It’s a shame that we aren’t getting any more official EqG comics. Was the backlash for the holiday one really so great as to discourage IDW from making more?
 
Speaking of which, actual EqG holiday story please.

There’s been backlash against every new release for most of the time IDW has had the license and yet there’s still a new issue or 3 every month. I doubt reception is why IDW hasn’t made any new EQG story in a while.
 
IIRC they’ve only done EQG for their annuals to begin with.

@Dustcan  
Yeah, but EqG took up the first two annuals and then just… stopped after the second. Despite EqG only becoming more popular from then on.

I wouldn;t say it’s exactly a conflation, but a parallelism. Maybe a better, or at least as good composition to me though, would have pony Twilight in the centre in the left one, with Sunset in pony Twilight’s position, and the right one left as it is.

Is it just me or a lot of vector artists often get Sunset’s colors wrong?
 
Her hair color is red/yellow,  
>>1539533t >>1859680t  
not orange/yellow.  
>>1587966t >>1643899t  
(The shade of red in her hair post-Rainbow Rocks is easily altered into orangey if the video source is not the most defined version or if you take screencaps using “print screen”… VLC is the best option)
 
 
Pony Sunset had it worse..  
Especially since…  
EG1; never got see pony SS in the daylight and fans project her EG skin color onto her pony one instead.  
>>342634t  
(even tho by default, EG skin colors are lighter than pony’s)  
They could have gotten her proper pony colors from the toy art since 2013.

Polish airing is desaturated.

>>1489322t  
Home-media releases has wash-out color.  
>Discovery Family is the only ver. w/ the original coloration and the least watched version.  
>>1758549t
 
Forgotten Friendship; only Discovery Family and Netflix have the uncorrupted colors.  
Unfortunately the YT ver. is the most watched one.  
And we got vectors colored like this as a result…  
>>1691988t >>1785412t  
Instead of…

>>1838108t >>1679412t
 
I pray whoever in charge of Hasbro’s YouTube channel get their shit together for Seaoson 2 and not screw up the video files again.  
@DarthBarf  
Colours wash out after being pulled through double or triple conversion from RGB to YUV420 and back. H264/Theora also destroy colour information with every pass, that’s why it’s a generally awful idea to perform double conversion (i.e. upload already compressed videos to any video hosting service).
 
It’s not even because of YouTube compression since I can upload Netflix ripped clips of Forgotten Friendship just perfectly fine.  
What’s their excuse?!?

I’ve really come to love this outfit over time.  

 
Still not fond of…  
@E-L-G  
Personally, I do not really like the new design for Sci-Twi. Imo, it’s unnecessary, too soon, and the one she received after transferring to Canterlot High was perfect. Unfortunately, it seems that she only came to use it in the magic specials and Summertime shorts.
Honestly, the stripes on that blouse look very out of place, or as if they did not fit. Another blouse design would have been better. :/

At first I didn’t know what to think about it (in the sense that I was just “ehh….a new outfit” wthout having strong opinions) but I growth to love that attire. She looks badass.

Since I compared Sunset’s and Twilight’s, might as well talked about the rest while I at it.
 
Doesn’t look that much different except for the boots design, which is definitely for the better.  
>>1671324t  
Still prefer something closer to…  
jeans and all  
>>1889801t  
>>1889788t
 
Previous one looks too “basic” for someone like Rarity, a fashion designer would wear.  
Maybe using colors other than purple would make the attire pop out more.  
>>1671326t
 
The rainbow thunderbolts are a tad too much.  
>>1671327t
 
Old attire fit Flutters personality way more.  
The new one is really well-designed tho especially the foot wear no, I don’t have foot fetish  
>>1671329t
 
Left one felt bland for Pinkie, someone all about fun, a bit more of color balance like her previous one would be better.  
>>1671330t  
@ImperfectXIII  
I like the design of the new one better, but the original had a better color balance between pink and blue. It’s not shown here, but I do like the addition of the bow in her hair.
 
>>1889797t
 
Server Pinkie is still her best attire to date.  
Something close to this would be so much better.  
>>1563304t
 
For someone who never cared much about fashion to begin with, Equestria Girls sure made me critical and skeptical about it xD

RD got one of the better redesigns, the pink skirt just clashed so horribly with the rest of her look that even just changing the color alone would have been a huge improvement. Also, I still prefer FG Sunset, and wish they would kept it
