Poll Results: Who Would You Rather See in a Live Concert?

I guess poor Lyra didn't stand a chance against Octavia in the string instrument/orchestral department. 

Looks like we have a bunch of techno/rave enthusiasts running around.  

I wonder if we will see any expansion on Sweetie Belle's singing in season two?

Next poll: No clue!

Story: Michael Bay Presents: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Update Part 3!)

[Comedy][¿Satire?] "If Independence Day knocked up Armageddon and gave birth to the new Transformers franchise, and that abomination was a brony, this would be what the inside of its mind would look like." -Pre-reader that is an example of someone who ships Rainbow Dash with everything
"Not even exploding twice could stop me from enjoying this masterpiece."- Pre-reader #2

Author: Cold in Gardez

Description: On June 28, 2011, Michael Bay released Transformers: Dark of the Moon, his third feature film based on the HASBRO toy line Transformers. The next day, Bay and HASBRO entered into talks over another of the toy company’s properties, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The only concrete evidence of the new film to emerge so far is a tattered screenplay, presented here, which was found in a dumpster outside Bay’s production house, Platinum Dunes

*RUMORS*: FiM DVD Releasing in October?

I don't have Octavia here to bite you if you complain this time around, but I trust we can all stay civil.

Anyway, this one was sent from someone who works at a bakery in New Jersey.  Apparently they receive a calendar that mentions important dates/movie releases so they can plan ahead for specific trends.  This is the October page. 

There really is no telling if the information is completely accurate, since things to tend to change.  This calendar has also been around for a while now (Released around the beginning of the year!)

Thanks to K-Pony for the heads up/picture!

Comic: North Star Dwells (Update Parts 6)

The first part of this is something we've already showcased here, but when a comic with this much life and polish updates with a new piece, it deserves its own dedicated post. I think you'll agree we made the right call here. Enjoy the continuing adventures of North Star and her quest to find the party pony who not only bumped her flank, but her heart as well. So much d'aww. I could stare at this forever...

Video Drawing Tutorials

This picture is awesome. I'm going to stare at it for a few minutes, and then I'll get back to you, ok?

All right, wonderful. We're back with this breaking news. Thanks to a tip from a mysterious pony known only as CK, we've recently unearthed some video tutorials on Youtube of how to draw many of your favorite FiM characters. Digitally, at least. It's not going to make you a master of illustrator programs, but getting to see each detail as its sketched out is a valuable learning experience. There's rather a lot of these so I'm not going to bother with embeds, but check out the collection after this convenient page break. Today's page break sponsored by Brony Cola. Brony Cola: is it ok to love a cola this much? (Non-Sponsors, you don't know what you're missing out on! =D)

Comics: Batcolt/Animation is Magic

So, comic time. This batch is a bit... eclectic. To start us off, Blimpslap is here to show us a little bit about what it means to be a hero in Equestria. You might think it's all Elements of Hamony and necklaces you only wear once a season (watch it happen, ponies!), but you would be wrong. There's much, much more, a sort of deep search for inner meaning that's sure to take your breath away.

And once you're finished with that, have this lovely offering that I have been lead to believe comes to us from a Friendship is Magic animator, but I have zero sources on this so please don't take my word is law. Regardless of where this thing comes from, I have to imagine it's absolutely the truth of what goes on at Studio B. Someday I'm going to sneak in there and find out!

The source was actually not Studio B! You can find it under the image.

[Shipping] [Grimdark] m/m

Author: Jimbo

Worst of all, he's started having memories of things that never happened. How will he survive?
