By the way, thanks for the couch there, Digo. I definitely needed it for this one. =P
Is it?
I got no idea.
I wonder if Blueblood will try to escape on the royal yacht, so that we get a screencap of the time he and Rarity christened it (or is that... sunlit it?).

(There is potential for They Changed It Now It's Ruined Forever, but in this case I doubt that will be a problem for a long time, if ever.)
Dude, fantastic job! It was definitely the "Artist" that made me do a double take, very well done!
You can see it in the noses, Digo. The bridge is more prominent in the show. It should be super obvious from Pinkie Pie's face in the last panel. Seems to be a particular artstyle signature mark of ChristheS.
Really? o.O
But these are mostly new muzzles, traced from screencaps from this very episode... I actually made an effort :(

Also, I knew someone was gonna critique the tiniest meaningless differences from the show models. It was inevitable.
I figured it was going to be the eyes, not the noses...
The eyes vary enough in the show itself that any slight difference in them is easily overlooked. The muzzles, however, have been basically the same for 7 seasons. People's pattern/face recognition neurons have internalized them, and so can more easily spot changes.
For me, the definite tip off for this not being a screencap was Fluttershy's mouth in the last panel.
Fluttershy and Pinkie in the first panel was a hint that it wasn't from the show, but since those two are in the background, I thought the shot of AJ, Twilight, and Rarity running was just a few seconds of the episode that I didn't remember after so many years.
It was on the third look at the characters that I recognized the style from Star Mares.

Really? Given how close we are to the ep's end, I was hoping for a big finale at 1000, and then on to next (paragon?) tier.
Nothing wrong with deviating from show screencaps when your story calls for it.
And unless you did traced muzzles for Every. Single. Drawing, your own artstyle would peek through. Kinda inevitable as the show style muzzle is basically the exact same drawing/vector of each angle copied over and over again.
Pretty sure that the actual Canterlot Castle doesn't have wall sconces yoinked from SW:TOR :)
Honestly, I didn't notice at all. Admittedly, it's common for nuances in art to fly over my head at first glance, but it's been so long since I've seen The Best Night Ever that I didn't at all suspect that these weren't straight screencaps.
Rails, I don't see any rails.
Haven't since Twilight destroyed them in episode 2.

I came up with a new persona.
Bare bones only.
I guess he would technically be a necromancer.
His entire body is fear.
Even looking at his finger would give you the creeps.
He has a face that only Cthulhu can withstand. (No relation)
He has to cover up his entire body to be in public.
He does not have the ability to turn off the fear aura.
What do you guys think?

Would that make clowns his mortal enemies?
Also, if everyone's creeped out by him, how does he get food et al? Lots of people instinctively seek to destroy what they fear, so wouldn't he be refused service at and sent away from any store or restaurant? Does he live off of delivery services and vending machines, and shaking down passers-by for cash?
And especially these days, if he passes through a neighborhood where the cops are less than professional (say, any place where the cops routinely pull black drivers over for Driving While Black), how does he go more than several blocks without being arrested for whatever charge the cops make up (because said police equate "someone I fear" with "someone I need to get off the streets", law be damned), every time he goes to such a place? (Being 100% covered up would also make him look suspicious, perhaps not as much but still subject to a high rate of random arrest.)
I mean, I get the on-first-glance appeal, but he seems incredibly weaksauce in practice.
Like I said, bare bones.
More classic D&D style environment.
Wizard robe and hood, with mask, as second cover.
With Kakashi eating through mask way.
First place he goes to in a new town is go to the leader or head of defense to explain.
They don't want him, he leaves.

For getting food, it might go like this:
"Hi, I'd like your blue plate special."
"GASP! Urrrg... (Faint)."
"So... it's self-serve then?"

I recall Volke from "Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance," who first presents himself as a thief but turns out to be a skilled assassin. On the player's side, mercifully.
I see Fluttershy is learning the ways of tabletop gaming.
Paranoia, superstition, and a deep fear of character death that rivals your own IRL fear of death.
She's truly grown into a proper player.

And if you'll look to your left, you'll see the rails that we just jumped.
