I like keeping it close to the show's style by not making them anthro and keeping the coloring style similar, but I like to inject a little of my own style into it. Otherwise, I might as well be using MLP bases. The way I do it is to make them "cuter" by giving them bigger eyes, bigger ears, and smaller snouts and mouths.

And what, is that supposed to get me to start drawing genitalia or something? If you don't like the way it looks, then that's your problem. You are arguing a stylistic choice, which is why I don't care for them. Also, I don't remember shoving my art in your face. If you don't like the style, then don't look at it.

Who the hell cares? I'm not going to go back and fix it just to ease your neurosis. If it doesn't bother me, then I'm not going to fix it.

When someone tells me something that is objectively wrong ("you forgot to color in one of their legs", "her cutie marks is backwards", "eye color is wrong", "text is hard to read", etc.), then I change it or acknowledge the mistake. What YOU and some other people are doing is criticizing based on personal preference. You want genitalia or you want me to draw them a certain way. No. YOU do that.

And, like I said, you've been a dickhead to me way before this (on TPC). The difference was that I didn't know you were the one who commissioned the gay pony drawings from me until you posted your butthurt on my dA.

I take criticism fine. You aren't criticizing me. You are expressing your butthurt at me. You're not the only one. I always get people who "criticize" me for not drawing genitalia on my ponies, or drawing them in bondage or in sexually explicit manners. This isn't criticism. It's butthurt. And the few criticisms that might be criticisms are nitpicky things that does show that you're, in fact, butthurt.

You're the only one who thinks my ponies borders on the "uncanny valley". Most people say that I draw it in a cute way. If you have a problem with it, then don't look at it. Again, because YOU don't like my art, YOU feel that I need to change it. How is that not suggesting that I change my style?

The butthurt with this one is strong. It doesn't my style original, but it makes my style stand out from pony bases.

Yeah, it's good enough. As in, "who gives a shit?" Was that denying it? No. It just means that I don't give enough of a shit to change it.

Because I don't like you. And the fact that you are visibly angry about it only gives me more lulz. What does me posting one of your private commissions say about me? It says don't mess with me if you know I have leverage.

Make it my mind? I like to keep it close to the show's style. That does not mean that I make it exactly like the show's style.

You mean good reasons with respect to your taste? Stop arguing with the notion that your personal tastes are objective.

You're just saying that now to mask your butthurtness.

Yeah, well, what are you going to do about it? Write more butthurt comments?

You seem mad.

Hey, I'm not the one arguing with the idea that my personal tastes are objective truths. If you don't like it, then you don't like it. But here you are--looking at every picture I post. Don't worry, I got like 3 other people doing that, too.
