Equestria Inquirer #54

Inquirers! Ponies!  Angry Twilight Sparkles! Check out this edition here, the video after the break, and the synopsis below.

"Equestria Inquirer welcomes TechRat, Evil Techrat, Reluctantly Evil Techrat, and Just Here for the Cake Techrat as hosts for this weeks' Equestria Inquirer! Join us as he mocks Joe's attempts to have a panel at Midwestria, mocks his own mustache, and laughs maniacally as he tortures Lttmoose. We also have Fluttershy reviewing something savory and a new freelancer for you to enjoy."

Traveling Pony Museum Post-Con Update

The traveling pony museum team has a bit of an update for you all after their Bronycon -> EFNW -> Trotcon run.   Included in the update is a bit of an update on their CG absense, as well as future plans.  Head on down past the break to check it out!

Bootleg Ponies Spotted

Something is...off here.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  I think it has something to do with the shape of the head, but I can't be sure!

These were found in Turku, Finland. Apparently a store sold out of their legitimate pony stock and replaced it all with these.  I feel bad for all the kids who will be receiving one for the upcoming holidays with parents grabbing the nearest pony while out shopping for presents!

Thanks to Imperial Print for the image!

Music: The Wonderbolts / Psychedelic Brony: One Trick Pony / Villains

We have a mixture of music this time around. First off is a Wild Wild Wild west style rap song dedicated to the Wonderbolts, followed by a psychadelic version of One Trick Pony, and finish with some instrumental DUBSTEP. Check them all out below!

1.) The Wonderbolts by IAmSwagg
2.) Psychedelic Brony: One Trick Pony

Press releases after the break! 

Animation: Dusk's Dawn Trailer and Release Information

The team behind the animation project Dusk's Dawn, featuring an entire cast of OC ponies, has released a bit of information on what exactly they have planned for the coming weeks. From the sounds of it, we can expect a full 20 minute first episode on the 13th of October over on BronyTv.

Right now they have a short release trailer for you all to devour, along with a synopsis and some art showing off the cast of characters involved.   We can of course fight over which is best when it actually releases!  I'm leaning toward the happy one with a leaf on her butt.

This project has been a bit low key so far, so I'm really curious about what they have come up with!  None of these Oc's look obnoxious either, which is a good sign in a fandom filled with black alicorns!

Head on down past the break for the full press release, along with the trailer and synopsis for episode one. 

CG Fighting is Magic Build - With Rainbow Dash!

Fighting is Magic is currently being streamed from CG, along with a bit of Rainbow Dash.   So far she looks to be a pretty badass character! Head on over to 8wayrun to check it out!  

(bumped up a bit cause Rainbow Dash!)

Ponies in the News

Suddenly everyone and their sister news site has a brony article up!  We are a pretty hot topic for these guys now days.  Who would have thought an army of adults liking My Little Pony would be so popular?

First off, the music ranking website Billboard.com has dropped a "top 10 Gangnam style parodies", and as is the norm for these lists, pony is right there front and center.   Is it just me, or does this website have ridiculously large text?   Ouch.

And if the image above didn't give it away already, a Swedish newspaper covered their front page in ponies, with a pretty huge article on us buried within.  Head on down past the break for the translation courtesy of Greer, or hit it up on Google Docs. 

And finally, WTVY did a short article on pony conventions.  When I say short, I mean EQD short.  Check it out here!  Thanks to Dan for sending that one in. 

Drawfriend Stuff #579

I actually just recently started watching Doctor Who.  Now I kind of get why you all obsess over it.  I miss David Tennant though.

Have some art!

And of course, grab a forum account.

Another Exclusive Comic Cover from Third Eye Comics

Much like the Derpy and collage covers, yet another exclusive comic cover has popped up for you all to snag.  Third Eye Comics will be claiming this one.   If you want it, you will have to get it from them!

It sounds like pre-orders for these are going nuts! I can't wait to see how well they do when they officially release in November.
