She's going to distract Rarity, rob her, and use the money to help reconstruct Griffonstone.

He's not ever going to try to be accurate is he.

At least the way Gilda is drawn looks alright. For now.

Well, at least this time he recolored the cutie mark he stole. I guess technically it is Hasbro property, though the vector is fan made, so not nearly as bad as the whisk. But I have to admit I looked at a lot of horseshoe clipart trying to catch him at it again before I found this. It's just so lazy.

>>25865472
He got on the series because of nepotism, he doesn't have to try. It doesn't even look like Carousel Boutique either.

>>25865496
Actually the dots don't add up quite right, so maybe it's just heavily inspired. To give him some credit there's not much you can do with horseshoes. Still think he's a shit though.

>>25865496
That is fucking amazing.

I could never get used to this art style. Everyone looks all anime SD like. I'll still buy it but that's due to Gilda actually being in it.

>>25865324

>>25865362
On the one hand, interesting to see a pony apparently from outside of Equestria.

On the other, holy shit those awful poses. This is what, Fosgitt's... third comic for them, and nobody's told him he's supposed to be drawing ponies yet?

>>25865560
I think they openly accept him drawing in this style.

I personally wonder why you'd even be on an MLP book at all if you can't draw horses.

>DTxSS ff comic artist will never draw another comic because the staff think that she don't have enough experience with MLP

Thanks Bobby.

>>25865749

>I'd take her self inserting her lesbian OC in the backgrounds of issue over all this shit.

Nope, Bobby don't give a shit about that OC(like everything in the comic), the artist is just a newfag for the staff

>>25865796

Ah, you mean she actually has a semblance of artistic talent that is both on model and creative and passion for the franchise? Yeah, she wouldn't fit in at IDW.

>>25865736
>they hired fosgitt instead because Katie Cooke and Andy Price recommendations

Sauce please?
I still haven't raged enough.

>>25865847
It was a thread in the IDW forum where he admitted he had never watched the show before and Cook/Price got him on with IDW. Unfortunately, their forums are broken.

Dude, part of the whole reason people make vectors is so that other people can use them. And that's not fanart, it's a vector of something directly in the show.

And seeing as how Luckette literally is Hasbro's property and already appeared in the show he could have probably copied it directly from the show itself.

>>25865971
And here comes the IDW defense squad.

So, this is your life?

I don't look into the comics often but I fucking love Gilda. Is there a site that ships internationally and how do I find both variant covers.

>>25865971
Yeah, as much as I hate Fosgitt and think he's a lazy bitch, I do have to agree this isn't exactly a direct copy. And even if it is it's not any worse than him using Rarity's cutie mark to save all of ten seconds throughout the comic since it's a symbol used in the actual show for Luckette and is "Hasbro property".

>>25865862

Great, another reason to hate Katie and Andy

>>25866014
And what are you doing? Browse the internet all day looking for evidence of the artist copy pasting public domain images. You're just as pathetic.

No, you're worse. Because this >>25865971 is a valid point and this >>25865496 is an obsession.

>>25866091
It's not an obsession. It's not even a hobby. I just wanted to catch him doing something else shitty for fun after he literally stole clipart for his last comic (which is a more legitimate case than this, and I have admitted that the vector I found may not have been directly copied). I only really looked at about 5-6 pages of clipart quickly through google images, since the last one he stole was one of the immediate image results.

>>25866091
I love how you don't even try to deny the accusation.

>>25866135
Because im not here to defend IDW. I hate the "damage control" and "shill" bullshit in this kinds of debates. This OP >>25865971 made a valid point and the first response is not a counter arguement but an accusation. Fuck you. You're shit.

>>25866165
>Because im not here to defend IDW.

Your actions say otherwise.

Look, if you have self confidance issues and think that "standing" for a lazyass (who will never thank you for being his whiteknight) will somehow make you one of the cool kiids, fine.

You are still a pitful IDWanker shill, though.

Also, Griffons are penny pinching dicks, why would they commission Rarity to design their jerseys instead of just mud-painting numbers on old potato sacks?...And I just had the thought that Gilda's going to turn around and say they can't pay but it'll be great "exposure" for Rarity's name and it'll be some preachy thing where Rarity talks about the worth of an artist because they all hate that exposure shit.

>>25866351
...which would totally go against who Rarity is because this is the pony who physically endangers herself to make others happy. Maybe Griffonstone got less greedy after RD/PP went?

Supposedly this is about Gilda being a bitch and demanding perfection and Rarity fixing everything in Griffonstone.

>>25872433
This is his fifth issue. If he hasn't gotten in style now, it's because of apathy, not ignorance.

He's had over a year of people telling him that these ugly things are "cute" and his issues sell very well. You think he's going to stop?

>>25872514
>This is his fifth issue. If he hasn't gotten in style now, it's because of apathy, not ignorance.

Nah, it's becaiuse of autistic shiteaters praising him and making him think he's an innovative super artist.

You can also thank the shills from Equestria Daily, since they can't stop slurping his dick whenever they have the chance to do so.

They think of themselves as internet celebrities entitled to decide things for everyone else.

>>25873351
Yes, he does go too far, like when he drew Celestia sitting last issue. He's also a lazy fuck for using (stolen) clipart in his work. And he can't even get the setting correct because he drew Cloudsdale with brick walls. All valid complaints. But "it doesn't look like the show" is not a valid complaint. Plus, anatomy is also broken in the show when it is needed. You think a real horse can do this?

>>25873382
But WHY? Rarity is a unicorn. If you want her to go the entire comic without touching anything with her hooves at all, you can. Why bother doing this?

He also drew Ponyville with picket fences and modern houses and completely got Carousel Boutique wrong too.

>>25873403
Because he simply doesn't give a fuck and is not dedicated to this franchise at all. And that's a problem with more of the artists (and writers!) for the comics.

>>25865324
>>25865340
>>25865362

This just irks me so much. Especially since I've been going through The Art of Equestria book since I got it yesterday, and the foreword by Jayson Thiessen is entirely about this.

>From the way the locations are designed, to the way the characters move, to the way they talk, everything has to revolve around the simple fact that they are four-legged, hoofed mammals. This is the way Lauren Faust originally envisioned the show, and it's a rule we will continue to enforce as long as we make the show.

>>25873008

Every Eqd opinion about fosgitt: the post

>>25873460
Thiessen and Miller being so into Faust's ideas has kept this show from becoming the comics.

>>25873467
Just The Illustrious Q posting here to apply damage control.

I remember when he came here, angry as fuck because of a reaction image mocking IDW's boards current status.
It got so bad that a mod actually jumped in and deleted the thread to help him save face.

>>25873504
Fast was opposed to the idea of reforming villains.

Miller and Meghan have been using the friendship brainwash for as much they can, and as a result the show now quit having ANY fukcking antagonists that could keep the story going anywhere.

>>25873533
I mean more in a looser sense of keeping characters bipedal and the like.

I'd post there and comment on issues, but I can't even navigate to the MLP subforum without it crashing.

>>25873460
I never liked how much Faust enforced the characters to look like actual horses. From the ridiculous idea of bridles to the stomping of the ground instead of "clapping", all of it just makes the characters less appealing. All it manages to achieve is conform to some autistic sense of "anatomic purity".

They're cartoons, not real horses.

>>25873597
You realize that Sprite didn't even work for IDW, he was just a superfan like Q given free reign?

>>25873673
Not everything Faust had in her head was great.

She wanted Applejack to buck apples by slamming her head in the trees. How stupid is that? Hasbro had to tell her to change it. And then people put her on a pedestal.

Again, her insistence on making them as much as real horses as possible only hurts a cartoon show.

>>25875604
I don't really mind the art as much. Obviously a lot of people are divided over it and it's hard to defend either side on EQD or /mlp/ without one calling the other out on whatever.

>>25875631
I was OK with Fosgitt's art back in that one with Dash and Spitfire, not my taste but it was fine.
However, there is a certain line where it stops being okay, for example when a pony stands on his four legs only once per 3 pages and its hooves are wider/bigger than its body. Panel 3 on page 2 is all sorts of wrong. Panel 5 and 6 as well, Rarity is quite literally just walking on her back hooves like it's nothing. Considering that cute pony art is basically like 70% of the reasoning why I'm even following the comics, when they stop being ponies it becomes a problem to me.
