Celestia is good at manipulating others.

I like this.  
The redemption wasn’t as bad as I was expecting though.

@tuypo1  
Alternate ending :p

I’m sad the griffon will be forgiven.

Bring me pictures! Pictures of Spidermare!

@redweasel  
She made some unflattering articles about her, which is the job she supports herself with. How vicious!
 
(I can play sarcastic devil’s advocate too!)

@redweasel  
I am detecting a hint of sarcasm here. :)

oh no, bon bon is being so harsh and not giving glenda the benefit of the doubt!
 
it’s almost like bon bon is a monster hunter, who’s not used to dealing with normal unmonstrous targets, targets who can be underfed, and can have family to support.
 
how could she be so insensitive? it’s not like the princess of the sun told bonnie the gryphon was vicious by nature, and may be preparing to assassinate somepony.
 
it’d be pretty silly to get mad at bon bon for assuming glenda was a monster, if that was what she was told!

That was the pony from “The Saddle Row Review”? Isn’t his name Buried Lede?

You draw a pretty cute Bon Bon.

You have to be careful about your outbursts. Eventually, if your responses get too strong, you might break the sites rules and moderators will step in and stop you.
 
When it comes to criticism, you have to think about whether to respond or not. If it’s obvious that the guy’s trying to get a response out of you, don’t take the bait.

The vocal bits of nearly grouping tends to be the minority. The majority silently enjoy the content in most situations.

@Pencils  
Focus… focus on the positive things, i think most people really enjoy what you create.

@Background Pony #0026  
Well said

@Pencils  
If you are a creator, it makes you a target. Making quality anything takes skill and effort. If they aren’t willing to put forth an equal effort then you shouldn’t pay much attention to them. Do whatever you need to do to handle it. Mock them, share the most silly complaints and mock them, totally ignore them (with some light mocking).
 
It’s easier to bitch than to make things. I’ve worked in the service industry for years, and for everyone that bitches, there are at least a dozen people who enjoy the service but don’t talk about it.
 
I know that a constant stream of negativity can wear on your mind, but frequency doesn’t make their points and complaints valid. Your word is appreciated. Thanks for reading this and good luck.

@Pencils  
Whether it be legit criticism or trolling, it’s not healthy to get so upset over it. I get you trying to play it off like it doesn’t affect you, but based on several of your other posts of this same nature it’s clear you’re perturbed when you get criticism that isn’t politely worded/or you can’t see where they’re coming from. Take it from a content creator who gets crapped on daily, it isn’t worth even typing out these sort of retorts, let alone letting them bother you.

Time to put you back into your cage!

So what this boiled down to then was an exercise in working towards a duck badge?

The editor is from right here on the ’booru!

Anyway, I’m glad that things seem to have been resolved amicably; and Pencils, thanks for all the pony art (so much pony art). I, for one, am looking forward to a comic that focuses more on plot than “plot”.

@Pencils
 

 
Really though. Your art is epic, your stories are exciting and your intentions are honest and pure. I truly appreciate all that you do.

Freaking love these comics. The amount of quality in his artwork is staggering. Thankyou so much for the art!
