I like ponies, Hondas, other cars, drifting, driving fast, and skating. I also do other things. I am building a Rainbow Dash Itasha Honda Civic: http://bit.ly/1DFAX6S

    If anyone's been wondering where I am, here it is.

    I haven't been in the ponyfic game for a while. Like a couple years. Mainly because I didn't find a whole lot of time, or I'd mainly go on here once in a while to check out a clopfic or something. Pretty much it hasn't crossed my mind to go on fimfic in a really long time. I've gotten more into building my car, and I got another car for drifting, which I need to get off my ass and fix instead of

    I'm writing again.

    Well, it doesn't often happen, but I started writing a new fic. My first one was a Sonic the Hedgehog fic, before I even knew other Sonic fans existed. It was silly, and I never published it. It's probably still hand written on old loose leaf paper somewhere. The most recent (finished) one I've published is based on a fic I enjoyed immensely, and I wrote a side story to get me into writing

    Best first comment ever, hands down.

    I saw this on Facebook, and couldn't find a good place to put it, since first comments are so rare.

    off. Getting the 1st comment has been a dream of
    mine for many hours, and I would like to thank those

Funny, I don't normally... · 10:53pm Apr 30th, 2013

...critique in great detail. But I did today! 10 minutes ago! Go me!
Check it out below.

Critique from EqD comments:
I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it wasn't perfect.
The wing animation is awkward, though that may be due to the fact that no one's put a good foot forward into SFM wing animation. I tolerated it for that reason.
Then, music with word splicing just looks so weird in 3D. If it were the original 'So Many Wonders,' where the words flowed fluidly, then the mouth movement wouldn't look so forced, like slurring, instead of the video splicing with the audio. <--(I don't know how much sense that makes to others.) The hair movement was a bit odd, due to it probably all being in a single... thing, whatever they're called. (Clearly I'm no SFM expert.) Basically it's all one strand instead of many, so it all falls together at one time in one place. There were also a couple of glitches, but they weren't really so jarring as to make the video unwatchable.
On to the good points. The camera angles were extremely well done and immersive, even if a bit jerky at times.
The body movements not mentioned above were spot on, some bigger ones being the slight 'slow down' before landing, and the knees(?) bending to absorb the shock of the landing. Then there were the facial movements. SFM has come a long way, and I used to think it was daunting. But the animators slowly improved to make it not be so jerky in it's movement. This I can appreciate. The ear flicks, the eyes darting around, and the eyes closing and opening were some really high-priority items on the positives list.
I hope this was a thorough enough analysis, and if it isn't you're asking too much! :D
