Nightly Roundup #1176
by Calpain
Before she was able to raise the sun with her magic, Celestia had to get up early each day to lasso the sun and pull it across the sky! What an exhausting job that would be, eh?
News time my friends! Get it all after the break.

For everyone following the Drawponies story, we now have a response from the man himself. In his newly published journal entry, he goes into detail on the act of tracing things, and in some cases listing these long side his original art at conventions for sale. He also talks about his moderation team for those worrying about the comment deletions.
For the future, he plans on no longer tracing anything, and simply relying on his personal skills. Anything at all that was traced will no longer be used. The tracing was simply a way to make things go faster apparently, which is probably why we don't see a whole lot of 1-1 comparisons.
For the full apology, head on over to his page here.

Nightly Discussion #326
by Calpain
Spike and his little Rarity plush were quite adorable in episode 3. Heh, who wants to bet if he did squeeze it that it would say something?
Evening everyone! Hope your Monday has been sunnier than it has been here; so much rain.

Spotlight Music: The Pickup (Toastwaffle's Remix) / Fluttershy model music (BGM Extended)
by Sethisto
Time for the classics! We are going wayy back to the early seasons in this post. I bet a lot of you don't even know who h8_seed is. That guy was a badass back in the early pony music days.
Get a remix of one of his tracks in the first slot, followed by an extension on the Fluttershy Model song from season one in the second. Such nostalgia ;_;7.
Now go music!
1.) The Pickup (Toastwaffle's Remix) (Remix - Electrofunk)

Massive Season 5 Premiere Balloon Art!
by Calpain
Now I thought this guy's balloon Party Favor was amazing, but this really takes the cake! That's a lot of detail to recreate with balloons and I think Party Favor would even be impressed.
Check out the link below for the artist's gallery to check out more pics of this masterpiece! He'll also be attending the Grand Brony Gala if you want to see his art in person.

Poll Results: Which Background Pony Do You Want to hear with Major Speaking Lines The Most?
by Sethisto
It turns out, a lot of you really want to see these two speak this season. Only Derpy and Lyra competed with them.
We actually had around 3% hit "other" this time, so feel free to drop your "other" in the comments! There are hundreds of Background ponies, so I couldn't get them all.
Next poll:
Which Cutie Mark From the Last Episode Do You Want Apple Bloom to Adopt?
I'm leaning toward alchemist myself. That actually sounded pretty badass. Based on all her run ins with Zecora and Twilight, it wouldn't be surprising to see her end up going that route. It would be way more interesting than an apple at least. Please not an apple. Anything but that.
Now go vote!
And get the results of this one below the break.

Hasbro has released their quarterly report for the first part of 2015, and things are looking good on the pony side. While you can dig into all sorts of specific numbers over here, we are going to focus on the pony!
Combined with Transformers, Hasbro saw a massive 74% increase in the Entertainment and Licensing segment, going from 34.9 million in 2014, to 60.6 million compared to Quarter one of last year. A good amount of this is due to streaming deals for the shows. As we move more and more toward the cloud based technological future, I wouldn't be surprised if this kept on expanding.
Thanks to Twilight Sparkle, Toxic Mario, and everyone else for sending it!

Considering how Apple Bloom took care of those Twittermites I really was half expecting this to happen in the episode.

Today we celebrate the deadly wars of old for the peaceful nation of Equestria today! Glorious be the ponies of the dark ages. Without their sacrifice, Twilight Sparkle might be learning the values of disintegration magic instead of friendship!
Now go get some art. Or bats.

This issue has really blown up over the past 24 hours or so! For those of you just hearing about this, Drawponies' fans recently began supplying evidence that at least some of his pieces are created using traced assets from the show.
Since the initial few images appeared, loads of evidence has been arriving in the submit box and around the internet showing his art matching up perfectly with show assets. To go along with this, screencaps of his live streams reveal him physically tracing things that are later sold.
More on that and our stance on the situation below the break!

With the con only a few months away, the Equestria Daily team is doing a lot of scheduling to get eight people on the team over to Germany this summer. Over in Germany the GalaCon team is also hard at work to prepare for the event. Currently GalaCon is looking for contributors to the con's art gallery.

Early Morning Discussion #174
by Calpain
If Spike grows some wings he could probably make a small fortune offering rides to unicorns and earth ponies! Who wouldn't want to fly high in the sky?
Morning everyone! Up bright and early for a new Monday?
