Description I wouldn't go so far as to say I liked Rainbow Rocks, but it wasn't bad: Better than the first film and HIPPOCAMPUS SIRENS!  Looked great in their pretty book illustrations AND in the hulking projection form!

Song from the depths...
... Rises to the surface  ...
... Beckoning for you to follow  .

Very atypical pose, great expression, daring and very successful.

Thank you! I'm trying to get better at brighter, cheerier, art styles but it is fun to draw darker stuff now and then!

That was 'grim' dark, not evil, sad, nasty dark.

Wasn't there a recent issue of the comic with the kelpie or something?

Yes, I heard of that (and saw a pic)! There were many hints of kelpie around EG:RR's sirens (I don't know of any folklore where the kelpies' "true form" is specified, but a common modern take is that they're hippocampi, so that works too).

So those three girls were Hippocampus?

HareTrinity In reply to NexusPieXIII [2014-11-04 17:44:36 +0000 UTC]

Yep! As a nod to our world's sirens in mythology, which are normally depicted as women who are part fish, bird, or both (half-fish ones are common and fairly difficult to tell apart from mermaids in some old pictures).

Hmm I wonder if they are any Good Hippocampuses in Equestira

The comics say yes!

I'm inclined to think that the "sirens" weren't a species but specifically those three hippocampi who had the gems and learnt to feed on bad emotions. That way it allows for the species to still be about!

Hippocampi are pretty much fish-horses/merhorses, yes! And thank you!

I liked that more background ponies got involved! Gave a bit of a spot-the-existing-characters edge to it.

This is really cool! I like the round composition, and how you played with underwater shadows!

I did like their design in spite of a large dislike for the movie as a whole.

HareTrinity In reply to Zero-Zivan [2014-10-27 01:21:09 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I've not heard much outright dislike for the film! Was that mostly because it was, at its core, a film about high school kids forming bands, or more specific things?

Zero-Zivan In reply to HareTrinity [2014-10-27 02:08:20 +0000 UTC]

It was more specific things. When it comes to shows that involve humans, I'm a stickler for realistic portrayals of the characters (for example, what band is dumb enough to set up right on top of a trap door?). Plus the overall plot felt like it was recycled from other movies.

That scene was pretty pointless, too, since they didn't really talk about it with anyone after. Might as well have had them locked in their dressing room, which would help explain why Rarity had clothes there. Then again, her just grabbing the closest clothes to hand would explain why she suggested those outfits.

Ah well! Hippocampus-sirens.
