Pinkie Pie has passed my max of $2400. Bye Bye Pinkie Pie.

Weird that it says the sketches were created specifically for the charity auction, yet Pinkie Pie is a pegasus pony like in her concept art.

well the sketches in auction are signed with a date of '08 (except for derpy which says '11). so if they really were drawn in 08 then it would be normal to have a winged pinkie.

They were not created for the auction, they are originals from when Lauren Faust was pitching the show to exec's. Check Faust's DA.

I had the stupids. I was looking at the description of Derpy, saw the similarities, and thought they were all the same.

Liking it so far, though I think my expectations were built up a bit; I was expecting to be completely enamored with the show...that being said, I have gone through 7 episodes and counting over the past 24 hours.

The fan base is certainly great. I find myself chuckling at many of the pony images and I could probably spend hours going through all the fan created material.

To contribute to the thread, here are two amusing pictures. I apologize for the lack of ponies.

P.S.
Some great background images here. I finally replaced the default ubuntu and windows pictures with the following image. I especially love the style of this image (as well as the one of Rarity), although I think Rainbow Dash works a bit better because of the colors. Still, both are great.




Had me laughing. :thumbsup:

I hate this dumb trend so much.

Why do sheep never stray from the dumbest Shepard?

I agree. Everypony should only like what nobody else likes. :rolleyes:

And excuse us if we don't grant much authority to the perception of a person who thinks that "shepherd," is spelled, "shepard."

so what makes you want the pinkie pie over the other sketches?

If I answered that, you wouldn't believe me. ():)

Generally, I think of rules as something closer to suggestions :). Having said that though, I don't know which rule your talking of.

Ah. Yes, I agree with that rule in general, but that rule goes out the window when for charity.

Wow didn't know very many people in this thread were serious about this. You seriously were willing to spend $4,000 on a My Little Pony sketch? I don't have anything against watching cartoons as an adult, even ones aimed at kids, I just don't get this particular one. I could see someone paying that much for a spongebob square pants sketch though. That's an awesome show to me no mater what others say.

Ponies are serious business.
