Why do cutie marks only appear on fur?

>>27010815
cuz it's just a colouring to their coat, not a tattoo

nice queestion op

Explains how Starlight was able to remove them so easily

it's magic, OP, don't try to explain it

btw: i always find it weird that every artist treats their coat like skin when it's actually hair

Because cutiemarks are like gray hair, they kinda pop out

>>27011847
Thats cuz 1 lots of tiny hair is really hard to draw, and 2 drawing hair all tufty makes it furry trash style

>>27011847
That's usually how it's treated in the show, though.

>>27011886
This. They even got sunburn in one episode

It's the other way around, dumbass.
Furry trash as a style uses smooth lines with no discernable tufts of fur like ponies, exactly because it's so easy to draw. Compare to for example pic related, which is anything but furry trash.

Their coats are really just a thin layer of skin with peach fuzz

Perhaps it's symbolic of how your cutie mark does not define you.

i was going to comment about the anthro, but that whole image is beautiful.

>>27012405
RIP show. It sure as hell defines you with the current lore.

>>27010815
Personally I think that cutie marks' colorations originate from the individual fur follicles and the color is present on the individual strands. This way if one shaves the fur, it'll "regrow" the cutie marks back with the fur. To explain losing cutie marks, magic shifts color output of the follicles to whatever pattern the mark is to be. The color, since it's just pigment in the hair strand, can also be altered to give temporary colors or be painted over as needed.

>>fur
Horses have a coat of hair not fur dumb shit

>>27011912
God knows I hate furfags, but I can't deny they have some God-gifted artists on board. When was the last time you saw a new pony image at that level of skill?

Get In Here Faggots

>>27010815
Who cares?

>>27014504
There are some really great furry artists but the worst furry artists are not as bad as the worst pone artists imo.

>>27014703
That's because pony artists are literal children.

>>27014504
we had one fairly recently of the school house and CMC.

>>27014719
Hol' on a sec, I mixed up what I said. My mind was too much on porn to type correctly. The worst pone artists are not as bad as the worst furry artists******

>>27010815
That was fur all along!?

I always thought it was pastel colored elastomer.

I'm pretty sure these episodes demonstrated that your cutie mark, at least as it appears on the surface, does not define who you are.

>>27012591
Fuck you dude not all of us can memorize every episode from every season in order to identify it by a singular image.
Now tell me what episode its from faggot.

>>27016285
Cutie marks have never made sense and are portrayed in so many fucking difrent ways they should probably have just never acknowledged there existance

>>27018097
I think you should leave this board then
