Description "Oh, like I haven't heard that one before.

"...Asshole."

Here we finally have a solid reference for Mach's physical build as it is in the story. Up until now I've been making do with the generic male stallion bodytype. I considered the Flim/Flam/Cheese Sandwich/Trenderhoof body, but it was just too square and not at all appropriate for the sleek pegasus look I wanted to convey.

So here I've created a hybrid of Fleur and a stallion to create what is in effect, a lanky athletic pony.

STR 2, ladies and germs. Drink in your hunky Enclave protagonist.

Mach is from Outlaw, you know the drill. Currently going through rewrites, read the story here: www.fimfiction.net/story/16293…

Oh. My god.

You probably get this all the time, but that means a lot coming from you. I owe a lot to you, Kkat. FoE pushed me to write again, and these past few years have been some of the most rewarding of my life as a result.

From the bottom of my heart, Kkat... thank you. Not just for this comment, but for FoE and the inspiration you gave me.

I see you've found a way to make them lanky vector-pones, finally.
I'd say that the neck looks a bit too thick compared to the rest of the body, but overall very good job. ^^

If by "found a way" you mean "spliced a stallion with Fleur," then yes. Yes I have. This is just for Mach, anyway. He's lanky by nature.

I'm trying to do things that make my work stand out from the show style. I already do my wings in a unique fashion, I think I'm also going to start using pointy hooves like Mach has here. I was going to add little fetlock and chest fuzzies, but it was taking too long to find something I agreed with.

Heh. There's no bad way to make one's style evolve. Still better than the metric tons of skinned ponies filling my anatomy studies folders. 
And really, tis a neat evolution from show-style. Take your time with stuff, of course. Things tend to evolve quite naturally into what you want as time goes on.
Also yay for the update on how I mentally picture good ol' Mach. Might have to try my hand at it when I have time.

Lanky pony is lanky.

...

Wait, STR 2?! How the hell does he even use a battle saddle?

Adder pls. Mach's SPECIAL was at the end of chapter 20, you knew this already.

And the answer, of course, is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPWe9…
