At least I can do it in my pajamas... · 6:41am May 13th, 2013
One of my illustration clients is wanting to start speeding things along (me too; it's been taking forever), so the next chapter might be delayed a bit.
I've written most of it out, but as of now it leads into an arc I'm not sure is entirely necessary. On the one hand, encounters need to happen out in the city with different kinds of people (let's fire them at a pony and see what happens!), but on the other it needs to segue into something qualitatively new instead of just being deposited back out on the street. Hmmm... I suppose I could have it lead into the other thing I want to have happen out on the street, but how to do it naturally...?
While I mull that over, enjoy this surprisingly well-produced music video of the International Space Station's Chris Hadfield covering David Bowie, with a couple lyrics changes to make it about being sad to be going home, instead of deciding never to (I guess that Harlem Shake they did was just a warm up act):
(I can't top my friend's assessment that it'd be worth it even if this is all they built the thing to do.)
As for the Equestria Girls preview? Hm. For one thing, wasn't "Equestria girls" the exact premise of the actual show? Not like the HBO show "Girls" but the literal kind (Try watching that back to back with FiM, though - Suddenly MLP feels like a Shonen show about fighting monsters). But from what I've seen it could be a lot worse. I'm going to reserve judgement, though, and see if a consensus starts to form over it. In other words, you guys all go see it first and tell me how it is.
But what I want to know is, why are the ponies - animals which in real life have twiggy, knobbly limbs - so adorably chubby and filled out, while the humans - animals which in real life have smooth, sleek limbs - are so damn skinny and pointy?
