The art style is starting to grow on me, not gonna lie.

I’m willing to laugh at this, and actually the art quality is better than what we’ve been seeing. But the absence of RD’s wings really bothers me.

Only in pony life, thank god. In fim she would get fired from the academy lol

All these mad people and I’m just sitting here like “Yup. Fat dash is canon, and it’s the biggest improvement her character has ever gotten.”

@Beau Skunky  
that doesn’t stop people from vehemently pushing the whole “CALARTS BAD” mantra - John K. could murder someone and these people would still go “CALARTS BAD”

@Beau Skunky  
yyyyyyyup.

@Beau Skunky  
Oh… Fr I didn’t realize we were talking about the Rent and Stumpy guy…
 
Yeah fr, plus not only that but the ‘kickstarter’ for his Cans with no Labels was a complete disaster.
 
If you haven’t heard about it, TheMysteriousMrEnter did a video reviewing the whole thing. But yeah, the guy’s gotten worse it seems

@northern haste  
@CaptainGrumpy  
Didn’t John K. (the guy whom invented the term/stigma/meme for “CalArts style”) get busted for being a pedo’ perv’?
 
As much as I love “Ren & Stimpy,” he’s still a creep, and not all his opinions on animation are “fact.” (In fact, the guy famously wrote a terrible anonymous review of “Animaniacs.”)

@CaptainGrumpy  
Yey

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
yeah I mean it’s a digital short series in the same vein of various other chibified shorts - Avatar’s done it, Naruto’s done it, Attack on Titan’s done it, etc.

the CalArts artstyle was made up by John Kricfalusi to refer to people who took inspiration from Disney and not him

@CaptainGrumpy  

 
I honestly think the writers went with this for times sake. Y’know less to draw but with something still manageable to work with

@Background Pony #89CA  
nah m8 don’t you know that according to the Big Book of “TWOO FAN” Logic, if you draw in this artstyle you’re automatically enrolled into CalArts

@CaptainGrumpy  
They’re stupid.
 
 
@Vivace  
Yep. I think nobody in Pony Life’s production staff actually went to CalArts, since Boulder Media is located in Dublin. They probably went to European colleges!

I love how much the ratio has changed for these images
