A short animation inspired by a specific character from MLP G5’s Tell Your Tale. A character known for having an unusually high number of alicorn animation errors, known by fans as either Bucket or Shiny Sparks.

Custom soundtrack was created by ‪@musescript4215‬ and can be found here: The Other Alicorn OST

I’ve recently been getting back into creating animation and, since I’ve been making art of this character for a while, I thought I’d actually try animating something of them for the channel.

The concept originally began as an artwork idea for an NATG Alumni prompt, though it was never really used. Eventually I got the idea to fully animate it, starting as soon as possible so my ADHD-addled brain didn’t have enough time to lose interest. Hoping to create more of these in the future, but we’ll see what happens.

Admittedly, I’m somewhat new to animating pony walk-cycles, so that’s probably going to end up the weakest aspect of this. Regardless, I hope the results are at least interesting.

Really have to thank Musescript for creating the soundtrack as well as my friends for their feedback and support ^^
