that and choosing an artist more known for mecha than humans

@Background Pony #1DDF  
Comparing a pony artist to a person who never even draws ponies themselves. Nice try.
 
Also, 2-months late. Let’s not start up old dramas please.

Frankly Masami Obari could draw ponies better than Fosgitt can, and look at his artwork:
 

 
Kinda see what I mean? Obari’s infamous for drawing terrible character designs…

@Beau Skunky  
I don’t see anything wrong with his art, except some people may find the anatomy to be a little off. I like his style too.

@Beau Skunky  
nice find.

Y’know, I actually found Fosgitt’s DA gallery. Even if you all hate his pony stuff, you gatta admit he does do some nice stuff.

It’s a picture, but I wouldn’t call it art.

@Zharkaer
 
maybe a surname or reveal greta’s a nickname in the case of the IDW character?

@OptimusPrimevil  
Maybe, her original design just looked like a slightly different Gilda to me.
 
Probably be better if they did change the name, seeing all the fan anger over it.

@OptimusPrimevil  
No idea. Seems like a good idea.

@Beau Skunky  
non-standard design pops out of the crowd kind of thing?
 
@Zharkaer  
ah! think they’ll change the name if it’s released in a tpb?

@OptimusPrimevil  
@Zharkaer  
Yeah, there was drama over the old griffon too. Forgot his name. Could be also comic editors not having access to the original designs. So it might not even be entirely Fosgit’s fault.
 
Is it bad I kinda liked the chubby Greta better? lol

@OptimusPrimevil  
The writer intended them to be the same, I believe.

@Beau Skunky  
the biggest complaint that i can recall other than the on-model one was greta being different from the one in the show.
 
did they ever clarify if that’s a different greta or same character but miscommunication issues resulted in a different design

@OptimusPrimevil  
Yeah, I’ve seen fanartists with much more exaggerated, or outlandish styles who get nothing, but praise. If Fosgit was a fanartist, nobody would complain about his art. I guess everyone wants the comics to just look only one way, or like they were done by one artist.
 
Even in terms of official artists, I honestly prefer Fosgit over Garbowska, Tony Fleecs, Katie, and some of the “Micro” MLP comic artists. (But they still have cute/good art too sometimes, don’t get me wrong.)  
Plus, it’s nice to have some of the official comic artists who doesn’t emulate the show/Faust style.  
A common complaint tends to be he’s not always “on-model,” but to quote John K. (creator of “Ren & Stimpy”) staying on-model is for commies, I say. lol

@Beau Skunky  
that something that bugs me.
 
how come his art gets hit for not “looking like the actual characters” but when other artists draw official characters in their own style, almost no one uses that particular criticism?
 
the only thing that separates them is one if official, the others are not (fan artists).

@Background Pony #0DC0  
Yeah, we can’t have a single image of his here now without people trying to start drama, or going, “Ew Fosgit!” constantly now. I understand his style isn’t everyone’s appeal, and he’s not always perfect, but it’s getting annoying. Even people who like his stuff are getting afraid to compliment them now.
 
Also, seriously stuff like this is effing adorable.  

@Beau Skunky  
Precisely. I’ve always considred his stuff to be really cute, no clue why people have made as big a stink as they have.

yes.

@Background Pony #5B1A  
The Cloppers would disagree, though they have their hands full right now to comment. :P

I’ll tell you what MLP-related ISN’T art. Clopfics

@Zharkaer  
I see… Though, granted he’s never refered to as such in the comic, so it’s an ignorable hiccup, at least.

@Anon-a-Miss  
To be fair, when was said character refered to as “Gruff?”  
Also, I kinda liked the chubby Greta design, (probably the only one who does) but she might’ve been meant to be a different character, for all we know from looking at the differing designs, or they accidently gave her the wrong name. I don’t know.  
Plus even the show Gretta was a pretty minor character, so it’s possible the comic makers might’ve not known she existed when making a different Gretta. (These are just speculation, so don’t quote me on any of this.)
 
So it’s probably not even entirely Jay’s fault for that for all we know, and it might’ve been confusion on part of the editors, who are more-so in charge of the comic then the artists are. Comic artists, especially those on licensed comics aren’t just allowed to draw whatever they want, they have to have some direction, people forget.
