The worst part of working on a rock farm must be bringing the product to market.

The only thing is you have to change her cutie mark on something about dirt `casse if you want it ti be `what if?` pic of her she didn`t have to have a cutie mark with the party baloons.

A great 'what if' pic of Pinkie Pie. I imagine that's how her life would be if she hadn't seen Rainbow Dash's handy work that day.

You move 16 tons and what do you get?
Worn down hooves and derper in debt...

Looks great.

I really like this in artistic sense. If some ancient master would have made this, it would hang in a museum. The expression of a pony's fruitless labor. Or something.

This is an excellent pic of truly mythic proportions, but I think it's a mistake (and an anachronism) to include Pinkie's cutie mark. This pic would have been of her before she saw the rainbow and acquired her cutie mark (and her happy attitude).

Super-Zombie In reply to muzza299 [2012-05-03 23:30:09 +0000 UTC]

I'm not really sure, cause rolling rocks around wouldn't really grow gems in them...... or would they in the equestrian universe?

muzza299 In reply to Super-Zombie [2012-05-06 10:15:42 +0000 UTC]

Gems are just compressed minerals, aren't they?
Perhaps it would be feasible if the force required was MUCH less in Equestria?
Or we could just assume "Magic" and leave it at that.

Super-Zombie In reply to muzza299 [2012-05-07 00:55:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah gems are minerals.... maybe they grow based on the ambient magic that is in the air, and rolling the rocks around just allows for a equal amount of magic to permeate the rocks and cause crystals to grow?

Wow I apologize for writing a long winded comment but I just had two of my worlds combined. My world devoid of hate, and my world devoid of belief; quite an amazing concept if it is possible. Anyway great job I really like this, are you simply nodding to Sisyphus or are you also nodding to Camus as well?

Miradge In reply to AbstractionOfLethe [2012-02-27 01:45:27 +0000 UTC]

Do you know Camus's interpretation of Sisyphean? How wonderful! I love this story. I was really inspired this one, when I created this drawing.

AbstractionOfLethe In reply to Miradge [2012-02-27 16:09:56 +0000 UTC]

It has been a while but if I recall correctly it had to do with comparing Sisyphus to a man's life, meaningless just like pushing a rock up a hill again and again but still the man is content because he does it and has something to do in his life. Basically being happy despite that there is no inherent purpose to our existence.

Is it strange that from a distance I thought that the sign was a giant yellow condom? Isn't that weird? That's what it looked like from the tag. I was pretty sure it was in a tree.

I bet that's what it originally was, a giant yellow condom in a tree. No tricking this smart cookie.

Shudderbrush [2012-02-24 02:36:19 +0000 UTC]

I can never again see an angular sided boulder and see anything but "Tom".

... poor Pinkie (Or rather, "Pinkamina Diane", as her family still referred to her as back then). It always makes me sad to see her look unhappy.


Anyway ... this is a wonderful, semi-surrealistically stylized image. The Detail is truly impressive and beautiful, and the image is dark and moody, invoking so much emotion ... with just enough humor dashed in smack dab in the center to keep it from feeling TOO "Dark".

Very, Very nice.

Это? Цитата подогнана в целом, чтобы не пустовало поле для комментариев.
Пинки оборачивается Пинкаминой одним сдвигом мысли. Это не альтернативная история, а проекция всей моей деятельности в Сизифовом эквиваленте. И до скончания веков надлежит мне заниматься переворачиванием камней.

Beautiful! I'm sure Pinkie's story will eventually devolve into tales of a labor camp or somesuch nonsense.
