Whilst looking for Filly walk cycles in the latest Cutie Mark Crusaders ep, I stumbled onto something pretty funny and you've probally never noticed it:
Notice how the lines thin out? That's because before this, Sweetie was laying on the ground and used four frames to get up, which was a transition into the pre-made mare walk cycle, just shrunk down in size.
Now, I haven't looked at other areas that might be using the mare cycle because I decided to make this post, but I thought it was funny.
I'm... probably blind... I don't really see what's going on in that pic.
RAAWRR.
I should have extended on what I said, the legs go from thick to thin because it went from 4 new drawn frames to a pre-made walk cycle and the thickness of the lines are inconsistent.

I'll point 2 inconsistencies out:
That is quite funny to say. However as many mistakes this show has, this is a lesser to say. There is more noticable and lul mistakes. Wait until the season ends, and this group on youtube will make a blooper video of ALL known errors in season 2. It is quite amusing. Such as season 1, applejack was freckless many many times. They did well to ensure she was not in season 2.
I don't like this thread anymore... It's just full of loads of creative people sharing all their great drawings, animations, music etc. I feel out of place. I am not good at anything... I havn't found my calling in life... I guess you could say I havn't yet earned my Cutie Mark XD
So you now see why few old people still post here or even come around, and why most the others left. Returning from the pasts graveyard, isnt so simple as it has been seen. The thread is dying, it is how it is.
Warning: Expect to jump out of your seat at a couple/few parts if your volume's too loud.
Got through it, it's crazy how many errors go past you without noticing them. Haha!
Plan on doing up my signature a little with the new walking cycle(s) I've got. Might put up one or two finished coloured ones. Who knows.
Coming back to this thread to post a [WARNING: lack of plausible adjective] fanfiction.

Can you guess the nature of it by seeing the title only, nothing else? I actually could. If not, have a cover image to do the job.
Imprisonment-related psychological issues indeed, also lots of [Sad]ness.
So, what can I say. It's both the best and the most Gainax thing ever wrote into existense. Alternatively, best hidden symbolism ever or horrible, horrible Tyrant Celestia OOC. I just can't understand a slightest bit of the buildup, however great the story is.

Where are these "loads fo creative people" of which you speak? Aside from the really nice work from Heywood, Nittles and Impwarior (as well as a few others that appear from time to time, those 3 are just the most active now) it seems like the majority of the creative, interesting people have left. I'll elaborate on this later in my post.
So you now see why few old people still post here or even come around, and why most the others left. Returning from the pasts graveyard, isnt so simple as it has been seen. The thread is dying, it is how it is.
The thread started dying towards the end of the second one. A lot of us, the creative people Mazejaker was referring to, got sick and tired of how the thread had decayed into nothing more than a chat thread, flooded with low-quality posts. Posting for posting's sake. off-topic chatter. Spamming about fanfics. All the artists, discussion topics and meaningful posts were ignored, buried under floods of spam posts about anything and everything.
A lot of the people with the false delusion that the first thread, with it's constant NSFW discussion and posts was so great, suddenly started appearing to complain that the second thread was boring, just to vanish. And many MORE people seemed like they just wanted to start arguments.
There is no discussion anymore, I remember when the new episodes would spark DAYS of discussion and art and topics. Now, all new-episode-related posts consist of "Where was Derpy?" and "Did you catch the (whatever) reference?". With the latest episode, the presence of another gryphon in Equestria? A chocolate moose, which might hint that cervids are in fact canon? Doughnut Joe's spy tech in Pinkie's story? Ninjas? Katanas? A couple months ago, the thread would be buzzing over all this stuff. But now, the discussion of the new episodes fizzles out in a matter of hours, and it's back to spamminess and chatter.
Now, let's see here... Who from the old thread barely posts here anymore, or has never come back at all? Myself, tired of the lack of anything engaging going on. Sarolveldruk, another guy who really enjoyed participating in debates and having actual discussions. King Coco, tired of having his art posts ignored (I know that feel), faloxx, who completely gave up hope that this thread was worth saving and isn't planning to come back ever.
I KNOW I missed a few people. I just know it.
So we all just left.
But unlike those people who just showed up to say "this thread sucks", I have provided some of the reasons why. And if anyone is interested in saving this thread, it would be a good idea to think about some of the points I have made here, and try to get this thread back on track. And I'm willing to help, otherwise I wouldn't have posted at all.
The season is coming to a close. Try to make the best of the last couple episodes, and pray that this thread survives the time until Season 3.
Warning: Expect to jump out of your seat at a couple/few parts if your volume's too loud.
I was about 4 minutes in when Youtube decided it didn't like me today. I will finish that later. Anyway, those are some of the shortcomings of digital animation, and the types of things that occur regularly in cartoons. Only difference is, there are people with no lives the time to devote to analyzing every single frame to spot these errors.
And so this isn't all doom, gloom and complaining, later this week I will have new art to share again.
That brief, shining moment of the thread's former greatness, when I introduced my OC Open Heart and people gave feedback on her backstory and actually took notice of some original art? Let's do that more often, for ALL the artists here. Make it worth their while to create and share art.
[Felt a little guilty snipping this top part, thanks for the nice complement(s)]

I would have +repped you, but I've reached some limit I've never seen before. I'll be come back around to it sometime. Done so.

That was a godly post. I was here for the first thread, and by the time we were about a quarter through the second one I left. I'm just now beginning to come back to see how things are. And yeah, they aren't too good. One page per day, maybe two if we're lucky?! God damnit, we used to have 20+ pages a day. This thread used to flow like a rapids river. You'd have to hurry if you were replying to someone else's post or else that post would end up on the next page.
Now, it's just a ghost-town.
But enough of this depressing crap. Have some adorable ponies, the 2 cutest pics that I have.

---Oh, yeah, and while I was waiting for the Curse servers to stop overloading and let me post this, I dug up an old pic I had. I think Larsus or Larsurus (can't quite remember) made it.

Don't feel bad about the snipping or the rep. I was just speaking from the heart there, I really want to see this thread saved.
EDIT:
Coloured and put a face on it. Plan to use it in a chain of animations in my signature, but I'll get around to it.
OK, animation idea. Your walk cycle, have Link stop and Navi keep moving, and their heads bump. That could be really cute. The way you draw them, they have this adorable, almost childlike quality to them, and something like what I described seems like it would fit your style.

I'm glad you liked the post. I felt kinda bad for ranting like that, but I felt like it needed to be said.
I'm really disappointed too, obviously. A lot of us are. A couple months ago, I was spending the majority of my free time on here, discussing things and having fun. Getting encouragement to get better at drawing the ponies, and in turn, helping out the up-and-coming artists on the thread. Discussing events and characters and really being a part of something.
The fact that two people took the time to read and reply to what I posted makes me feel like I'm not wasting my time. We still have a shot at saving this thread, making it interesting again, and hopefully getting people back in here.
While we're posting art we found, amid an ocean of bad recolors and typical Mary-Sue OCs that flood my DA inbox on a daily basis, I found something I really liked. This is a great humanization, and it makes these two seem legitimately likeable...

And they're not anime versions! That's a plus!
If I ever got to practicing drawing people more I had plans to drawing a more "westernized" version of Twilight or someone. As opposed to the rampant anime versions.
Hey guys, I already showed this to Larsurus, but I thought you guys might be interested in seeing it. It's a video including Larsurus' Pinkie Pie Jetpack vector, but they made it fly. Also, it's a preview for Ponies the Anthology 2, which is awesome. Check it out.

That's... actually pretty good. Is there similar artwork for the mane six?

It's the same as before, just without the " around the link.)

Yew, we do need a better term. This isn't a religion or a cult, or the Borg Collective. it's a fandom.
Me either.
