Potential Cover Photo Change · 12:03am Sep 24th, 2016
Since quite a few people have been relentlessly bugging me for the current cover photo, I have come to the conclusion that I should probably change it. Now, please understand that this decision is not permanent nor final. I just cooked up a few extras to see what the general consensus is with the readers. Tell me what you guys think of these.
Personally, I prefer the second one. It makes them look more age appropriate to the story.
First one is adorable, but the second one DOES seem more viewing-appropriate.
I think you know the question I want to ask in regards to both of them
I actually like the first one. Second one is basically an older version of the current cover and it makes 'em look like college students.
First one look cute IMO
To be honest I see nothing wrong with the current cover but that just me . ☺
Meh, I like the current one.
Me I like the one the story already has and the first one here too
first one is better, but the current one is just fine to me

You know, the funny thing is: that first pic is incredibly lewd. If you saw the full version of it.
I see no issue with the current cover art, but if I had to pick between these two, I'd go with the second one.
I like them all, including the current one. I don't know why y'all were bugging the author for a full version. I found it pretty quickly with a Google search.
4223363 I think i have seen it. You can just put the derpi number on the cover of it so people can find it. no link, just the number
Both of them look great, but I have to agree with you on the second one. Any chance you could PM the source for both?
I prefer the first.
the first one looks good but i like the current pic
4223391 me 2 plz
Ps second photo sweetie belle looks sexy
4223391 The second one is going to be difficult because it is heavily edited.
4223373 I'm not sure if you read the most recent chapter, but I found a lovely pic of how I felt Derpy would have looked like when she answered the door. If you're interested, I can PM it to you.
4223386 I found an even more perfect one earlier, but sadly... it contains full-frontal nudity in such a way that I can't really edit it.
4223363 My body is ready!
4223452 Fine, I'll just PM you some good pics. Happy?
4223425 me to please
4223426 yeah, that sucks sometimes. Been thinking about finding a new cover for mine, but can't find one that isn't lewd
4223422 That's alright, I can wait.
I found a picture of Sweetie Belle and Button Mash that would be great for this story, but the necessary editing would ruin it.
4223479 you mean with a naked Sweetie Belle and Clothed Button mash playing video games? Enclave and I already talked over that image.
4223363 OH.... MY...
4223491 Yep. That's the one.
See what you get when you don't shut up folks? All you had to do was a little digging on your own, but nope.
The first one's cute, but it conveys sickness more than embarrassment. The other, meh, they just look like adults.
4223591 don't you just love Google at times?
4223601 What's really sad is Google is stupidly easy to use, but many people can't figure it out.
4223671 if only internet users had a brain.

That might be a valid complaint except reverse image search is showing nothing helpful and looking for specific nude humanised pony pictures on the net is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As for the question of changing the cover image, you're going to have the same issue I think. People will want to know the source.
Could you have the artists name at the bottom of the synopsis? No link or anything, just the name?

To be more specific reverse searching the image just links back to the story and searching all relative tags on derpibooru, even with all filters off yields nothing. Luckly I did manage to stumble on the artist by accident, and her name is SatraThai. (mind you, I still cant seem to find the nude edit of the picture)
4223726 Faith in humanity ebbing. Search for "naked cutie mark crusaders" and have a little diligence.
I wonder if changing the cover picture will solve anything or will people just start pestering you for the new one unless of course you find one that you can use the entire picture. As for the new cover picture I guess I like the first one because it kinda looks like the show and the second one I'm not sure why but I think it looks ghastly.
Second one
I kinda like the existing cover art, but between the two presented here, I think the second one is better. It's still kind of tantalising though. Personally I find it annoying to have to sift through pages and pages of porn just to find ANY pictures of the Equestria Girls characters without any clothes on that *aren't* pornographic. I understand that you can't make the cover art featuring nudity on this site, that's fine. Though I'm not sure what the objection is to linking it off site, unless I've missed something?
4223753 Like I mentioned earlier, I did edit all of these photos. Meaning: you probably wouldn't find it with a reverse image search because I never posted it publicly for people to find. And as far as the cover I currently use, Sarathai did make a nude edit of the pic, but you won't find that on DA. I had to... go to more "pornographic" websites to find that.
4223469 Maybe I could help? My photo editing skills aren't god-like by any means, but I could at least try.
4223942 Thanks but I think I got a couple good candidates for replacements. Gonna run them by my readers with a poll or something. I'll keep your offer in mind in case I need it.
4223957 You've peaked my interest, I'm curious as to what you have in mind. Could I possibly see what you chose?
4223962 sure but it's going to have to wait until later. Got a long day of studying today for a test on Monday
I like the current cover art but if you're definitely going to change it to one of these two I would go with the second.
4224596 I think I'm just going to stick with the one I have already.
I think the first one does the story justice.
I would go with the second picture. Nudity in this story isn't something to be shocked or embarrassed over. They are confident and know what they are doing.
Go Crusaders Go!

Glad to hear it.
