I dislike the style. Especially with GLaDOS

:
I quite like GLaDOS, simply because I associate her so much with her "giant machine/upside-down figure in bondage" look that it's difficult for me to picture anything else.
Look again, it's not made that way, the "eye" is in her torso

Same

Also there's no value in saying 'Humanzing anything is unoriginal' because HUMANITY HAS BEEN ANTHROPOMORPHIZING OBJECTS AND CONCEPTS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS YOU IDIOT

If this was a blog post/double posts were allowed, my next three posts would read

Oh, I don't like the image as a whole. I just saw it the other day and felt Nepsotic's post could use an example. The appeal of the characters comes from the fact that they're computers, no doubt about that. I mean, they're already anthropomorphic in that they act like humans; Making them look like humans too kind of destroys the point.

Oh, come on, doesn't it annoy you, just a little bit? Shouldn't they be using their talents on real pony art?

No, because I think humanizing them provides for more artistic interpretation. Though I haven't seen very much pony fanart, humanized or otherwise, that was very good.

The ponies themselves have all the necessary features for personification, and I think humanizing them takes away their main aspect. They're ponies. And sometimes you forget that when watching the show because of how well they're personified by the voice actors and animators.

You're missing the point. It's fan art. It doesn't have to make sense, it's done for fun.

I like it, but it doesn't really feel "MLP" to me.

I like it, I don't know what it is about it. It does remind me of Twilight, but I also agree with what Sekto said.

I don't dislike it. I have a soft spot for distant twangy guitars. Reminds me of warm summer sunsets, driving in a convertible with the top down. It's just not very MLP. Music like that would stand better on it's own if it wasn't tied to things that already have a very established musical atmosphere.

Then again, inspiration comes from everywhere, and if this is what the artist heard in his head when he thought "Twilight Sparkle", then that's fine.

A strange thing is, when Twilight sees her future self visit her, the underscore is completely different to other MLP music. Its also one of my favourite peices of music from the show, though sadly there is no MLP underscore available for download.

It's because that episode was an amalgamation of movie references, so the score had to reflect that.
The score in MLP is actually quite varied, but that's typical of cartoon soundtracks.

Is there no rips of the MLP score anywhere, like there is with the soundtrack? I also like the music from the episode where twilight goes insane, its strangely disturbing.

Nope, and naturally the Brony community isn't too thrilled about it.

I, personally, am still pissed off that no OST for Courage the Cowardly Dog was ever released.

Go advanced and tick disable smilies in text and you won't look so stupid when you do that.

Like so

You know, I really don't think Havoc will mind if you set Twilight as your avatar. I'm sure he misses his pervy-faced tiger.
