infect your computer with some stds unknown to science

I know i wasn’t asked to do it, but i hope you don’t mind.

Necks are getting longer and longer…
At this rate it will become My Little Giraffe in no time

While they deprived us of proper protagonist(Sunny), design-wise these(except pipp) sucks a 5-feet long shlong.
Same complaint goes to current design of Opaline and Misty. Designer and those who supposed to do quality control deserve a beating. Because these color schemes are absolute no-go.
P.S. i’m aware that these designs are official and were rejected, complaint goes mostly to the design decisions that affected Misty and Opaline.

@Sparkler
yeh i think it’s better
although font is a bit strange with some letters leaning in different directions

but i like it much more than modern version

AAAAAAAAAA

that depends on a number of factors: resin, exposure/curing time, size of the model, infill and thickness of the walls
1.5-2.5mm walls on hollowed pony models(10-12cm tall) are quite sturdy if exposed and cured properly. (Elegoo Standard ABS-like resin)

@Dsiak
The method itself is older than FDM. It’s called SLA or Stereolythography, or simply Resin Printing.
It uses UV light source and lcd matrix to mask it. Resin itself is quite toxic(skin irritant). There’s also UV light, but the source is located beneath the resin vat so you don’t see it most of the time.
It has its pros and cons compared to fdm. Major pro is fidelity of details.
Major con is the process of slicing. Because unlike fdm, resin printing is mostly about supports placement.
Speed is also isn’t very fast, it mostly depends on model height as each layer has same time of exposure(except for the first few layers)

I feel that

COWABUNGA IT IS

@Background Pony #F9DF
it’s the movie models being used for the promo of the special (izzy’s mane is movie-grade long)

@Background Pony #42E6
really? that’s a shame.
I never had more than one, and shooting range has only one instance of it as well so i couldn’t check

this one is a reference to the recent events in Attack on Titan
matrix fits, but it is what it is

Looks like https://derpibooru.org/tags/artist-colon-tre

@Background Pony #44A6
There are quite a few pictures with similar “smol” theme. I think i used this one as a reference

@Argos09
latter

That’s to be expected.
However more disappointing is the fact how “whole” Maretime Bay is just a single block.
If you pay attention you may notice that Sunny goes back’n’forth + teleports during the song, and during the escape with Izzy they run around the same block only to escape to the lighthouse after that. Problem is that Izzy came from the side where the lighthouse is at. So they could have just run straight to the lighthouse, but they went deeper into the town instead.

while i still oppose the idea that Zephyr Heights is ex-Canterlot, this one does look plausible, considering the fact that Sunny’s map is upside down(light direction in the morning/day, it shines from the left/upper left relative to map)

considering the schedule at the abandoned station, it all takes place on east coast of equestria  
Schedule board lists following:  
Bridlewood  
Maretime Bay  
Zephyr…  
Neighagara  
Manehattan  
Regional  
Regional  
Mt Equ…
 
Now the IRL prototypes of the highlighted ones are located in close viscinity
 
So in theory it means that all those destinations are within reach of a single flight.
 
Now it took about 1 day and 1 night to travel from Maretime Bay to Zephyr Heights and about 1 day and 1 night to get to Bridlewood from ZH.  
And here’s the map from the diary.
 
The only inconsistent/confusing thing is sun direction, it’s inconsistant and inaccurate. Unless Sunny’s map is upside down(which could be real)  
_  
edit: i checked with the movie and looks like the map is upside down. South-up, East-left, West-right, North-down.

@RascalPascal  
likely the latter

Ну не сказал бы, сорта фетиш на мазохизм.

me neither

@Background Pony #7AFB  
eh…while original works too, it feels a bit too fake/bland for cartoony :D smile (and MANIAC vibe returns too)
