So, making good progress on my training ground piece for today, of course my circumstances dictate that I won't be able to submit it. I'll post it and my standing pony when I get back home.
Oh, I thought it was Gabe and Tycho's cat. The one who's a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. This is less funny.
Well the first page of results for that search are threads about people's real cats, so maybe it's not actually about her.

Alright, pencil stuff is done, just in time for bed. Need an early night for sight seeing tomorrow, and I can ballpoint the lines to permanency in off moments. Kinda wonder what the next theme is.

So have we finally crossed the Rubicon of admitting we actively work on My Little Pony fanworks?

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
I had a decent idea for this drawing challenge, but after I started it things kept coming up that prevented me from working on it, such that I had to compromise. In the end, I drew Fluttershy and Rarity, and Rarity is not one of my better ponies. Also, I've learned that I can't draw Trixie's hat worth beans. Live and learn.
On the subject of cutie marks, I had trouble figuring out what mine would be. I'm not particularly great in any one area. I'm decent at drawing, I got a degree in chemical engineering, I enjoy video games and playing bass guitar... all varied, and nothing that I'm spectacular at. I ended up giving myself a pencil drawing/forming an infinity symbol, to represent the duality of my artistic and mathematical sides. Which is to say I am good at being mediocre at everything.
Gotta wonder if any pony ever got a truly indecipherable cutie mark.
"The fuck does this malformed blotch on my flank mean? I'm gonna be the next Picasso or some shit?"
That just gave me an idea for a horribly sad comic:
[Young filly wakes up to find strange, blotch-shaped cutie mark]
Filly: I got my cutie mark! Yes yes yes! Except, what is it? [Filly goes downstairs to find mother, a doctor pony with a medical cutie mark]
Filly: Look mom, I got my cutie mark!
Mom: That's not a cutie mark, dear. That's cancer.
Filly: ;_;
Man, I'm apparently in a very down mood right now. I should probably just go to bed, maybe that will make things better. Perhaps I'll watch the beginning of a MLP episode, just to make me smile before I go to sleep.

I know nothing about horses, so can anyone tell me if cutie marks would be more a phenomenon of the skin or the fur?

"That man is playing Galaga! He thought we wouldn't notice. But we did."
Far be it from me to frown on people using a subject they are passionate about as a chance to to learn new skills and be creative.
I just wondered if it was safe to do so.
Well its not like people are quietly lurking in this thread, just waiting for someone to post something suitably embarrassing so they can laugh about amongst themselves or anything.

Ha! Yeah, it's not like people are getting viciously slandered. Lol, wouldn't that be crazy?

Oh that hat can go die in a fire.
And im in the same standstill with the whole cutie mark thing. Im good at multiple stuff, so how am I suppose to decide which one to be branded on my ass for the rest of my life?

I would think it would depend on the skin... white horses have pink skin, while normal skin color for a horse is black. My understanding is that some of the more rare horse colors have skin somewhere between black and pink.
The exception is grey horses, which have black skin and are a different color when born. At some point in their life (and it can happen when they are still young) their hair turns grey. The next time you see a "white" horse in a movie look at its nose. If it has a touch of pink it's a true white horse, if it's dark it's actually a grey horse.
TL;DR - With one notable exception, hair color is determined by skin color.
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -C.S. Lewis
I seriously didn't see Gaeda going that route. Even with the twists and turns of what he went through because of Starbuck and everyone else, I still couldn't have guessed that that happened.

Yeah, manly isn't generally a word used to describe me. It's even more odd to say it in a thread like this.
Also, I didnt even think about what my mark would be.

Perhaps no real horse has ever discovered its special talent.
To actually answer your question, I imagine it would have to be part of the hair to be visible.

Hey if it keeps me active in drawing why not. I spend way to much time gaming anyways.

The "ha ha ha ha" part. I died. In the good way.
