Rosemary's Filly (FiM Suspense Trailer) / 1000 Subway Sandwiches / 15 minutes of Luna Dancing

First off, we have a suspense trailer for FiM as a whole.

Then some completely ridiculous YTPMV stuff.

And finally some dancing Luna. I think bedroom eyes Nyanpinkiepie still wins the CAN'T STOP WATCHING award, but dancing Luna comes pretty close!

Story: The Girl of His Dreams

[Sad][Shipping] Y'know, I've had nightmares about mustaches. I can totally relate, Spike.

Author: BLAMEY0URFATE

Description: Night after night of bad dreams keeps Spike from getting some much-needed sleep. When Twilight's attempt to help fails, the young dragon unwittingly turns to his beloved Rarity. A night alone with his crush seems like a dream come true, but what chance does a baby dragon really have with the perfect unicorn?

Bronies For Good

Bronies For Good is a pony-based philanthropy dedicated to organizing Friendship is Magic fans across the country for various charity drives, and presenting a positive front for bronies to interact with the world at large. We've mentioned them once before in a Nightly Roundup, but they deserve a more prominent advertisement. Currently, the group is working with one Purple Tinker (you may have heard of her) to set up a food donation drive to take place during the next BroNYcon, and they're hoping to set up similar events with local groups across the country. This is an awesome and admirable goal, and definitely something worth checking out. Click around on the links below, and see for yourself if this is the sort of project you'd like to be a part of.

Drawfriend Stuff #144

Confound it Moe!  Why do you make me replace my desktop background daily?

Also check this out.  Apparently someone ordered a full sized physical version of the Rarity dragon painting.  I'm honestly considering dropping the 200 bucks for one of these.

Comics: Open Minded/Best Sock Ever

Look everypony, comic time! Today's offerings are all about love. So much love. More love than you can stuff inside an appendix. Above is a lovely little number by teygrim, explaining to us why TwiLuna is the only proper ship, and also proselytizing about the always perfect and never at all wrong process of shotgun weddings. Of a sort. You'll see. And then below, a treatise from Maquark on why the best socks are Dinky's socks socks made with love by your momma.Which is totally true, by the way. Yay, sockies!

Pony Train Toy Set + DVD's?

This Taobao website must have either a time machine, or a witch doctor, because they always seem to get the random toys listed before anyone else!

This is a MLP train set. I have no clue when or where it will be released, but it's listed here!

Thanks to Purple Tinker for the heads up!

Also the DVD set?

Ponies Look...Delicious

I'll take 20.

I'm pretty sure marshmallow hooves are canon at this point.

Nightly Roundup #54

I wonder if we will ever see Pinkie Pie's sisters in season two?

Did they ever escape the rock farm?

Anyway, have some news!

More Official Animator Sketches!

This is apparently pretty old judging by the date, but I never did post it.. so have some more official animator pony art! This guy is a storyboard artist for the show, and apparently drew these for the daughters of a friend of his. 

You can find his site here!

Official Animator Artwork

William Bradford, one of the animators for FiM, runs a small sketch blog.  It's a pretty basic entry, but still neat to read through it and check out the different animation stages. 

One of his quotes says it best:

"I don't think i've ever been on a flash show that allowed us to push the expressions and posing for maximum appeal: Most of the credit being owed to Lauren Faust's permission, All the former Ed Edd n Eddy storyboard artists, and the fantastic character and set builders."

This defenitely shows.  I think the facial expressions in this show are some of the greatest I have ever seen in animation, and the big draw for me personally.  Everything from the deadpan Twilight Sparkle expressions to Pinkie Pie's off the wall shapes that she pulls off...it's just so well done. 

You can find the blog here!
