    I have just found that you can also see her wallpaper in Dragonshy, when she bursts out during the Charlie's Angels sequence. This show has awesome continuity.

    Clearly there is history between Twilight and Pony Joe. He's got it written all over his reaction to seeing her in his shop.

    I wanna imagine there's a loose Greco-Roman theme with Rainbow Dash, even her mane is a feminine version of a caesar, the gala dress just clinches it. Also with that and the Rainbow Dash mob family theory we can have the image of her father pitting those who owe him money in a gladiatorial deathmatch with him giving some hoof equivalent of a thumbs up or thumbs down.

    Well... considering how the first episode was all about how Twilight Sparkle had absolutely no social life and was not interested in getting one, she probably didn't bother going to the Gala.

    Her main reason for going to the Gala this time was so she could spend some time with her mentor. Back when she was living in Canterlot she probably saw Celestia all the time, so she would have no motivation to go to the Gala.

    OH NOES!!!
    The Season 1 finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has finally aired.
    I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the absolutely amazing, incredible, astounding crew of MLP:FiM for all their hard work and dedication. I’m so grateful to have such a talented group of artists give their all for what could have easily been seen from day one as silly, girly fluff unworthy of their time. Together I think we helped prove that “for girls” does not have to automatically equal “lame.”

    And a gigantic thank you to the fans of the show!!! The kids, the parents and all you bronies!! The array of people this show has touched has completely exceeded my wildest expectations! I cannot believe the response, and, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I cannot keep up with the messages!!! Thank you all for your words of praise, thanks, curiosity, and even your thoughtful criticisms. From the messages I’ve received, these episodes have lifted spirits, brought parents and kids together, changed perspectives and inspired the most unlikely of people in the most unlikely of places. Who would have thought it from a show about candy colored ponies? I want you all to know how grateful I am for you feedback and for sharing your thoughts and stories. I only wish I had the time to reply to everyone and the ability to answer each and every question.

    *****

    And now I suppose it’s finally time for me to deliver some unfortunate news. I’ve been uncertain for a little while now about how, when and, to be honest, whether to announce the news at all. But here it is: I am no longer working on the show. Various circumstances with the production made it increasingly impossible for me to keep up the level of personal creative involvement and control that I had at the start of the series. I don’t think I can accurately express how difficult and painful the decision was and still is. When Season 2 begins, you will see my credit changed from Executive Producer to Consulting Producer. My involvement in Season 2 ultimately does not reach far beyond story conception and scripts. A little more involved in the beginning, and a little less towards the end.

    However, you should be pleased to know that the gaps I have left are being filled by the same amazing artists, writers and directors who brought you Season 1. I’m certain the show will be as entertaining as ever, though perhaps in a slightly different way.

    With that said, I hope you will still be interested in sticking around my DA page. I started this page as a forum to share my personal work and I hope that those of you who come here lured by ponies will be tempted to hang out for whatever else I have to share in the future---- as soon as I figure out what that will be!!

    With sincerest gratitude,
    Lauren

    D:D:D:

    I kind of hope that the pushes forward with the Galaxy Girls thing.

    1) GG belongs to her.
    2) If she can publish it web-wise, there will be *MUCH* more freedom with what she can do with it.

    Double post with some better news
    Well that's it. Season 1 of MLP: Friendship is Magic is finally over. I have to say its been a blast. It has to be one the best cartoons I had the pleasure of working on. And its even more great that many people enjoyed it. It makes the whole effort, worth it!

    With Season 1 having such a great impact, I 'm sure people will be expecting ALOT more for season 2. I hope Season 2 will live up to everyone's expectations. I've already seen 7 episodes of Season 2 and I have to say its looking pretty good. I know its been confirmed by Lauren Faust and all but yes, Luna will be back especially Derpy (Who has now became an official Character here. I wouldn't be surprised if she has her own character sheet/model with preset expressions). I've already seen the episode when Luna comes back and its pretty cool. Season 2 will introduce new characters and bring back some old familiar ones. I wish I could say more but I don't want to spoil too much.

    I must say, one of the great benefits of being an animator to My Little Pony is that you get to see the entire season 2 before it even gets aired. Sure its just the still drawings of the animatic but who cares. I watch it for the plot ;)

    Anyways about the My little Pony game I'm making. I have already done Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash's model and am now giving them expressions and different outfits. I might post a few previews in my DA sooner or later. The new cartoon I'm working is really taking up my time to draw and do the game. Hopefully I'll be able to get some of it done and post at least the character models.

    Well that's all folks. I'm glad you enjoyed My Little Pony Friendship is Magic as much as I enjoyed animating it.

    Here's hoping DJ Pon3, Lyra and Bon-Bon get promoted.

    This should put some minds at ease.

    It's a post made by an employee for the show on the Allspark forum, in regards to Lauren Faust's departure:
    I've known about this for a while now, was wondering when the news would finally break. Now before people go all gloom and doom, I'd like to point out that she is still doing a lot of what she did in season 1. She's still heavily involved in the pre-production of season 2 (story and scripts), she'll just be less involved in the post-production. This really won't have any impact on the production.

    To clarify what Kreoss was talking about in his blog, no 7 episodes are not complete, he's talking about watching animatics, essentially storyboards with the recorded dialogue from the voice actors. Layout starts later this month, and animation starts next month, so it'll be a while yet before the season 2 episodes are ready. I've actually seen more of the animatics than he has at this point, and season 2 is shaping up to be AMAZING.

    I'm hoping she stays mostly a background pony. Maybe have the occasional little cameo like in Feeling Pinkie Keen, but not an actual character character.

    I also continue to hold out hope for more Zecora.

    Some other comments at Equestria Daily from a person who (allegedly) knows Lauren:
    Basically from what Lauren told me, the schedule was the biggest problem. We animators work under shorter and shorter schedules, and the demands placed on us intensify with every new episode. Directors work 7 days a week sometimes, under a lot of stress. And with budgets shrinking and writers changing their minds at the last minute it's amazing we can produce ANYTHING of quality.

    And yet, we got season one of MLP :} Don't worry. Everything will be fine.]


    He went on to say:

    No. I work on Family Guy. Lauren is an old friend from CalArts, the animation school we both attended back in the mid-90's. She told me about her leaving the show many many months ago.

    And the last thing she wants is for ANY ponyfan to worry. She kept her departure a secret for months in order to keep you guys excited about the show. And it worked :} Up until tonight no one suspected a thing. So relax everypony.

    Me personally, I can't wait to see what Lauren does next. This talented woman has made the rest of us Calartians proud. And who knows. Maybe her next project will be even BETTER than poni!

    Just keep an eye on her DA page y'all. I know she's cookin up something.]


    If that's true, she hasn't been directly involved for a while.

    This is probably my favourite humanization of Rainbow Dash yet. The only thing it's missing is a tattoo peeking out from under her collar.

    For some reason Rainbow Dash makes me think of Lisbeth Salander from the Millennium books.
