It’s just a style difference. I think both are cute. Adventure Ponies was supposed to have an Atari arcade style to it, so I think the left sprite fits more for it. Both I claim are done by “actual artists” who knew what they were doing when they both drew them and can be used for different purposes.

Imagine making spritework for a game for a device/system/whatever with limitations imposed by the hardware.

Granted, I would love if the second one was how it actually appeared, but clearly it’s an intentional reference to the really old Atari graphics.

It makes me think of the difference between the original Lemmings animation and the one we actually got in the game. The first one is really stiff and static. The one on the right is much more flowing.

Well, admitting you have a problem is the first step to fixing it, so that’s good I guess.

Nah, its just me being elitist.

Who knew pixel artists were so elitist…

I don’t see how not ever having a chance to touch an atari changes anything.

Uh the Adventure Pony design was done on purpose, haven’t you ever played an Atari?

@HelementOfArmory  
I don’t think you really understand how the drawing process works.  
What separates people who can’t draw from those who can is the desire to draw and the willpower not to keep working even when you’re having difficulty.

Gahhh how do people make little links like that.

@Yorec there’s this: >149781

AP does look very Atari-esque.
 
Although I would love to see some high quality 16 bit pony sprites.

I have no problems with how the sprites look in Adventure Ponies. Probably because I realize they’re supposed to look like the simplistic and crude sprites from Atari and not from the NES or beyond.

G2g, sister’s pestering me to watch Phantom of the Opera.

@Enkidu well, i’ll just go with what we best know but don’t be afraid to correct false info. That’s what science is about, right? :)

@HelementOfArmory  
I don’t think the differences between right and left brain has been properly studied in the case of drawing. Since it’s still a field of science with new discoveries.
