Description
More comics. Yey, as Fluttershy would say.Edit: Okay to all the people who commented but didn't get a response from me. Sorry but there are just too many comments. I don't have the time to reply to all of these. So I'll just say thank you ever so much for whatever you might have said.

I definitely loved the colors and art style you've used. The "plot" was also something I found very funny. I can definitely see Discord pranking people this way. I especially loved the way you've drawn Sombra in panel 2 as it feels as though he has the most clean and detailed lines in the entire comic.
The only critiques I have would be the last panel:
1. Fluttershy and her cottage are blurred which is expected for things out of focus but given Sombra is roughly the same distance, his lines are more crisp indicating he's the focus of the panel. Discord on the other hand being in the foreground is who I assumed would be the focus but his lines don't feel as crisp for some reason. Maybe it's just me though. Also, personal preference but I would have expected a much larger guffaw expression from Discord
Overall though, I love the comic e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Wow. You're asking for a critique for a My Little Pony comic? Do you have any idea how stupid you are asking for it?
The art fails to reach the standard of most every other MLP comic that somehow makes it to the DeviantArt front page out of the low standards of the moderation team. The joke is uninspired, lacks any uniqueness, and is heavily dated. The series has been in indefinite hiatus for over a year now.
The next time you decide to make another one of these short comics, I implore you: DO NOT ASK FOR CRITICISM. All it does is make you look like a pathetic child looking for ways to boost your self-esteem by artificially adding Youtube star ratings for every one in 10 stupid bronies.
And before you ask, bronies: I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN SUBCULTURE. CALLING ME A HATER IS A SHALLOW AND COMPLETELY INCORRECT EXCUSE FOR MY NEGATIVE OPINION. GROW A DAMN SPINAL COLUMN.

Look, I get that you are entitled to your opinion and everything, but critiques are supposed to help an artist with their work, not just critisize them for liking MLP.
And before you even say anything, yes, I draw MLP, but this comment is not influenced at all by that factor. I see Sonic comics all the time, and just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I can go bitching on it like you just did.
And the way you told to go kill him/herself becuase of their comment (and most likely for making the comic) was pretty low. I've seen about 5 of my friends who have reported you for that. Just saying, it is bullying.
And it is not stupid to ask for a critique on an MLP comic. It is just like any artwork; while it uses characters made by another person, it shows unique qualities that only the artist could've thought of.
If you don't think MLP comics are "critique worthy" don't FUCKING write a critique on them!
Im sorry, I don't want to be rude or mean or anything, but seriously, don't just go and bully the artist like that. Idk what you were trying to accomplish by writing that critique besides making people yell at you, but nothing much happened besides that. Just PLEASE, next time you write a critique, actually make it a critique instead of a lecture on MLP.

By writing a comic? It's not like they said, "HEY, COME SHIT ON MY COMIC". Please, they asked for NOTHING other than a good critique.

So, naturally, they would want a critique, not whatever you wrote.

This IS a critique.

Copied and pasted DIRECTLY from the dictionary website. Now tell me, is your "critique", by definition, actually a critique?

No you didn't, I asked you if your critique went by the definition.

Does that even matter? Words are words.
π: 0 β©: 1
But it's the difference between pointless words and meaningful words
π: 0 β©: 1
What difference? As far as I can tell, we're equally prepared to call each other's words pointless. Except I don't just want to waver around the subject expecting the other to apologize for daring to take a negative tone to such an uncreative drawing in the MLP fandom.
π: 0 β©: 1
Your first statement is true. And second of all, I don't expect you to apologize. It would be nice if you did, but then again, I can't force you to do so. The point I'm trying to make is that you weren't really trying to be too nice about your opinion. I'm just saying, instead of yelling and telling them that it isn't good, maybe just tell them what they could improve on. Yeah, if you don't think it's original, I would be completely fine with it, but people start to take offense when you just scream in their faces and not tell them why (yes, I know you weren't yelling, I'm just exaggerating). But telling them to kill themselves (like you did in the comments) is really unacceptable no matter WHAT the circumstances. It's technically illegal and can, by law, get you sued. It's why people commit suicide so much, because when people like you are losing an argument and just decide to take it to the extreme for no reason other than to win the argument. And some people take it seriously. Im not even half mad about the critique itself (well, that's part of it). It's mostly the fact that you took it so far as to telling this person to kill themselves because of either the comic or the argument between you two. You should really think before you comment.

I didn't want to be nice, so I didn't try to be nice. Being upset is not some kind of unheard-of attribute, you know.

Well, yeah, but being upset doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. Others have feelings, too

Typically, a critique is a reflection on the quality of the art, rather than the subject matter, the medium, or the artist. It provides an in-depth analysis of form, line, color, shape, texture, space, and value, and how these elements are used to create an interesting composition. If you want to get really fancy, there's also room for critiques that focus more on the vision of a piece; what the artist intended to create, and whether or not they have created that. There's nothing particularly wrong with comparing art to other art, but I think it reflects more on the critic than anything else. You might also consider that, although some people may be looking for attention, one of the benefits of creating art is being recognized for your efforts, as it should be. Those who ask for a critique could be seen as taking a risk, or at least acknowledging that they have room to improve, and hoping someone will have something insightful to say about the art.Β
Needless bashing of the artist, or anyone for that matter, is in bad taste.
Consider this a critique of a critique. My evaluation: needs improvement.

What do you want?

Just to spread a little courtesy and intelligence. Sorry if I was a little snarky, just thought I'd share an alternate point of view.
Have a nice day!

No, seriously, what do you want? Your entire response was just one big tl;dr of "Sticks and Stones". What do you think that accomplishes other than making you look insulted at every level for not praising a below-expected-quality MLP comic?
π: 0 β©: 1
Look, it doesn't matter if you like the comic or not. If you hate it, that's fine, I encourage you to share your opinion with the world. But the point of a critique is to be specific and constructive, so that the reader of such a critique can more easily understand ways the piece is or isn't working.Β
Insulting the artist is also kind of rude, which all just adds up to people thinking you're just giving a bad review for the sake of being contrarian or mean-spirited. I'm not accusing you of doing that, but that's kind of the sense you give off by not giving details about the elements of the art and complaining about the artist and the fan base--especially considering it's fan art.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm complaining because I can-and should-expect better artwork, knowledge, and creativity from someone who 1: Adds a critique button to their content, and 2: Gets frequently featured by moderators. Having someone get a free pass for their reputation and/or fandom is ridiculous, and having people like you wag their finger at me to play nice is annoying.
π: 0 β©: 1
So be specific and articulate about what it is you don't like. Because the way you were phrasing it in your critique, it didn't sound like you really knew what you didn't like, just that you didn't like it. By all means, write a negative review, but don't just say, "this is trash," and such without an explanation for what's wrong with it. That doesn't tell anyone anything, and it will consistently cause people do discredit your critiques.Β
I'm not trying to get you to play nice, I'm trying to get you to be smart. That helps everyone: you'll be taken more seriously, the artist won't feel personally attacked, and those who praise artwork without much thought will be given pause.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Except I did write an explanation. You're just acting like my review was just "LOL MLP SUCKS GO DIE TROLOLO" in 100 extra words.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, you said that it wasn't as good as similar pieces, but you didn't really specify what about it was bad. One-star isn't really the score you give a "fine, but I've seen better," thing. I'm not saying that you're critique wasn't fair, it just was too vague to be helpful, which upsets some people and probably accounts for the backlash you've received.Β
It's just a suggestion, so feel free to ignore me. This was all I really wanted to say, so, bye now.

My oh my, someone seems a little bit butthurt. My suggestion is taking a nice cup of tea. Maybe listening to some relaxing music. That should do the trick.
Have a good one!

My suggestion to you is don't ask for critique on a pony comic.

You can have whatever oppinion you want. But not asking for critique isn't very smart. Critique is what helps an artist grow.

This is HILARIOUS. I will never get over it. Oh my god. So, I guess you scored well in the impact category. Five for funny as all hell. The art's very well done; I love how you drew Sombra and Flutters is adorable throughout the whole thing. Originality? I have never seen this joke before. Perfect.
Though, I have to point out that something about Discord seems off. A bit wonky, so to speak. I'm not sure what, but yeah.
Overall, this is a well done comic strip with a great joke, and I don't see much wrong with it. Kudos.
π: 0 β©: 2
I agree with your critique. There are three things that might explain the wonkiness of Discord;
1. his eyebrows are rather small in proportion to his usual design.
2. more likely it is theΒ complete lack of his mane
3. I'm not sure, but the horns placement might be a bit off in the perspectiveΒ

This is so awesome I laught all the time to this. You are a great person to do this but Sombra was killed or did he come back to life. After all he is my fav villan and I watch the same episode over and over again and Discord is my secon fav i watch the same episode over and over as well. If I was so arty and awsome drawer like you I would do alot more art since im not good it makes me fell sad and happy. But still is awsome and cool bye.
yours forever

Well . . . I believe that after Flutters initially freaked, she would try to help Sombra the best she could. I mean SERIOUSLY, he went to be rehabilitated. He wants to be a good guy again.

No, sorry. But it's been quite some time since I made pony stuff. And I'm not planning on making more.Β
