that’s an interesting place to put the cutie mark

@VermiIIion  
The artist based it off my design. The hairstyle is not 50/50; notably, the front curl is shorter and more voluminous than Trixie’s, and has an additional curl beside the horn. The back mane has its split closer to the middle rather than beside the cheek like Twilight’s.
 
It takes literally two clicks to get to your comments, and as I remember your name from other images, I went the extra mile and did five whole clicks to skim through page three. If that’s what counts as “stalking”, I’m not surprised twitter’s a flutter with people panicking about stalkers and threats and doxxes.
 
No, I’m not “from Deviantart”…
 
You don’t have to praise anything, but it’d be a whole lot better for everyone if you considered that people make these images, they don’t just appear. You’ve made it clear you don’t care how you come off as when talking about people’s work, so I won’t bother giving pointers. That said, I find it amusing that you’d believe even a fraction of your “critical comments” are meant to be constructive; if that’s really what you’re going for, you’re failing.

It’s great and all that someone liked it, and that someone did something nice for you, but that doesn’t take away from what I said before. Yes, some kids take after their parentstype of hair, but not fifty-fifty like this. If the artist had treated it as a fusion, I wouldn’t care.
 
And it’s nice to see that you’ve stalked through my comments to find something against me. Although, you are from Deviantart, aren’t you?
 
What, am I suppose to praise it? I don’t care if the artist sees my comments. As I state before, my comment (and most of the other ones, since I have to clarify on my past comments as well) was meant to be taken constructively. It is your fault for becoming defensive and not looking at the constructive side.

@VermiIIion  
As I already said, I made the entire comic in a matter of minutes and the OC itself in seconds. But an artist liked it and made some proper art out of it, and your entire remark about their effort is “it looks lazy”. Nevermind that it’s a silly complaint to start with; kids take traits, styles and mannerisms from their parents, even in this show, like Twilight Velvet and Twilight Sparkle.
 
 
It’s not often people do nice things for me, much less based on anything I’ve done, and I’m not too pleased when someone who’s comment history is sprinkled with barbs and complaints against OCs/offspring just calls the thing “lazy”.
 
As for what you’re supposed to do, you can try commenting about images under the not improbable assumption that the artist will be reading it, and not as if you’re talking about a microwave meal you just ate.

@The Smiling Pony  
Using the top half of Trixie’s mane and the bottom half of Twilight’s isn’t lazy? If this was a fusion, it wouldn’t be so bad.
 
I appreciate people’s art and comment when I like them or dislike them, or when I believe it merits criticism. This is an image sharing site, so what else am I suppose to do?

@VermiIIion  
And just because you think it looks lazy doesn’t make it so.
 
Do you do anything other than “criticize” other people’s OCs?

@The Smiling Pony  
Just because someone likes it doesn’t make it good, and by saying that refutes nothing that I criticized.  
Did I say it was bad? No. Did I say some things that you could improve on? Yes.

@VermiIIion(not really though)  
Next time I accidentally make an OC someone dares to like in a silly doodle comic, I’ll be sure to keep your OC expert opinion in mind.

There’s a reason why you don’t mish-mash hairstyles together for offspring.  
Because it looks lazy.
 
Also the cutie mark is too low on the flank, almost on the knee.
