Today I saw a goose eating a moose, so it ran loose.
Holy crap I didn’t know I could get away with using tif files!
For the fans, you’ve probably noticed the absence of floppy ears on Klonoa. I just found the ears Klonoa originally had to be pretty damn awkward, so I gave him actual wing ears instead. It gives him a cleaner profile, and more dynamic design if I can say that.
In regards to the last panel, just because I drew some of the characters in a really bad way doesn’t mean I hate them. In fact I like them very much, I just thought it would be fun to make fun of them for just a bit. Besides that, it will keep me from drawing them in really stiff and boring ways for the times I draw them seriously.
I can’t stand Rainbow Dash. I HATE her.She pretends to be a strong-willed, loyal pony, but to me, her voice is annoying, she’s obnoxious, a cheater, judgmental, selfish, a jerk to her friends, she toots her own horn/glorifies herself, only to learn the same lesson every time she’s the star of an episode, and when it comes down to it, she isn’t as good as she says she is, hence having a mental breakdown in S1E16.

You should probably hate the writers, not the character. This season made a lot of the ponies look like sheet. Rainbow Dash in the first season was pretty loyal and considerate, albeit she was boastful and somewhat rude sometimes. Like in Griffin Brush-Off, while she and Pinkie Pie were pulling pranks on their friends, they came to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash even said that they shouldn’t prank her lest they hurt her feelings. When she found out that Pinkie Pie had her peer through a telescope that gave her a black eye the whole time, Rainbow Dash took that very well.
Contrast that to what happened in this season. Rainbow Dash was put into situations that basically made her into a brash, egomaniacal jackass; One of the worst cases being in “The Mysterious Mare Do Well”. She was getting on everyone’s nerves about being a superhero (where ever the hell that came from), demanding respect for everything, even opening up somebody’s jar. Indeed what happened in “Read it and Weep it”, she was just so damn insecure about her reading books. Yet she went through such extremes that ended up making her look like a big idiot. Thus she does indeed get a recycled lesson, which only irritated me because her humility was already discussed before.
You probably didn’t hate Rainbow Dash this much until the episodes in the second season started to air. I know that’s what happened to me, and my dislike is not exclusive only to her. I started to dislike practically everyone especially since I saw much of the second season episodes. In the first season I didn’t particularly like them to begin with, but I was forgiving of their flaws. If I didn’t know any better, I too would absolutely hate these ponies.
However I do know that’s really not what they were like the last time; They acted so differently from how I remember them from the last season, it’s like they’re entirely different characters. All of the flaws they had from the first season were exaggerated. Sometimes characters were given new flaws that they never had before (Like Twilight Sparkle, she was a cool-headed brainy character. Now she’s a high-strung, socially awkward, thick headed mess). All things considered, I blame the writers for their awful characterizations, not the characters themselves.
