Description

nother week, another seasonal comic. Wet manes ponies. Tell you the truth if the shading on this looks messy…..well….that’s cause I did it literally at 630am this morning before I went to bed cause I was messing around quickly on a quick shade on this. I want to experiment with this but I just decided to do it far too late. I mean the comic has been done for months on end but I only just went back before uploading this and played around about 20 mins…..when I am tired as hell so it’s…a little rough on the spots like that. :fear: But actually this and the other one aren’t usually suppose to have any type of shading so I will see if this is something I will keep going forward or not. As for now I am on the fence but we’ll see. :) Muffin is in this…do find it.
 
 
As for the comic itself. Quick stupid thing……I actually forgot the original dialogue to this comic when I was putting in the quotes. Usually I have my notebook where I like to write the comic and stuff down I know I will put in later anyway…..problem is I didn’t have anything written down for this so I had to improvise using what I remember was the basic idea for this comic. :| Trust me it was easy up till I had to figure out what to put in the 3rd panel cause that almost sets up the end of it. I like what I have but I do wish I remembered what was the original thing for this. :( It was something like this but not exactly. I do like the fact I got to make Twilight again cause for some reason I don’t make her a lot…..like ever. Oh and also….I truly don’t remember the last time I did shower panels in a comic. I THINK I did one a very long time ago but actually I don’t remember too well. Either way I will say this is the first of those type of things I did. Again I wish the shading was better on this one like the last comic but I only literally did this in about 20 mins after letting it sit there and wanting to put something in there. Oh and I will say this if the BGs seem a little bare than usual….I actually think when I was working on this I was struggling to figure out what the hell I wanted to do. There’s really no references for showers in pony except the shower with Rarity recently but that’s more like a bath tub. Ever go to the beach and they have those outdoor showers if it’s enclosed….yeah we have one at our summer house in NJ so that’s kind of where I got the idea for a hybrid or so of this show I came up with. :P It’s not bad….it’s not bad I will say. Still need work learning how to do good shower water and stuff like that. I still find it amusing I managed to make a 1/2 decent Twilight Velvet considering I have not made her at all since waaayyy back in early 2012…maybe late 2011 actually. I mean damn. :P
 
 
Ok so I need to get to sleep as I am typing this out since it’s almost 7am…..I will again mess with the soft shade on this and if I will keep it in the future…..just time is being a pain in the ass right now due to a lot of factors with school and there’s been so many family events planned the last 3 weeks that it’s chew up my afternoons and evenings. I know since it’s hockey season I will be chilling with my uncle a lot to watch the Sabres games too. :) So as for now I will leave this as is…..and forward to the next comic. Only a couple episodes more to go

It would work better if they were either full anthro, not featureless or both.

Again with the pony legs bending like a humans. And why the heck would Twilight Velvet stand like that in the shower? I think you really, REALLY need to practice your pony anatomy more. It looks like you’re simply treating them like they’re human or anthros.

Tbh this style looks gross, the heads dont match the bodies at all and speaking of the body it looks broken in everything  
you should make those comics and pass the through a quality filter to fix what looks off, even if you take longer i think its best to give your watchers a better quality instead of rushing with making comics and streaming, it doesnt looks like a hobbie anymore

Shouldn’t this be tagged as suggestive? While it indeed falls into the “uncanny valley” category, it’s an attempt at suggestiveness.

@ToxicMario hi there! I read all the comments and have been exposed to your art through other artists. I’m not a usual derpibooru user so I don’t know if this will post but I wanted to say, your art isn’t actually bad. I don’t really know why you’re getting all this hate but I’m unfamiliar with your situation. It seems to me that people are angry that you aren’t putting time into your work. I think you are, I think you’re trying and you’re practicing. You’ve just had the misfortune of falling into uncanny valley. Your style is too pony to feel human, but too human to feel pony. It gives people looking at it a strange feeling. The biggest issue for me is the legs. They’re really good when they’re posed like the scene here where you have the full body shot of Twilight’s mom just before the shot of twilight herself. But in the image right before that, and the picture of Twilight, you have the legs bent in a human way while the legs still look very ponylike, which results in making the legs look broken. I can see what you’re trying to go for, but I think it would be a good idea to try looking at furry art to see how furries blur the line between human and animal, because many furries do it in a way that doesn’t give off that uncanny valley/broken bone effect. I also suggest studying how people draw hair in general and practicing making it look soft, since the edges of the hair you draw in your ponies looks kind of jagged as if it would be sharp to touch. Shading can be a struggle, I empathize with you on that, but studying that too will certainly help you improve with it. In a scene set at night like the last panel with Twilight, I don’t think it is as necessary to include shadows since it’s already nighttime in the picture. I don’t know if other people have been nice to you when pointing out these things before, and I don’t know if you hate all criticism whether it’s constructive or not, but since I’m seeing so much about you these days I wanted to try telling you my feelings on your artwork and encourage you to keep trying to learn. I know people can be mean sometimes, especially when it comes to art, but if you like MLP then I’m sure you can appreciate kindness and accept some gentle suggestions. Studying will definitely help you improve your art, and maybe if you take some time away from posting to practice art in private, it will give other people and you a chance to cool down and get away from this drama you’ve apparently been involved in for a long time. Good luck!

have few more questions. What’s the point of velvet under the shower? How does it lead to the punchline? Why is the title mother knows best if the punchline is twilight being airsick? Are you going more for a realistic or semi-anthro style?

I sorry but it seems like someone has to have the last word and does not know how to stop because it seems like they just keep reply to your comments and usually stop if someone does not reply. but hey I guess I am just stupid to see that.

@Toxic-Mario  
LOL. Are you serious? Are you serious?!?!? I don’t have a picarto account so you can’t see if I watch your stream or not. Anyone can just open your stream and watch. What about your schedule? Now you upload comics you finished months ago. This way in a few month you will still be uploading stuff done months ago unless you take an art break. You draw comics almost daily staying up till 5 AM so your perception of your own work is possibly distorted. You draw on half of a computer screen because you sacrifice the other half for random youtube stuff like Bob Ross episodes or Japanese cooking contests for people to watch. You are well aware people wouldn’t just watch you play with Photoshop so you have to work this way because you crave for attention. I still don’t understand why you can’t simply use two screens. You spend an enormous amount of time slowly moving vector lines or nodes around until you think they are good. You use loads of layers. It seems it’s one per line or whatever. It appears like you put a lot of effort into it but then we get results that look like this comic here. Or the last week’s one. Or the one before the last week’s one. Tox, I know everything there’s needed to evaluate you and your art. I saw the stuff your drawing. The first thing that comes to mind is that godawful picture of NFL Applejack. Has it been last week? You’re going to post it in a few weeks or months and you’re going to write the same stuff again how it’s figuring things out, how it’s months old and how you hated drawing background. You’re like a broken record. Get your s together for once.

Yeah I don’t think you’ve been in my streams. I know who goes there and also I know what you’re trying to do but hey….you just tell yourself that newer stuff isn’t better. I do find it funny you completely overlooked the schedule comment….stirring drama I see as most of the comments sections here now do. :|
 
@OwlVortex  
Owl…get over it. Only defending myself when people make false assumptions or stuff they want people to think is true. Anyone would do the same so don’t be stupid.
Background Pony #B47A
A question. Why every comic is of a massive resolution?  
Like i wanna read, but zoomed out it’s too small and zoomed in is too big.
Background Pony #09D2
@Toxic-Mario  
Son, I visited your streams. I saw that you didn’t improve at all if your recent pony monstrosities are any indication. You livestream and you are trying to say someone won’t know your “schedule”? What the hell?

@Toxic-Mario  
really Tox you don’t have to have the last word, what are you doing right now. Stop replying to Background Pony because really this right here is dumb, it the same every week some random person on the internet say something bad about your art .(not even going into how you take criticism here) and you have to reply, why is it so bloody hard for you to just stop replying. because you are just making things worse for self. Just don’t reply is that simple
Background Pony #09D2
@Toxic-Mario  
BS?? Lol nope. Every week you try to fend off all criticism by writing it’s “old stuff”, “months old stuff”, “figuring out at the time”. You wrote in a comic description you made the sloppy last-minute shading just because. It’s not even half-assing. You genuinely don’t give a f. You spend a lot of time on these comics but you put no real effort nor thought into making them. You’re just grinding.
Background Pony #09D2
@Toxic-Mario  
Are you going to use the “old stuff” excuse forever? How many times did you say that you had tried something for the first time at the time? You come up with the same excuses every single weeks.  
Your excuse for the messy shading is ridiculous too. Spend more time on it if you need instead of rushing things.  
I believe you tried to make this comic suggestive but it came out as a really unsettling one. Semi-anthros are usually creepy. Your style adds an extra layer of creepiness.
