The first thought that comes to my mind is "As the river cuts it's path, though the river's proud and strong, he will choose the smoothest course, that's why rivers live so long." I say this because I haven't seen a better portrayal of a Native American Chief and Princess since Disney's Pocahontas. Like in the episode itself, you can feel the proud culture and strength of the people these characters represent. As a cartoonist and avid Brony, I have browsed your deviations on more than one occasion and have never been disappointed. Specifically, you always manage to not only humanize our beloved characters, but also capture the very essence that makes them who we love, and the story that takes place. I give you a standing ovation and encourage you to keep up the good work!

Chief Thunderhooves: We welcome you to our lands, Rapunzel, lady of many lives.
Rapunzel: It's an honor, Chief.
Chief Thunderhooves' daughter: My name is Matoaka. And my Chosen Name is Pocahontas. In your native tongue, it means "Little Strongheart". We hope you enjoy your stay here.

I probably shouldn't give it away, but these two will make an appearance in the comics soon.

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't know
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The raindrops and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

He even looks like Scott McNeil (the guy who voiced him). Good job!

It's a steryotypical view of Native Americans.

This isn't racist unless you say it is. For all we know, they're Blackfoot, or Dakota Sioux, or Cheyenne, or Crow, or Plains Cree, or any other tribe who wore/wears ceremonial headdresses. If anything, aren't you the racist one for seeing this as racist?

So ... you call MLP : FiM a racist show ?

I just think that it feels better for them to appear so much if they are going to be so sterotypical.

"As the river cuts his path
Though the river's proud and strong
He will choose the smoothest course
That's why rivers live so long
They're steady...
As the steady beating drum"

Looks great. I like that you kept the dignity of the father and daughter, perhaps increasing it somewhat. A very well done shift from anthromorphic to human.

Thunderhooves kinda looks like John Redcorn from King of the Hill

He reminds me of the father whose name I forget from Pocahontas.

It's very beautiful artwork! I don't know if I would be the best critiquer, since I am not familiar with what makes art "good" or "bad", but I can offer my opinion. I hope people take an example from you, there isn't nearly enough Strongheart fanart!

I love the style you went with on this one, vaguely reminds me of a certain scene in Peter pan.

awesome, I love little strongheart, she is awesome, and making this calls for doing a Silverstar... only if...you are okay with it...

It would be really interesting to see an older Strongheart, and maybe some older fillies as well.
