"To me, this story stood out in exploring the basic pony attitude of 'befriend all the things.' And it's pretty darn funny, too." --AugieDog

Tony Fleecs recently teased a mysterious rough EqG sketch he was working on which made people wonder if some sort of EqG comic was in the works. Well, according to Bobby Curnow of IDW over on the IDW forums there is indeed a comic in production, a 48-page holiday special in fact!
I wonder what we can expect? Knowing the quality of the comics I bet we can expect something neat. Check after the break for the sketch that Tony released on Twitter if you want a little sneak peek.
Thanks to Illustrious Q and Nick for sending it in!

It's that time of the week again my pony friends, time for another Artist Spotlight! Hopefully today's edition helps you discover some great work you weren't aware of before.
As usual, these posts are in similar style to the Tumblr Spotlights, a group of 3-5 artists will be spotlit each entry along with a small short description along with a small selection of their artwork! In order to make this feature work though we need people to suggest artists to us so make sure to send artists you think need some exposure to calpain@equestriadaily.com. Please also include a short biography I can work with as well as what medium you work in most.
What sort of artists count? Suggestions should follow these criteria:
- No clop or extensive gore galleries as those typically violate our content guidelines. If the artist has a safe for work gallery separate from their not safe for work stuff they or their fans can submit the safe for work gallery. If there is a mix of SFW/NSFW on a gallery the decision whether or not to include them will be judged on a gallery to gallery basis.
- Don't be afraid to spotlight yourself as well as others!
- Artists of all types accepted -vector, OC, traditional, digital. As long as it is pony and of quality it has a chance of being spotlit.
Now on to the artists!

In my time digging through customizations of MLP toys turned into all manner of things some of the best I admit come from the old guard in the fandom, the fans who've been customizing since pony started decades ago and still manage to make it into the papers today. One such artist is Mari Kasurinen from Finland who has recently made a collection of customized ponies resembling famous icons and celebrities. Now even if you don't like the looks of the old style ponies, you've got to admit a lot of work went into making these figures and that deserves some applause.
To learn about the inspiration behind the project and to see pictures of the other ponies follow the HuffPost link below. Also, a lot of the figures deal with icons of the LGBT movement so please be nice, we're here to admire some cool designs and not turn this into a huge debate.
Thanks to Noreply for sending it in.
