical, of course, which is probably also due to the (also probably) not very high financing by Hasbro. But I think you can already see in which direction the show is supposed to go. And as I said. It’s so entertaining that I think you can tolerate the TYT drawing style quite well. I’m just glad that they also thought about the two Royal Guards from the Netflix Movie. This already makes it great for me.

Ah, I’m just so easy to please… You just can’t talk seriously about critique with me. Sorry. ;-D

The Trinity of the Fandom. From pony, to anthro, to human. And all I see is a sword. Damn. ;-)
