Look! I found out what’s wrong with it!



Also, all of it.

Siighh… Okay. OOC ranty time.

If you’ll check the entries you’ll see that there are quite a lot of other pieces that have had a lot of effort put into them from just a few of the incredibly talented artists from all over the community, and they have been justifiably voted up by members of the community who recognize and know the look and feel of professional-quality artwork. Yet the ultimate decision by Brockhoff seems to have been made a bit prematurely.

I understand that we should be loving and supportive as a community, and I want to make it clear that I mean absolutely no ill will towards Ms. Wicklund and her piece, but this by no accounts means we shouldn’t hold standards to that which is going to be representing us as a community and the quality and intent of this documentary.

The production team now has more than 320,000 of our collective dollars so that we can be represented fairly and professionally, and the first step that has been taken with it thus far has not been exactly promising. The first runner up image (the second image in the list by Nash S-W) or really any of the top 5 highest voted pieces would have been wonderful pieces to use, but Brockhoff’s justification for it is that “Art is subjective, you are entitled to your opinion but as the contest backers we can pick the one we like the most and this is it.” I wonder what the purpose of the voting system was.



If you don’t understand what all the fuss is about, show this to any graphic designer (brony or not) with a basic understanding of how to create a piece like this and watch the tears well up in their eyes.
