Given that the upcoming pony movie has them and some Anons thought it would be a good idea to see these, I think another storytime of the two books with the first G4 seaponies would be something that would be warranted. It's been years since this first one was storytimed and neither really get mentioned much despite the unique art.
I'll start with the first one to come out.
Hope those of you who read or look at these enjoy them!
Both books, as well as the other official books to come out so far, can be found here:

Glad to see that my thread inspired more interest. Honestly, the second-coolest thing about these is how much Begin improved as an artist from the seapony one to the dragon one.
>>30743534
>>30743539
Either way the art is really unique in my opinion. I found it crazy how long she took on each page of this.
>>30743655
That's all for Under the Sparkling Sea.
The Dragons of Dazzle Island is next.
>>30743732
That's all for the book. Next I'll post the individual art images from this book if any of you want those.
>>30743816
That's all of it. Hope those of you who looked in enjoyed these books!
Again, both books can be found here along with the individual art images for The Dragons of Dazzle Island:

How is there not a SINGLE image of Ruby Redheart fanart?
For those of you who took a look, how did you like what you saw in the books?
What do you think you'd give each of these out of 10?
>>30743826
Unpopular things don't get art unfortunately.
>>30743827
Already posted before/10
Enjoy your +1 IP

Her improvement of her art from 2012 to 2016 or whenever is astounding.
>>30743826
Because unfortunately, the fandom kinda ignored these books. Hopefully that'll change soon.
>>30743827
Hadn't seen the dragon one before, and I was weirded outby the seaponies. The dragon one is gorgeous.
I have the seaponyone because I was a G1 fan, but I really hate dits version of them; I'm glad the movie's version is at least a little better. The dragon book was better in every way. Story still wasn't great, but the art was nice, unlike the first book's, which was weird and off-putting.
>>30743826
Ruby Redheart a cute.
>>30743752
hot
>>30743827
huge difference between the two/10
the seaponies book looks like the art was coming straight from gen 3.No wonder the artist used cheap toy model that didn't portray their gen 4 details.While Electra feels fine and a couple of pages are absolutely amazing to watch, the Dragon's one directly comes with that high definition from the start
even though they have been storytimed before,the experience is richer when you put them face to face
for those who have the books on physical,these seem worth to collect
>>30743826
only popular things get exposed here
I guess the background pony explosion was over around 2013/14
now,only minor characters get the spotlight instead
also,it doesn't help that this is non canon(despite they were going to put the name Aquastria for the movie)

Pls no

I'm sure you are one of those who prefers Jay Fosgitt's drawings
how did these books perform?
did they have enough profit to make a sequel?
>>30745974
I think the next thing the author did was compose the Art of Equestria book, so I don't think there's any kind of sequel in the works. I don't recall ever seeing any figures for how well the official books perform since there's nothing tracking it like the comics have.
>>30743710
Even the eggs are bigger than Spike.
>>30743824
Thanks that was really enjoyable. The lore and art are amazing. And the story made use of the characters well.
Bump for Anons who haven't seen this yet.
>>30746053
I hope the Art of Equestria have some pages on watercolor like these ones
>>30747848
>sees Art of Equestria was released in 2013
>tfw you fuck it up
>I cannot read properly
so yeah,the last work of Mary was the Dragon's book....there should be another one released before this gen is over
>>30747848
That book is already out actually. I don't recall it having anything watercolored, but I don't have the book with me now to check.
>>30748433
I got confused with another recent one that explained the characters(I remember a Glimmer description in that one),but I doubt it's focused on art
Art of Equestria had been released before I even got here
>>30743710

>Fluttershy ended up being better with the dragons and Spike with ponies
Huh, didn't expect that.
This could be a map episode though.
>>30750891
I wouldn't be surprised if they used a spare idea for the show and place it for the book instead
>>30743591
WHOA AJ what exactly are you doing there?
Personal space cowgirl!
>>30754015
don't expect less from AJ,she will show those seapony fillies how to be the ultimate cowboy
