Poll Results: How Open Would You Be To Pony Sunset Shimmer Joining the Mane Cast in Season 5?

Sunset Shimmer DOMINATION.  I for one welcome our new yellow and red sunny overlord for the mane cast. She really left a good impression after that last movie didn't she? It almost seemed like she became the Twilight of Canterlot High even.

New poll time! Something pony fringe:

Do You Watch Cartoons or Anime Outside of Pony?

Is Friendship is Magic the only cartoon you watch? Or do you watch a bunch of other things to go with it?

Hit it up on the side bar. 

Bobs Burgers Brony Episode Takes 3rd in TIME "Top TV Episodes" of 2014

Apparently the editors over at TIME have a soft spot for the pony episode in Bobs Burgers that happened earlier in the year. In their "Top TV Episodes of 2014" list, it takes the 3rd slot right next to Madmen and True Detective.

Where is my Twilight's Kingdom though?! Surely that was better than the parody pony!

Thanks to Haroutk1 and Ryan for the heads up.

Artist Spotlight: TheDiscorded / KitsuneHino / Wisdom-Thumbs

Welcome again to another edition of the Artist Spotlight! Today's spotlight is a little special as it is made up completely of artists from deep in the backlog and have stuck with pony since! As such they have vastly improved since their initial emails and I'm proud to be able to showcase them today!

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!
